Shohei Ohtani Selects Six New Stars for MLB Pro Spirit

While April Fools' Day might make it hard to take everything at face value, there's no fooling around with the exciting news from eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit. The game is launching a new in-game scouting event, dubbed the Ohtani Selection, which will be available until April 8th. This event is named after the series ambassador, Shohei Ohtani, who has personally hand-picked six star players from top MLB teams to feature in this event.

The Ohtani Selection includes three pitchers and three batters. On the mound, you'll find Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers. At the plate, keep an eye on Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.

Play ball! This latest event coincides with another significant milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit now boasts over five million players. While baseball might not have the global reach of sports like football (or soccer, if you prefer), its popularity is strong, particularly across the Pacific region.

In an interview, Shohei Ohtani not only shares his reasoning behind his selections but also provides his personal insights on the players he's chosen. If you're curious about Ohtani's perspective on these top MLB talents, be sure to check out the interview for a deeper look into his choices and thoughts.
