I played pro baseball when I was younger. I washed out in the low minors like most guys do, but I can tell you that the reason most pitchers can't hit their weight is because the skill sets for pitchers and hitters are completely different and take a lot of time and effort to master (hitters also tend to be terrible pitchers). I'm not sure that most fans realize what an incredible accomplishment it is to be a two way player in the major leagues. Ohtani is just an incredible talent.

They screwed Ohtani last year. Give the man his flowers. He's doing two things together that nobody has done in 100 years of baseball and they want him to do both of them better than anybody to win MVP? Judge was great and yes, the homerun record chase doesn't come that often but they hyped that whole thing up in my opinion.

I never thought the day would come where Marc put trout lower than #1

I just wish that Ohtani is at least 5 years younger so we can see him be an elite two-way player for way more years. He's already about to be 29 and I can see him being able to be an elite two-way player on both sides for 5-6 years max. Hope he can prove us all wrong and at least be able to be an elite two-way player for at least a decade more. He's the reason I started watching baseball for real about two years ago now.
