Shohei Otani has taken professional baseball to a whole new level. Just today he set a new record: The fastest ballplayer to ever reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in one season. And he's strangely nonplussed about it all. Hmm...

    Shohei Ohtani is in a league of his own
       playing baseball in a whole new zone

    He hits home runs a mile
       poker-faced, never smiles
       
    Rounds the bases like lightning
       his speed almost frightening

    And this near-mythical man pitches ‘lights out’ too!
       Methinks he's a robot ~ How about you?

Perhaps it's all just a big video game to him..

He's crazy talented, and takes it all with such aplomb. Wow.

I'm not into baseball. I guess Otani is blessed with perfect body and health. I like your poem about him, and he should appreciate it too. Maybe he can send an autograph?

Thanks for commenting, Hilda, esp. since you're not into baseball... Would be interesting reading a 'robotic signature, wouldn't it?!
