Shohei Ohtani is doing everything in his capacity to get the Angels back on the winning track. However, it seems like he is the only one pushing the Angels for a win this season. Because the rest of the squad has been more of spectators than players.

A dynamic force from the mound and a hitting machine from the plate, Shohei Ohtani, is the Rolls-Royce of Major League Baseball. Had he not been playing for the Angels, it is hard to imagine where they would have been in the American League. Regardless of the results in games, Ohtani has been a show-stealer this season.

Although the Angels star has been exceptionally well as a two-way player, his pitching has been on the next level this season. And given his exceptional talent, even fans have started believing that the Angels win only when Ohtani starts from the mound.

Is Shohei Ohtani alone enough for the LA Angels?

No individual is enough for their team to win games in a long run, regardless of how talented they are. And the same applies to the Angels. With his two-way brilliance, Ohtani might win a certain number of games, but to win the title, he will need support from other teammates.
