the world is, you may want to think again.</span> <span data-start-time='6708' data-end-time='19771'>It could be basketball’s LeBron James, soccer’s Cristiano Ronaldo or Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky.</span> <span data-start-time='19771' data-end-time='35750'>But the days surrounding Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game in Denver, Colorado played Tuesday night -- demonstrated the

his career in Japan. </span> <span data-start-time='47667' data-end-time='59146'>At the age of 27, Ohtani is the first-ever player selected to pitch and hit in an All-Star Game.</span> <span

data-end-time='92271'>The 2021 season is a little more than halfway done. </span> <span data-start-time='92271' data-end-time='101542'>So far, Ohtani has 33 home runs, the most in all of baseball. </span> <span data-start-time='101542' data-end-time='108521'>A home run is a long hit that counts for at least one “run” in baseball. </span> <span data-start-time='108521' data-end-time='115417'>Ohtani has also pitched 13 times for the Angels this year. </span> <span data-start-time='115417' data-end-time='121938'>He is good at preventing the other team’s hitters from hitting the ball.</span> <span data-start-time='121938' data-end-time='133063'>Last April, in a game against the Chicago White Sox, Ohtani threw a baseball at the speed of 162 kilometers per hour (100

</span> <span data-start-time='153375' data-end-time='161229'>But he is better known for his long home runs in the 1920s and 1930s. </span> <span data-start-time='161229' data-end-time='177125'>Ruth probably could have been the first chosen to both hit and pitch in the baseball All-Star Game, but the event started in 1933 after Ruth had stopped pitching.</span> <span data-start-time='177125' data-end-time='186063'>Baseball’s best players are impressed with Ohtani’s ability to both pitch and hit. </span> <span data-start-time='186063' data-end-time='191792'>Most think doing just one thing
