Debating baseball is almost as much fun as playing baseball, but there's one point that's beyond all discussion: Shohei Otani is the best player in the world right now, and it's not even close.

Something I will never forget that I regret, which is my head was down when Shohei Otani made contact in the top of the eighth, I was in my seat, but my head was down for that pitch for our job.
