Shohei Ohtani

I think I've been taking Shohei Ohtani for granted. He is literally in contention to be my MLBoyfriend almost every week. Then, I'm all like "Shohei will have plenty of other chances--let's give it to someone else this week". Suddenly, it's been three years since he's won the title, and you also realize, that even though he's been mentioned a few other times, he's only ever won the title twice.

It seems almost unjust that a player about whom there has been much serious discussion about whether or not he is the GOAT has gotten so little attention on this blog. It's even worse because Shohei is so cute.

And he wears 17--which is my favorite prime number.

That ends today. Shohei's weekly stats are almost always great, but last week, they were amazing. He went 11 for 24 at the plate giving him a .458 average. He had a monster 1.650 OPS with 3 doubles and 4 home runs. Along the way, he scored 8 runs and batted in 11 runs. 

Shohei ended the week especially strong. In the two-game series against his former team, he dominated at the plate. Let's take a look.

Congratulations, Shohei Ohtani! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
