Aaron Judge, star of the New York Yankees, has praised the performance of Shohei Ohtani, a player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, during the 2024 MLB season. Judge highlighted Ohtani’s impressive ability to combine power and speed.
Japan’s Ohtani has had a historic season, setting new MLB records. His achievement of reaching 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in the same year is an unprecedented milestone.
The Yankees and Dodgers will meet in the World Series, which promises to be an exciting matchup between two high-level teams. Both Aaron Judge and Ohtani have been instrumental to the success of their respective teams and will aim to lead them to the championship.
“Doing what he did this year with the 50 stolen bases, that got talked about a lot, but I don’t think it got talked about enough,” Judge said of Ohtani, per Talkin’ Baseball. “He’s an impressive athlete.”
Ohtani’s impact on MLB
Shohei Ohtani has shown that it is possible to combine power and speed, making him one of the most important players in MLB. Although he has not been able to pitch this year, he remains a unique and dominant player.
