OhtaniPron by TroutGraphs

Fangraphs, known for any number of things, but especially for "ignore small sample sizes," managed to post this article today, a week and a half into the season. 

Shohei Ohtani had a decent week

Choice quotes:

"How were your last seven days at work? Did you meet demanding, perhaps even impossible, expectations? While performing in unfamiliar surroundings? In front of literally millions of expectant eyes?" 

"It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the most underpaid employee in the world is also its best baseball player. He’ll have to be better than his own teammate, Mike Trout, but if Ohtani is truly an elite pitcher and above-average hitter, he’s got a chance to out-WAR Trout. He’ll have a chance to out-WAR everyone."

TroutGraphs, now advertising their new spinoff site OhtaniGraphs. Have to love it.

Kind of cool to have Ruth and Mantle on the same team.

Even FiveThirtyEight is getting in on the Ohtani wave.
