While April Fools' Day might make us question the authenticity of news, eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit has some exciting, genuine updates to share. They're rolling out a new in-game scouting event called the Ohtani Selection, named after the series ambassador and Dodgers star, Shohei Ohtani. This event, available until April 8th, features a curated selection of six top MLB players personally chosen by Ohtani himself.
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 from the Detroit Tigers. At the plate, look out for 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 milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit now boasts over five million players. Although baseball may not have the global reach of sports like soccer, it remains incredibly popular, especially across the Pacific.
In an interview, Ohtani not only shares his rationale for selecting these players but also provides his personal insights on facing them in real games. If you're curious about his thoughts on these top athletes, be sure to check out the interview.
