Is Shohei Ohtani the Greatest Baseball Player Ever? The Debate That’s Shaking the Sport to Its Core
The two-way ability of the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar is a differentiator, of course, but is Smith’s assessment accurate?

In his ninth season, he’s making a bid for another MVP, but he’s also in the mix of a competitive NL Cy Young Award race.
None of the previous 11 players to collect Cy Young and MVP awards in the same season did so as both a hitter and a pitcher.
