Despite being one of the most dominant players in baseball, with the potential to become the first player in over a century to win both the Cy Young Award and the MVP in the same season, Ohtani has vowed not to sacrifice his body to achieve this feat. The Japanese sensation has been open about his struggles with injuries in the past, and it seems he's determined to avoid further damage to his arm and other parts of his body. As the Angels and Ohtani prepare for the second half of the season, fans and pundits alike will be watching to see how his unique approach to the game plays out.
Shohei Ohtani won’t destroy his body to pursue a Cy Young Award.
