Shohei Ohtani shares first-hand look of autographed Topps 'Transcendent Season' card in Angels colors

Shohei Ohtani is arguably the most famous baseball player in the world. The two-time American League MVP has seen his star power grow as he continues to push the limits of what fans and teams believe is possible on the baseball field.

The two-way superstar has also seen his name reach beyond the MLB, thanks to his record-breaking contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Japanese superstar signed the richest contract in North American sports history this winter, joining the Dodgers on a 10-year, $700,000,000 deal.

"The Los Angeles Dodgers made a huge investment to bring a generational star to their roster. Contract structure aside, they signed Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million contract and made sure to roster the best and most complete player in..." - @isasynhaa

The massive contract came on the heels of one of Ohtani's most impressive seasons in the MLB. In his final season with the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani was impressive from both sides of the game.

As a batter, the former Los Angeles Angels star posted a .304 batting average with 44 home runs, 95 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. As a pitcher, he posted a 10-5 record with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts, helping him earn his second MVP award.

The incredible season has also been honored by the popular trading card company Topps, who created a 'Transcendent Season' Ohtani card, autographed by the two-way star.

The card, which was delivered in a gorgeous wooden box, was shared by Shohei Ohtani on Instagram.
