Note this was before his last hit in the 9th that brought his wRC+ to 161 and he's now tied for 1st in the NL

Imagine living in a time where you get to watch Shohei Ohtani play baseball and be mad about it.

"Paw paw, tell me what it was like to watch Shohei Ohtani play."

"Well you see son, I didn't watch him because everyone else liked to watch him. Let me tell you a better story. One about a guy named Austin Riley."

"Who's Austin Riley paw paw?"

"While everyone else was impressed with Ohtani, paw paw was a fan of Austin Riley. You see, that year Ohtani won the MVP AND the Cy Young, Austin Riley hit .208 and stuck out almost twice as much as he actually got a hit."

"Oh."

"Yep, those were the good ol days."

I think he's already in the conversation. He won't have the 15-20 seasons in the MLB that some of the other GOATs have but what he has done the past 8 years has been absurd.

He already has more 50 HR seasons than Bonds. Was the best player on 2 championship teams.

He has the highest strikeouts per 9 innings in baseball history with 11.4.

He has a real legit shot at winning Cy Young this year and also has a great shot at his 4th consecutive MVP.

He’s also played a big part in making baseball as popular as it’s been since the McGwire/sosa days

This is what does it for me, if he put up utility fielder stats + decent relief pitching he would already be a crazy player for the roster size value. But instead we get top notch pitching and top notch batting.

It's like he's solved a century-old problem and exists on a separate tier from every other player
