With the lockout still going on in MLB, baseball fans have finally found their part-time substitute for Major League Baseball games. Yes, ever since MLB The Show 22 has been released, fans are on the moon. And on top of that, Shohei Ohtani, the current favorite of everyone, is on the cover of The Show 22.

Currently, Shohei Ohtani is one of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball. His two-way playing technique is making fans compare him with the MLB legend, Babe Ruth. Apart from being an impressive hitter, the Angels star is also a good pitcher.

And considering the craze of both, MLB The Show 22 and Shohei Ohtani, developers decided to promote the video game on every possible platform.

Shohei Ohtani in double role avatar

Recently, when the developers of MLB The Show 22 decided to promote the video game on Nintendo, Ohtani appeared in a completely different avatar. A video is going viral on the internet, in which the Dodgers star and his twin are promoting The Show 22 on a Nintendo Direct.

The logic behind the double role concept of Ohtani is to portray his two-way playing style. Notably, the Los Angeles Angels star is equally good as a pitcher and hitter both. In the Nintendo promo, one Ohtani introduces himself as a pitcher while another one presents himself as a hitter. Also, this is the first time that MLB The Show will be available on Nintendo Switch System.

Earlier in January, Sony named Ohtani as the cover athlete of MLB The Show 22. He beat the players like Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman, and Juan Soto to appear on the cover of The Show 22.
