Let's not talk about his pitching yet.
The guy just hit his 50th home run and stole his 50th base. When I was a kid, reaching the 30/30 club was an extremely rare and amazing feat. When Darryl Strawberry did it in 1987, only six other players had done it before that season in the history of baseball. Now, there are almost as many that have reached the 40/40 club. But today, Ohtani set a new feat by reaching 50 in home runs and stolen bases.
That, alone, is amazing.
But then when you factor into his pitching success (when he isn't hurt), it's something your grandchildren's generation may never even see again. To do what he is doing as a hitter and pitcher at the levels he is . . . sick.
The guy also plays the game right (I posted a video of him a couple of years ago picking up trash off the floor from his teammates in the dugout after the game before going to the clubhouse).
Francisco Lindor was getting a lot of talk about winning the MVP over Ohtani since Lindor is also a great fielder and Ohtani is only a DH this year, but Ohtani shut that down today: 6-6 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs. Yes, I realize the third home run today was against a position player having to pitch, but still . . .
Oh, and the Mets won again today. And during the Mets game (Fox broadcast), they had a good 10 second mention of the Marshall game this weekend.
