Shohei Ohtani
Shohei Ohtani is a Japanese professional baseball player who pitches and hits at elite levels—a combination so rare in modern baseball that he's often called a "two-way player" or "unicorn." He gained fame with the Los Angeles Angels before signing with the Dodgers in 2023 for the largest contract in sports history.
Ohtani homered and struck out ten in the same game.
