The appetite is insatiable, and the willingness tireless, and the merit unmatched, and yet, still, the public at large knows so little about Shohei Ohtani, the man behind the superlatives.
By virtue of being the most interesting man on the baseball field, Ohtani is a subject of abject fascination. The baseball universe will gladly gobble up even a crumb of distinguishing biographical information, but we especially lack any insight into how Ohtani himself feels about the truly singular position he holds as the eye of a storm that has consumed the sport. He speaks to the media infrequently, and when he does, he displays yet another unparalleled ability to politely say nothing revelatory at all.
