”Above the rest”: Shohei Ohtani praises Seiya Suzuki

Back in 2017, Shohei Ohtani had landed in American baseball, and his journey just got better to best this season. Shohei embraced himself as the incredible two-way player in baseball history. Following Ohtani and Ichiro, Seiya Suzuki will also soon join American baseball.

Notably, Seiya had stepped into the MLB market, but his future team selection got delayed due the MLB lockout. Albeit, he has taken the headlines and spotlight, as he will be a promising addition.

Praising the Japanese baseball star, Ohtani talked about Seiya Suzuki. Ohtani said, “I think Suzuki is a cut above the rest in the current landscape of Japanese baseball.”
