SHO-TIME The Inside Story of Shohei Ohtani and the Greatest Baseball Season Ever Played

Baseball great Shohei Ohtani has captured the attention of fans from Japan to the U.S. with his rare ability to play on both sides of the ball. He is a gifted pitcher and hitter. The author traces Ohtani's path from his homeland to his sought-after signing by the majors, especially his time with the Los Angeles Angels. Kyle Tait delivers a clear performance, never imitating anyone and keeping his emotions in check--a style that is similar to Ohtani's temperament, actually. Tait's diction remains spot-on as listeners hear about Ohtani's rise to stardom. One wonders if Fletcher and Tait can team up again in a few years to examine how Ohtani's career plays out--he's only 28. M.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]
