While April Fools' Day might make us question the validity of news, eBaseball: MLB Pro Spirit offers some solid, real updates that fans can get excited about. The game is introducing a new in-game scouting event, the Ohtani Selection, which will be available until April 8th. Named after the series ambassador and Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, this event features six hand-picked players chosen by Ohtani himself, showcasing his keen eye for talent across the MLB.
So, who made the cut? On the pitching side, you'll find Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. For the batters, keep an eye out for Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles, Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians. These selections reflect a mix of skill and potential that Ohtani believes will enhance the gaming experience.
**Play ball!** This new event coincides with a significant milestone for eBaseball, as MLB Pro Spirit now boasts over five million players. Though baseball may not have the same global following as soccer, its popularity is strong, especially in the Pacific region.
