"Shohei is unique, obviously, someone we have never seen before. What he does and how he does it so easily is just different. But such a big part of who he is [...is his] pure joy for the game and the competition. [...] With all of the success he''s had, he still has that joy. [...] That''s Shohei: always competing and having fun doing it." -- from the foreword by Joe Maddon, World Series champion and former Los Angeles Angels Manager "Shohei Ohtani was the biggest story of the 2021 season, and perhaps any season. In Sho-Time ,Jeff Fletcher masterfully chronicles not only what Ohtani accomplishedin ''21, but also provides the full context to his achievements. FromOhtani''s origin story in Japan to his recruitment by the Angels, hisinjury-marred 2019 and ''20 seasons to his place in history next to BabeRuth, Fletcher''s book is the definitive look at Ohtani''s two-waymajesty." -- Ken Rosenthal, Senior Writer at The Athletic "Historianswill be talking about Shohei Ohtani''s 2021 season for decades, andthankfully the baseball gods arranged for Jeff Fletcher to be there tocover baseball''s best two-way player ever in the midst of a pandemic, tobear witness and mine details and write with grace about the sport''smost incredible individual performance." -- Buster Olney, ESPN "Shohei Ohtani is a singular phenomenon in baseball, and there''s nobody better to tell his story than Jeff Fletcher. Sho-Time is the essential portrait of baseball''s most captivating player,chronicling Ohtani''s rise from child prodigy in the snowy IwatePrefecture to two-way MVP sensation under the bright lights of MajorLeague Baseball. Fletcher goes beyond the carefully scripted pressconferences, revealing in vivid detail the challenges and triumphs of abaseball journey like no other." -- Tyler Kepner, The New York Times "OK,I''ll admit it. I''m obsessed with Shohei Ohtani. I missed out onwatching that Babe Ruth guy, but I feel lucky to have watched this guy. Ieven thought I knew a lot about him until I opened my copy of JeffFletcher''s brilliant new book. Sho-Time taught me so much I didn''t know about the most unique baseball playerof our lifetimes. From the moment I read that phrase, ''10-tool player,'' Iwas hooked!" -- Jayson Stark, The Athletic "Thisis one the best baseball books ever published relevant to Japan-U.S.relations. Jeff Fletcher is the most experienced of the Angels beatwriters, and usually the first one to ask Shohei Ohtani questions afterthe game. I admire the way he has exchanged information with Japanesewriters for four years. This book is the fruit of his efforts. I alwaysfollow Jeff''s work in order to find new information relevant to Ohtanior Major League Ba

Synopsis

- Shohei Ohtani is the new face of baseball, with a playing style compared to and possibly better than the legendary Babe Ruth. Ohtani's 2021 season was a record breaker of all variety, playing at a level never seen before. - Ohtani's story is bigger than just baseball, being named to Time 100's list of most influential people of 2021. -Possible foreword/blurbs by Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels 3x MVP, 9x All-Star, and Joe Maddon, 2016 World Series-winning baseball manager and current Los Angeles Angels Manager. -Publishing just before the 2022 All Star Game, as buzz from Ohtani's 2021 All Star season will be on everyone's mind., The story behind Major League Baseball's two-way playing phenomenon and his rise from early days in Japan to his historic 2021 MVP season. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels is playing baseball like no other major leaguer since Babe Ruth. His dominance as a two-way player--an electric pitcher and an elite slugger--made him the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player, the only player ever selected as an All Star as both a pitcher and hitter, and a member of Time 100's most influential people of 2021. In Ohtani's first two-way game of the 2021 season, he threw a pitch at 100 mph and hit a homer that left his bat at 115 mph, a confluence of feats unmatched by anyone else in the sport. He racked up eye-popping achievements all year. But awards and numbers tell only part of his amazing story. In Sho-Time , award-winning sportswriter Jeff Fletcher, who has covered Ohtani more than any other American journalist, charts Ohtani's path through Japanese baseball to a championship with the Nippon-Ham Fighters, the recruiting war to bring him to the majors, his 2018 AL Rookie of the Year campaign, subsequent injury-riddled seasons, and then his historic 2021 season. Along the way, Fletcher weaves in the history of two-way players--including Babe Ruth and unsung Negro Leagues players like "Bullet" Joe Rogan, Martín Dihigo, and Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe--and the Japanese athletes who preceded Ohtani in the majors. With insight from Japanese and American baseball front office personnel, managers, scouts, athletic trainers, ballplayers, and more, Sho-Time breaks down the physics of Ohtani's game, his technologically advanced training, his international fame, and the role he and teammate Mike Trout are playing to lead baseball into the next generation., The story behind Major League Baseball's two-way playing phenomenon and his rise from early days in Japan to his historic 2021 MVP season.
