Dual wield and dynamic “I rarely saw people living in this era.”
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani was elected as the Associated Press’s “Male Athletes of the Year” on the 28th (29th Japan time). A new medal for the dual wield that carved a historic season by throwing. “Otani has become a symbol of everywhere baseball is played, with his gentle personality and dedication to baseball,” the Associated Press article said.
This season, the fourth year of the major, he won nine wins as a pitcher, and as a batter, he fought for a home run king until the final stage, and made a big move with 46 home runs and 100 RBIs in the league third place. The award rush is not stopping now, such as winning the A League MVP.
The article emphasized the rarity, saying, “For decades, few players have been dual wielding as regulars.” In addition to the power of the four seams exceeding 160 km / h, he noted that “Split may be the best ball in the world. The movement of the ball seems to roll off the edge of the table.”
In addition, pay attention to “the fastest foot speed in the ball world” which recorded 26 stolen bases. “People living in this era rarely saw players who could do all of this at the same time,” he said, showing one of the best plays in throwing, attacking, and running.
