The LA Angels missing the playoffs may impact Shohei Ohtani‘s legacy the way it has impacted the legacy of his buddy Mike Trout.
Trout has made the playoffs just once in his career, in 2014. He’s been the best player of the last ten years, but hasn’t had the chance to prove his worth and prove how clutch he truly is because he hasn’t been awarded the opportunity due to lackluster teammates.
Now, despite Ohtani having the greatest season in baseball history, the Angels’ supporting cast will once again not be good enough to make the postseason.
