While April Fools' Day might make us skeptical about news, eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit brings us genuine excitement with the launch of their new in-game scouting event, the Ohtani Selection, available until April 8th. Named after the series ambassador and Dodgers star, Shohei Ohtani, this event features six hand-picked players chosen by Ohtani himself, showcasing his deep knowledge and appreciation of the sport.
The Ohtani Selection includes three pitchers: Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers. On the batting side, fans can look forward to Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians. These selections span top MLB teams, offering players a diverse range of talent to enhance their gaming experience.
**Play ball!** This event marks another milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit celebrates surpassing five million players. Although baseball may not have the global reach of sports like soccer, its popularity continues to grow, especially across the Pacific.
In an interview, Ohtani not only shares his rationale behind these selections but also provides personal insights into the players he's faced on the field. For fans curious about his perspective on these top athletes, the interview is a must-watch.
