Shohei Ohtani’s impossible baseball skills are outpacing game developers: Konami reportedly had to buff him in a videogame that isn’t even out yet | Gaming

According to news stories from several Japanese outlets (such as Yahoo! Japan and Nikkan Sports, spotted by Automaton), Konami has buffed LA Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani in an upcoming baseball game in response to his incredible performance this season. 

The 30-year-old pitcher and designated hitter is already considered one of the best to play the sport. Not many baseball players have excelled at both pitching and hitting like he does, and although Ohtani hasn’t pitched this year because he’s recovering from an elbow injury, he still managed to set a new record by becoming the first MLB player to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. He’s now on 53 homers and 55 steals, and there are still games to play.
