Ohtani’s 2023 season is over, which means the free agent-to-be and likely AL MVP might have played his final game in an Angels uniform.
When the 2021 season began, Shohei Ohtani was at a career crossroads.
A ranking of his top 10 moments in the majors so far – excluding the World Baseball Classic – has to start back at that crossroads moment, in April 2021.Ohtani had barely pitched in 2019 and 2020 because of Tommy John surgery and a separate arm injury, and he had also shown dramatic signs of decline as a hitter in 2020, so there was plenty of skepticism following him when 2021 began.
In the top of the first inning, Ohtani threw three pitches at 100 mph or harder. In the bottom of the first, he hit a ball 115 mph for a homer.2.
