Where Shohei Ohtani ranks alongside Barry Bonds and baseball's most feared hitters of all time
Bonds drew 688 intentional walks, averaging an intentional walk once every 18.3 times he stepped up to the plate. Nobody has ever and presumably will ever come close to that mark. However, Ohtani is quickly becoming more fearsome for pitchers.
Alex Rodriguez apologized to Shohei Ohtani, saying he belongs in a higher league than MLB after his historic performance in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series.
