We agree that we will be talking a lot about Shohei Ohtani in 2023. After all, he will be in his last year of contract before becoming one of the most coveted free agents in major league baseball history. .
After all, not only is he strong, but he continues to improve. What is its ceiling?
Progressing from year to year is clearly at the heart of his game plan and the Angels player did it in 2022, when he established himself as one of the good pitchers in major league baseball.
And it’s not like he was a stick celery…
Besides, because he felt better than in 2021, he really hoped to get his hands on the MVP title again, but he came up against Aaron Judge and his historic season.
But Ohtani, in all of this, was still disappointed not to walk away with the title.
It’s the hallmark of competitors as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was disappointed not to get any first-place votes in 2021. And all the latter no doubt felt that way.
What was also disappointing for Ohtani was missing the playoffs – again. He really wants to take his team to the next level.
That’s what could make him change teams, but hey. That’s another file.
But since he is still in Anaheim at the moment, it is this club that he must analyze. And according to his manager Phil Nevin, Ohtani is happy with the additions to the squad, which could help him win games.
He’s excited about the parts we’ve added.

I don’t think that makes him excited enough to stay with the Angels after next season… but that’s another matter.
Let’s say that if he is better surrounded, it could help him have an even more historic season and become a free agent by being really at the top.
