Most hardcore baseball fans — say … the type that reads a Cubs blog at 4:00 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve-Eve — are aware of just how good and unique Shohei Ohtani has been when he’s been on the field over the past three years. But I get the sense that some more casual fans believe he never quite lived up to the hype – even if that’s mostly because of the unforeseen injures.
