Shohei is the greatest, even only having played in MLB since 2018.

Ten days ago he struck out 10 batters and hit 3 homers in one game.

Last night he hit 2 doubles, 2 homers, and then was walked FIVE straight times. And the Jays manager basically said they'd be intentionally walking him for the rest of the World Series.

We are quite possibly witnessing greatness that has never been seen at any level in any sport.

I still think it is Bonds until Ohtani puts up a longer stretch of doing this, but goddamn is he on the right track. Dude is unreal.

He's definitely on the greatest run in baseball history. Being an all-time great hitter while also pitching really well is just absurd.

It's not really a good comparison. Part of the reason Ohtani's success is so absurd is that he's a 2-way player. He hits as a batter, pitches as a pitcher, and does both at an all-star level at the same time, which no one else in baseball history has ever done. I don't think swimming has any equivalent of a "2-way player" to fairly compare to, so comparing Phelps to Ohtani is like comparing apples to a banana split. The best comparison would be like an NFL player being an amazing quarterback or running back on offense while also playing on defense at an all-star level too, which I'm pretty sure has never happened.

You'd have to combine Michael Phelps and Greg Louganis to have something resembling Ohtani.

Back when two way players were the norm in football, there were a lot of stars, but none were at the absurd level of Ohtani. Not even the great Jim Thorpe, who might be the most versatile athelete of all time, played at this absurd level.
One modern dude came close, but unfortunately we will never know because Bo Jackson suffered that horrible hip injury.

Eh, Hakuho broke just about every record in sumo and re-set them at such a high point that it'd be very surprising if someone came anywhere near beating any of them.

You've just described multiple cricket players. Got plenty over the decades who are top tier batsmen while also being top tier bowlers or wicket keepers

If it makes you feel better, he'll probably hang it in his garage next to his MVPs and World Series championship rings

Cricket has equivalents.

I'd nominate Sir Garfield Sobers as the greatest all rounder.

Fair enough. I'm not familiar with cricket, so thanks for bringing those to my attention.

Nah, there are some that are far more dominant in their respective sport than he is in baseball. Heck, he isn't even as crazy of an outlier as Eddie Feigner even when only in the context of baseball.
