Is Shohei Ohtani the best we have ever seen in sports?

[Gerry Hamilton]

This is a serious question… 

Is Shohei Ohtani the best we have ever seen in pro sports … any sport?

Hitting 3 HR’s and striking out 10 in 6 scoreless innings in an NL Pennant clinching game is otherworldly. We will very likely never see that done again, unless he betters it. 

He continues to defy and do things I never thought I would see a singular player or athlete do.

Major League Baseball records …

Most seasons with at least 50 home runs and 20 stolen bases: The only player with multiple seasons to achieve this combination. 

First pitcher to hit a leadoff home run in a postseason game: A record he set in the NLCS. 

Tied record for most ballparks hit in a single season: Hit home runs in 18 different ballparks. 

First player in MLB history with a 50-50 season: Achieved in 2024 with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases.
