Ohtani First $500 Million Baseball Player -A Contract Not Based on Fiction
An Ohtani first $500 Million Baseball Player Contract… fact or fiction? While many numbers are being thrown out there, this one seems pretty spot on. How so?
For one thing, look at how this postseason is playing out. Huge numbers have been thrown at free agents like they’re a pack of skittles. Trea Turner, Aaron Judge and Xander Bogaerts all snapped up millions to play for the Phillies, Yankees and Padres.
Literally, astronomical numbers compared to years past. However, this wave is only going to continue to rise. No crash in sight just yet.
Especially, with the next class of free agents that are coming into the spotlight. Some of the most sought after talents in all of baseball and these guys have MAJOR PAYDAY written all over them. Besides, the Padres Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani is right at the top of the list!

Moreover, Mister “Shotime” will be worth every freaking cent for the fortunate team that finally gets him to sign on the dotted line. Why do we say so? Well, just watch the guy! He’s an electric crowd draw, that can pitch and bat like no other. And the proof is all up in the pudding.
Here’s one stat that is sure to make your head spin. And is one of the reasons why many believe Ohtani deserves the MVP again and again. Chew on this:
In the last 60 MLB seasons, who do you think possesses the highest slugging percentage by a hitter with runners in scoring position? Cues Jeopardy music. Did you say, Shohei Ohtani? Well, you’re right!
Now try this one. In the last 60 seasons, who do you think has the lowest slugging percentage allowed by a starting pitcher with runners in scoring position? Yep, our king, Ohtani!
When you really ponder that, it’s insane lol. The guy is doing things that you just don’t see in baseball. Babe Ruth moved mountains and this guy is over here pitching them hills into the sea with his pinky finger. He’s just that good of a player and he’s fascinating to watch.
Ohtani will get one crazy payday in about 10 months time. And that number could possibly even go above 500 milly. Aaron Judge got $360 million for his historic batting alone. Tack on well executed pitching and of course the number goes way up. Alright teams, let the bloodbath begin!
