Ohtani named AL Rookie of the Month
(MLB.com Los Angeles Angels)

Shohei Ohtani came to the Majors as the most-hyped rookie in a generation, if not longer, and Christian Villanueva wasn`t even among the Padres` Top 30 prospects last year, per MLB Pipeline. Yet from those different paths, Ohtani, the Angels` two-way phenom, and Villanueva, the Padres` breakout bat, were named the American and National League Rookies of the Month for April on Wednesday.
