[Wayne Evans · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a very brief overview of the Shohei Ohtani baseball career which includes his childhood, Nippon- Ham Fighters, LA Angels and LA Dodgers. IT also includes his MVP seasons and the record breaking 40/40 and 50/50. There are sections related to his impact as being dual player -- pitcher / batter and as his influence with baseball in Asia and North America

As a Dodger Fan and Ohtani Fan - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
