There's nothing like an MLB hype video. With the divisional series of the playoffs kicking off Saturday, the league has released a series of commercials advertising its biggest stars under the bright lights of the postseason.
Let's start with this one, starring Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge with an excellent tag line:
