In his inaugural season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani achieved historic milestones including joining the 50/50 club, winning the National League MVP award, and contributing to the team’s World Series championship. This has sparked discussions about his standing in baseball history, with legends like Barry Bonds commenting on Ohtani's talents and the evolution of the game. Bonds acknowledged Ohtani's prowess but contrasted it with the tougher playing conditions of his era, emphasizing changes in baseball dynamics over the years.
"The pitching and hitting has been outstanding for what he's done. Baserunning. He's a complete player. There's no doubt about the type of player he is and what he's accomplished in his career."
"The game has just changed... Ohtani is not gonna hit two home runs without seeing one go (by his ear) in my generation. It's a different game back then."
