The cover image is presented by renowned editors of Time Magazine, Sean Gregory and Karl Vick. Apart from that, Time Magazine also conducted a brief interview with Shohei Ohtani.

“Rather, I’m more impressed with other players who accomplished something I cannot do. I think the first reason I’m not impressed is that there are not many two-way players,” stated Ohtani during the interview.

The last time MLB was featured on the cover page of Time Magazine was during the November 8th, 2004 edition. The players of the Boston Red Sox were featured. And now, after 17 years, here we are again with Shohei Ohtani in a blue suit posing as a pitcher. The amount of fame Ohtani has received since his MLB debut in 2018 cannot be measured in words. The 27-year-old pitcher/ outfielder from Japan has been giving a powerful performance in both pitching as well as batting for the Los Angeles Angels.

The 2021 MLB AL MVP has a total of 93 home runs as an outfielder and 222 strikeouts as a pitcher for the Angels since 2018. Looking at the current performance of Shohei Ohtani in the 2022 Spring Training, he looks as promising as the MLB 2021 season. The Los Angeles Angels will be facing the Houston Astros on Friday, April 7th, 2022, at the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, California.
