Ben Verlander, the host of a podcast called Flippin Bats, recently stated: "The week Shohei Ohtani just had is most impressive week in baseball history."
He was referring to June 15-21, 2021, when Ohtani crushed six home runs in five games and also pitched six innings, allowing one earned run.
For the record, Ohtani went 7-for-22 in that time (1 single, 6 HR), batting .318/.423/1.136 for an OPS of 1.559.
I'm a huge Ohtani fan and that is impressive. . . . But it's not the most impressive.
