Ohtani
Ohtani refers to Shohei Ohtani, a Japanese baseball player who joined Major League Baseball in 2018.
He gained fame as a two-way player—excelling as both a pitcher and a hitter—a combination rare in modern professional baseball.
His name has become shorthand for exceptional dual-threat ability: He's the Ohtani of the office, handling both sales and engineering.
