With highlights Shohei Ohtanis best games on the mound and at bat for the Los Angeles Angels from each month of his rookie seasonas well as anecdotes of his life in Americathis is one book that every fan of Major League Baseball will want.Rarely does anyone use the term twoway in regard to a baseball player. Yet the Los Angeles Angels Shohei Ohtani, at the young age of twentythree, has become the epitome of the term, drawing comparisons to Babe Ruth by baseball pundits everywhere.After being drafted by the Hokkaido NipponHam Fighters of the Japan Pacific League with the numberone pick in 2012, the eighteenyearold Ohtani struggled with the bat during his rookie season. However, he had a breakout year in 2014, posting a 2.61 ERA in 24 starts and 179 strikeouts (as well as 10 home runs). By 2017, all thirty Major League Baseball teams had heard about the Japanese phenom and expressed interest in signing him. Ultimately, the Angels offered him the opportunity to compete as a twoway player and the chance to accomplish his professional goals.After a quiet spring training, Ohtani broke out in the first two weeks of the 2018 regular season, becoming just the 14th pitcher in majorleague history to strike out 12 batters in one of his first two starts. He also homered in three consecutive games during that stretch. Shohei Ohtani: The Amazing Story of Baseballs TwoWay Japanese Superstar tells the story of the player from rural Japan who became a twoway star not seen in America since Babe Ruth.
