Mets players fawn over Ohtani: 'Does he have to be better looking too?'
Members of the New York Mets have joined the list of professional athletes to gush over Los Angeles Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani.
"I can deal with Ohtani having a superior arm and bat than me ... but does he have to be better looking too?" Mets reliever Trevor May wrote Wednesday on Twitter.
May's teammate, Marcus Stroman, is also mesmerized by what the two-way star is accomplishing this season.
"Ohtani is a mythical legend in human form," Stroman wrote. "What he's doing is beyond incredible. Everyone in the big leagues is in awe of his talent. After games, I be running to my phone to check and see what Ohtani did on the night!"
Ohtani leads the majors with 14 home runs and owns a 2.10 ERA with a 14 K/9. He has received praise from many high-profile athletes, including Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, who said last week that he's trading for the Japanese standout in MLB The Show. NFL legend JJ Watt was equally impressed Monday.
It feels like a lot of people are talking about Shohei Ohtani but still nowhere near enough people are talking about Shohei Ohtani.
