As Shohei Ohtani prepares for his MLB play-off debut, BBC Sport looks at how he has become one of the world's highest-paid athletes.
If you've been following Major League Baseball then you'll know the answer is, in fact, Shohei Ohtani.
There have been some two-way players dotted throughout baseball history but Ohtani is the first to be elite at both disciplines at the same time. "It takes so much time and effort to excel at one skillset. The fact he's dominated at both is hard to fathom."Ohtani joined the Angels before the 2018 season and was named the American League's Rookie of the Year.
"He's a really likeable guy," he says. "He works his butt off on the field and is a great face for the sport. He's transcending baseball."
