Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani gained his first Major League Baseball All-Star nod as designated hitter for the American League team announced on Thursday.
Ohtani, who leads the majors with 28 home runs, was named alongside Los Angeles Angels teammate Mike Trout, who was voted in by fans as one of three outfielders but isn’t expected to be able to play in the July 13 game at Coors Field in Denver as he continues to recover from right calf strain.
