Now for the AL Player Of The Month, Shohei Ohtani. There was pretty much no competition this month, especially by doing it on both sides of the baseball. In the month of June, Shohei hit .394, with 15 home runs, 29 RBI's, and a 1.444 OPS. Ohtani also pitched to a 3.26 ERA, 37 strikeouts, and 30 1/3 innings on the bump.
