“Rising Star-Land of Rising Sun”

-0-

He came with such expectation. And he has not disappointed.

His team has, but not him.

He brings electricity to the ball park, whether it’s as a DH or a starting pitcher.

Shohei Ohtani is everything they said he would be, coming out of Japan, and when he comes to the plate, the buzz is instantaneous.

Ohtani has been limited in the last month, while receiver plasma platelet treatment for a damaged elbow. He might not pitch this August and September to let him heal. He is back DH’ing again, and pretty impressive.

He’s hit (.271-12HR) as a DH and OF. On the mound (4-1) 3.10 in his rookie season.

What do people within the Angels organization think of the 23-year old phenom?
