While April Fools' Day might be filled with skepticism, eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit brings exciting, real news with the launch of the new Ohtani Selection in-game scouting event, available until April 8th. Named after the series ambassador Shohei Ohtani, this event features six meticulously chosen players handpicked by the Dodgers' star himself.
The Ohtani Selection includes three pitchers and three batters from top MLB teams. On the pitching side, fans can look forward to Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. For those interested in batting talent, Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians are the standout choices.
This latest event marks another significant milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit celebrates surpassing five million players. Although baseball might not have the global reach of sports like football (or soccer, as some call it), its popularity spans across the Pacific and continues to grow.
Ohtani's interview, which you can watch above, not only explains his rationale for selecting these top players but also shares his personal insights on their skills. It's a great opportunity to understand what the superstar thinks about the competition he's faced on the field.
