Shohei Ohtani has arrived at spring camp with the Los Angeles Angels and is ready to continue building off his success from the previous two seasons.
2022 was yet another historic season for the two-way star.
At the plate, Ohtani hit for a .273 average and crushed 34 home runs.
He also scored 90 runs, drove in 95, stole 11 bases, and had an OPS of .875.
On the mound, he was just as dominant, winning 15 games in 28 starts with a 2.33 ERA, recording 219 strikeouts in the process.
On Twitter, MLB posted a few pictures of the slugger and ace all suited up in Halos gear as he prepares for another strong season.

Ohtani is of course a free agent at the end of the season, meaning this could be his final season with the Angels.
But he and Mike Trout will look to finally help guide this team back to the postseason for the first time since 2014.
That year, the Halos won 98 games and had the best record in all of baseball.
However, following an ALDS sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals, they’ve gone downhill since.
Now, the team has a stronger supporting cast around Ohtani and Trout, having signed Brandon Drury and Tyler Anderson and traded for Hunter Renfroe and Gio Urshela.
With their key offseason moves, the team looks prepared to make the most of what could be their final season with the two-way superstar, who joined the team in 2018.
Ohtani has a Rookie of the Year Award, an MVP, a Silver Slugger, and two All-Star selections to his name.
