While April Fools' Day might make us question the validity of some news, rest assured that the latest update from eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit is no prank. They're rolling out the Ohtani Selection, an exciting new in-game scouting event that runs until April 8th.
Named after the series ambassador Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' star has handpicked six elite players for this event. This selection showcases three batters and three pitchers from top MLB teams, bringing together some of the best talent in the league.
On the pitching front, fans can look forward to Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal representing the Detroit Tigers. For those who enjoy the thrill of hitting, the event features Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.
**Play ball!** This latest event also marks another significant milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit now boasts over five million players. While baseball may not have the same global following as football (or soccer, for our American friends), its popularity is strong, particularly across the Pacific.
Shohei Ohtani's interview, linked above, provides insights into his selections and personal opinions on these top players. If you're curious about his thoughts on facing these athletes, be sure to check it out!
