Two months into a rookie season in which he's making history on the field, Los Angeles Angels two-way threat Shohei Ohtani isn't completely fulfilled by his body of work.

"My performance is somewhat there," Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, according to Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. "So I'm satisfied so far."

Despite immense attention and pressure, Ohtani has excelled following a rocky spring training that caused some to question if he was ready for the majors. He's currently the front-runner to win the American League Rookie of the Year and has been a valuable contributor to the Angels, both at the plate and on the mound.

The 23-year-old enters his start Wednesday with a record of 4-1 to go along with a 3.35 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings. He's also hitting .291/.376/.553 with six home runs, seven doubles, and 20 RBIs in 30 games.

"He's a good baseball player and a great person," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's not a phenomenon. This guy works very hard at what he does. He's an extraordinary talent."
