While April Fools' Day might make us skeptical, there's plenty of genuine news to dive into, such as the exciting new developments in eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit. The game is launching a fresh in-game scouting event called the Ohtani Selection, named after its series ambassador, Shohei Ohtani. This event, running until April 8th, showcases six hand-picked players personally selected by the Dodgers star himself.
Ohtani, known for his exceptional skills on the field, has chosen three pitchers and three batters from top MLB teams. On the mound, you'll find Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. Swinging the bats are Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.
This event marks another significant milestone for eBaseball as MLB Pro Spirit celebrates surpassing five million players. While baseball may not have the global reach of sports like football (or soccer, as some call it), it remains hugely popular across the Pacific.
In an accompanying interview, Ohtani not only shares his rationale for selecting these standout players but also offers his personal insights on their abilities. If you're curious about his perspective on these top pitchers and hitters, be sure to check out the interview for more details.
