Angels News: Shohei Ohtani’s Latest Accomplishment a First in his Career

He just keeps setting personal records!

Shohei Ohtani has done just about everything on a baseball field. He has his name all over the history books, and that'll only continue over the second half of his career.

However, even with him being out for the rest of the year with a torn UCL and injured oblique, he still found a way to accomplish something for the first time in his career.

On Friday, the MLB announced the final jersey sale numbers for the year, and in first place was none other than Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani.

This was the first time Ohtani ever led the league in jersey sales, adding yet another feat to his long list of accomplishments since beginning his MLB career.

Ohtani unfortunately went down with two injuries cutting his incredible season short, but he's still likely to win the AL MVP award for the second time in three seasons.

Then, in just a few months, he'll have to make one of the biggest decisions in sports history, as he decides where he'll call home for the back half of his career.

Just about everyone thinks Ohtani will be leaving Anaheim, means this is the last year his Angels jersey will lead the league. 

However, it's probably pretty safe to assume wherever he winds up will very quickly become the highest selling jersey in the league.
