Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is 'Sho Time.'
    He initially stated his intentions to play in the majors after his high school graduation, before relenting and opting to sign in Japan.
    He suffered damage in his throwing arm, which cost him to pitch the 2019 season.
    He was called the 'Japanese Babe Ruth' by mainstream media outlets.
    He was described as having the metabolism of a quarterback by baseball pundits.
    After his interpreter was fired for alleged 'massive theft' of $4.5 million from Ohtani to cover gambling debts, Major League Baseball launched an investigation of both Ohtani and his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara (March 22, 2024).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the first two way player to play in the majors in nearly a century.
    He was the first Japanese born player to hit for the cycle (2019).
    He is the first player in Angels history to record a home run in his first two home games with the team.
    He was the first player in nearly a century to record 15 home runs and pitch 50 innings in a season.
    He was the second Angel rookie to earn AL Rookie of the Year during the 2010's.
