Is Shohei Ohtani fantasy baseball's clear No. 1 pick?

There's never been a fantasy baseball talent quite like Shohei Ohtani, but when should he be drafted in 2022? Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports

It's hard to argue how good Shohei Ohtani was in 2021. The Los Angeles Angels superstar not only produced an incredible offensive season with 46 home runs, 100 RBI and 26 stolen bases, but he also took to the mound, going 9-2 with 156 strikeouts en route to his unanimous selection as the American League MVP. With such an amazing season so recently under his belt, it would seem that the choice as to who fantasy baseball managers should select with the No. 1 overall pick in 2022 is obvious ... or is it?
