In case you haven’t been paying attention, Los Angeles Angels pitcher and hitter Shohei Ohtani has been on fire at the plate. And he can pitch as well. 

Ohtani was selected to the 2021 MLB All-Star Game, becoming the first player in Major League history to be selected to the All-Star Game as both a hitter and a pitcher. He was selected as a position player by the fan vote, and as a pitcher on Sunday in the team’s announcement.
