Baseball phenom Shohei Ohtani recently signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers – the largest contract ever awarded to a professional athlete.
Ohtani is unique as he both pitches and hits, and excels at both – a rarity in baseball. Originally from Japan, Ohtani comes from a country rich in baseball history.
If you know every stat from the box score or are a baseball novice, these books will shed insight on one of America’s and Japan’s favorite pastimes.
