LOS ANGELES — Following a historic 2021 campaign where he was named the American League's MVP, Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani will appear on the cover of MLB The Show 22.
The video game will be released on April 5.
Ohtani's 2021 season was formally recognized as "historically significant" when he received the commissioner's Historic Achievement Award this offseason.
"I was very excited about the possibility and it actually came true," Ohtani told ESPN through an interpreter.
