Shohei Ohtani has not only taken the baseball world by storm, but now the music industry as well, as international superstar Bad Bunny name-dropped the two-way star in his latest track. In his new song titled Tainy, the Puerto Rican superstar couldn't resist the urge to mention the most incredible spectacle in baseball, Ohtani.

In his latest song, Bad Bunny refers to the Los Angeles Angels superstar in the line "Pichando y dando palos como Ohtani" which according to Google Translate means "Pitching and hitting like Ohtani".

However, some Spanish-speaking fans have said that the actual line translates to “Pitching and hitting dingers like Ohtani”, either way, it is great to see one of the top athletes in the world getting his respect across the world.

Shohei Ohtani's star has grown across the world, as the two-way Japanese phenom has not only been one of the best batters in the MLB but one of the best pitchers as well. While some pundits such as Stephen A. Smith claimed that his inability to speak English made it impossible to be the face of baseball, Ohtani continues to break records in every appearance.

"Remember when Stephen A Smith said Shohei Ohtani couldn't be the face of baseball because he 'didn't speak complete fluent English'? Yeah he's on the cover of MLB The Show now and 100% the face of baseball" - @GomesDaLegend
