While April Fools' Day might make you skeptical about the news you hear, rest assured that eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit has something genuine to celebrate. They are launching an exciting new in-game scouting event called the Ohtani Selection, named after series ambassador and Los Angeles Dodgers star, Shohei Ohtani. This event, which runs until April 8th, features a hand-picked roster of six star players chosen by Ohtani himself, showcasing three batters and three pitchers from top MLB teams.

So, who made the cut? On the pitching side, you'll find Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal representing the Detroit Tigers. For those looking to bolster their batting lineup, keep an eye on Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.
