Shohei Otani has been on fire this month.
The issues stemming from the injuries that have mostly kept the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters' two-way star off the mound have allowed the 23-year old to showcase his batting skills, in case there were still any doubts about his abilities at the plate.
After not seeing much action over the first few months of the season and getting off to a slow start in July, his first full month, Otani has worked himself into a good groove.
