Is Shohei Ohtani the Greatest Baseball Player Ever? The Debate That’s Shaking the Sport to Its Core
James Costanz
Being christened as the greatest player with over 150+ years of major league baseball history in just a ninth season feels impossible. But if anyone can make the case, it’s Shohei Ohtani.
His elite versatility and consistency is what stands him apart from all other MLB players. In his career, Ohtani has posted the following totals in a single season:
- .300+ AVG (2023-24)
- 200+ Pitching Ks (2022)
- 50+ SB (2024)
- 50+ HR (2024-25)
- 100+ RBI (2021, 2024-25)
The average MLB player can’t reach one of those metrics, while Ohtani has reached all of them in a four-season span.
