Shohei Ohtani is doing things we’ve NEVER seen before… again.
In this week’s episode of This Week in Shohei Ohtani News, Shohei Ohtani goes OFF at the plate AND grinds through his pitching outing. Proving why the “GOAT” conversation is getting louder.
⚾️ OFFENSE (Apr 1 – Apr 9)
– 3 HOME RUNS in 4 days
– 438 ft NO-DOUBT bomb to center
– Another HR to left-center in Toronto
– First XBH + RBIs of the season
– .300 AVG / 1.012 OPS on the week
– 9 hits, 8 RBIs
🔥 Plus: a 43-game on-base streak, tying Ichiro Suzuki for the longest ever by a Japanese-born player.
😳 Heated Moment vs Toronto
Ohtani gets drilled in the arm by Blue Jays catcher Brandon Valenzuela — and the apology afterward adds another layer to the story.
🔥 PITCHING PERFORMANCE
Even without his best stuff:
6.0 IP / 1 R / 0 ER
4 hits allowed
Just 2 Ks (first time ever with 6+ IP & ≤2 Ks)
Hit 100.1 MPH 🔥
👀 Why this matters
We’re watching history in real time. Every week, Shohei Ohtani adds something new to his resume — and this week might’ve pushed the “greatest ever” conversation even further.
