Shohei Ohtani plans to hit and pitch in next week's All-Star Game, according to Joe Maddon.

The Los Angeles Angels manager said he spoke to American League manager Kevin Cash about Ohtani doing both.

"The conclusion is that he will pitch, but how it's going to happen has not been concluded," Maddon said. "There's different ways to do it, obviously. He could start the game or come in game-in-progress."

This past weekend, Ohtani -- who leads the Major Leagues in homers -- became the first player in baseball history to be selected for an All-Star Game as both a hitter and a pitcher.
