2021 MVP Shohei Ohtani, for Whom Home Runs and 100MPH Pitches Come Effortlessly, Has a Clear Favorite Between the Two

The two-way Angels star Shohei ‘Shotime’ Ohtani, who seized the 2021 American League’s Most Valuable Player, is also one of the top contenders for this year’s AL MVP race. Putting up a good fight to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, Ohtani is pretty confident of his play this season. 

Also, ‘Gubie Tuesdays’ is back with a bang, and recently, interviewed the Angels star player on things he likes outside of baseball. And the color commentator for the LA Angels also asked a tricky question about the game he plays.

But the player who can do both pitches and hit very well was pretty clear on what he would rather do- hit a homer or throw a 100mph pitch. 

Shohei Ohtani has his favorite!!

The man who can hit home runs and strike out players both very well has made it clear what he would do if he had a choice in doing any one of them.

When former pitcher Mark Gubicza asked Ohtani a tricky question on choosing between hitting a home run or throwing a 100mph pitch, Shotime gave an answer without thinking much about it. 

He simply replied, “homerun, homerun, yes!”

He, who can do anything, chose to hit a ball far away for a long home run instead of throwing an expeditious pitch of the speed of 100 miles per hour.

What else did Ohtani talk about?

The very question comprised of the two-way star telling the name of his favorite character on the famous tv show, Stranger Things. In an instant, the reply from Ohtani came, and he said, ‘Dustin,..he is funny.’

It looks like the millions of other people out there, the Angels star is also a fan of the famous tv show. Not only this, there was another question as well. Mark asked him about the favorite video game he likes to play, and it is Clash Royale. Ohtani also told the name of the player of his team with whom he plays CR, and it was the infielder David Fletcher or Fletch.

Now, after hearing the star’s favorites, it can be easily said that the people who still haven’t watched Stranger Things will be watching it, especially for Dustin Henderson.
