The only position prospect who comes within five points of Ohtani as a hitter, slugger and runner is George Springer(2014 preseason: 55 bat, 70 power, 60 speed, 60 arm, 60 defense). Both players came with some swing-and-miss concerns, though that didn't stop Springer from becoming a force for the reigning champions World Series champion Astros. Ohtani has clearly superior arm strength and Springer is a better defender, but that comparison is interesting -- as is considering a combination of Darvish and Springer wrapped up in one player.

LOS ANGELES ANGELS
Albert Pujols is looking to get back to his previous all-world form, or at least closer to it. Pujols was recently quoted as saying, “I feel healthy 100 percent. I haven’t felt like this in five years. I’m ready to play first base.” https://www.fanragsports.com/inside-baseball-mlb-notes-are-the-brewers-done-dealing/

This is a good point. Ohtani is going to bring a complete circus of over the top Japanese media.
This will probably end up being the biggest story/issue of the spring.

I'm probably a bit of an outlier here, but I love deep dives into what makes a player good. What exactly is it about Trout's swing that makes him the best? What is it about Richard's delivery that makes the ball do that? What do these players work on to improve their mechanics, and what do they see as the best and worst parts of their "game" (what kind of defensive plays frustrate Simmons and make him learn how to do new things? Does he think through which plays are hard for him, and how to change his approach in that kind of situation? If so, how specifically? How, specifically, did Blake Parker go from 0 to hero? Did he change his mechanics, or was it as simple as pitch selection, or what? If he changed his mechanics, what changed? Was it his arm slot? How he held the ball before throwing? If it was a pitch selection change, what was behind the change in philosophy, and how does he think through his next pitch?)?

To me, that kind of stuff helps really appreciate how talented these people are, and kinda gives you things to look for with each player as you watch them play their game. Though, again, I'm kinda a nerd, so I may be in the minority here.

Jurickson Profar...
