The discussion surrounding Shohei Ohtani and his future has heated up during the MLB season. Several experts predicted a $500 million pact for Ohtani’s next contract. Lately, Tyler Glasnow went beyond expectations as he discussed his viewpoint on the future contract of the Angels’ star during his appearance on “The Chris Rose Rotation” by Jomboy Media. When asked if the two-way star’s next contract should start with a 5 or 6, he said six emphatically. Glasnow cited the Japanese sensation’s two-way capabilities as a reason. He reasoned that during a potential $600 million contract, Ohtani would excel in at least batting or pitching. This makes him a more sure bet for the historic contract.?

Glasnow said, ?Six, it should be six. I don’t know how it couldn’t be six.? While explaining the reason, he further said, ?I just think like, I think the bet is a little more sure than other people. Like, you’re betting on two things. Like, could he be bad at pitching and hitting? I think if one doesn’t work out, the other one’s probably going to be good.??
