""He's a unicorn. There's no more adjectives you can describe Shohei," Freeman said. "It's 4-for-4, five walks, he finally got pitched to in his last at-bat, and he still had the patience to not be trying to do too much and get on base. He's just incredible. "We've been talking about him since he got here in 2018. We're still running out of words to describe a once-in-a-10-generational player.""
""He's a freak," Klein said. "I mean, that guy. I don't know how anyone can do what he does. Being the best hitter and the best pitcher in the league, I don't think there's a word to describe it other than he's the GOAT. "But, I mean, just getting to be teammates with him is a great honor. He's going to go out there and shove tomorrow, and we'll be like, 'Man he was on base nine times yesterday and he's not tired at all.'""
Shohei Ohtani went 4-for-4 with five walks in Game 3 and also delivered a six-plus inning pitching outing. Ohtani's combined hitting and pitching performance accentuates his rare two-way skill set and makes conventional labels feel insufficient. Observers describe his talent as beyond "generational," with Freddie Freeman calling him a "once-in-a-century" player and labeling him a "unicorn." Teammate Will Klein called Ohtani a "freak" and the "GOAT," noting the rarity of being both the best hitter and best pitcher while remaining resilient after an exhaustive offensive day. Teammates consider it an honor to play with him.
