Latimes.comBill James Throws Shade At Shohei Ohtani
Statistician Bill James isn''t a big fan of hype, it seems, and that means he''s a bit of a skeptic when it comes to Shohei Ohtani. James, regarded as the godfather of analytics in baseball, took a swipe at Ohtani — or perhaps more specifically the hype around him — on Saturday. You remember how, a year ago, everybody was all excited about Shohei Ohtani being the next Babe Ruth? That was fun. — Bill James Online (@billjamesonline) May 18, 2019 Ohtani has 24 home runs in 368 career at-bats. No, he''s not Babe Ruth, but that''s still impressive and a pretty significant total. Just to drive the point home, Ohtani homered later on in the game Saturday. James has a curmudgeonly side and he''s made some other comments that rightly didn''t go over well in the past. It''s not clear what his big issue with Ohtani is, but it''s a little bit over the top.
