Shohei Ohtani Selects Six New MLB Pro Spirit Stars

While it's challenging to stay credulous on April Fools' Day, there's no shortage of genuine news to dive into, such as the exciting developments in eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit. The game is set to launch a new in-game scouting event called the Ohtani Selection, available until April 8th. Named after the series ambassador Shohei Ohtani, this event showcases the Dodgers star's personal choice of six standout players, balancing three batters and three pitchers from various top MLB teams.

So, who are the stars of the Ohtani Selection? On the pitching side, we have Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. For the batters, keep an eye on Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.

This latest event marks another milestone for eBaseball, with MLB Pro Spirit now surpassing over five million players. While baseball may not have the global following of sports like soccer, its popularity remains strong across the Pacific.
