Shohei Ohtani has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Angels.

Ohtani also considered the Giants, Mariners, Dodgers, Cubs, Rangers and Padres.

Ohtani is one of the most intriguing players to reach the MLB in years given his abilities as both a pitcher and hitter.

“In the end, he felt a strong connection with the Angels and believes they can best help him reach his goals in Major League Baseball,” said agent Nez Balelo in a statement.

General manager Billy Eppler has long expressed interest in trying a six-man starting rotation, which would allow Ohtani to remain on the customary structure of Japan where starters pitch once per week and he would have more recovery time to also hit at designated hitter.
