POLL Shohei Otani - dual threat in MLB?

[Rock Strongo]

everyone knows about the japanese babe ruth. his teams best hitter and best pitcher. throws 102 and hits 22 HR's batting .322.

as of now, he pitches once every 6 days, plays the field the rest with 2 days off in between.

can he/will he be allowed to do this at the MLB level?

I believe he can, and I hope whoever picks him up allows him to do it. He is humble and has little interest in money at this point, that may change, but right now he is looking for the team that will allow him to do both.
