Plus: Another way to look at Ohtani's year
The version of Shohei Ohtani that won the 2018 AL Rookie of the Year was good. The Ohtani who won the 2021 AL MVP was great. But 2023 Shohei Ohtani? He's the best of both.
The current version of Ohtani combines the top home run-hitting qualities of each previous award-winning version. Ohtani has brought back the signature left-center-field swing that put him on the map as a rookie and coupled it with the monster pull power that drove him to his 46-homer season two years ago.
Ohtani's 2023 home run spray chart looks like a combination of his 2018 home run spray chart with his 2021 home run spray chart. So it's no surprise that this is his best power-hitting season yet. |
