In the current list of MLB players, the name of Shohei Ohtani echoes as the best. The Japanese star is often termed a two-way phenom because of his pitching and batting skills. It also makes him a rare personality in the MLB world, with no one else in a similar space. And if any comparison is made that is not worthy of it, the reactions are bound to follow.

This happened when MLB legend Alex Rodriguez brought an NFL player into the picture. He compared his bat swing with the 2023 home run leader Ohtani, which even got a fierce response from 2009 World Series winner CC Sabathia. Though what propelled him to say this? Let us find out!

Alex Rodriguez Brings Shohei Ohtani Similarities With Micah Parsons

MLB legend Alex Rodriguez often shares posts of his meetings with athletes. This time it was Dallas Cowboys Linebacker, Micah Parsons. Given that baseball is in mind and the heat of Rodriguez being a former player and now an analyst, it took over the scene. Moreover, Micah’s baseball experience added to the conversation, as Alex compared him with Ohtani.

Rodriguez shared an Instagram post of the meeting. It read, “Not quite @shoheiohtani, but solid swing by @_micahparsons11!” It came after Micah showed his swing, whom Alex referred to as Ohtani look alike.

Given that it was a public comparison, many did not like it. One was Alex 20009 Yankees teammate CC Sabathia, who rejected the claim as “No, it didn’t look like Ohtani.” As the responses floated in, other fans joined in the conversation. One fan said. “The Yankees could use him right now.” The other seemed amused and asked, “He played baseball? When… t-ball? Lol.”

Even Micah Parsons failed to get the fan’s support this time, but he surely knows how to hit home runs. It was visible in the 2022 Reliant Home Run Derby.

Micah Parsons is on a 4-year contract worth $17,079,793 with the Dallas Cowboys. He is a talented football player but also equally good at the plate. He showed that while bringing his learnings from the childhood during Reliant Home Run Derby, where he scored 13 homers. It was a great day for the competitive Micah. He said at the end, “That’s how competitive I am. I just want to do anything to win.”

It certainly seems to be the case. The 24-year-old has claimed many awards since his NFL debut. It includes NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, 2× First-team All-Pro, and 2 x Pro Bowl. He is looking to do similarly in the upcoming NFL season as a star on the football field. But when it comes to baseball, Ohtani remains the clear winner, whether him or anyone else. The latest video only showed the same.
