SHOHEI OHTANI

It’s always SHO-TIME!

Ohtani is a phenomenal two-way player whose elite performance as both a hitter and a pitcher has not been seen since baseball legend Babe Ruth pitched more than 100 years ago. In 2021, he joined Ichiro Suzuki as the second Japanese-born player to win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Trout, 31, has already put together one of the greatest careers in baseball history. The New Jersey native’s accomplishments include three American League (AL) MVP Awards, 10 All-Star selections, nine Silver Slugger Awards, two AL Hank Aaron Awards, and a Rookie of the Year Award.

TREVOR ZEGRAS

Zegras was the ninth-overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft for the Ducks. The center from New York tallied 23 goals and 38 assists in the 2021-22 season. Zegras is now the biggest hockey name in Anaheim since the retirement of Ryan Getzlaf.

During the 2021-2022 season, Terry emerged as a rising star on a young Ducks roster. The Colorado native posted career-highs in goals (37), assists (30), and games played (75), forming a dynamic duo with Zegras. In 2023, Terry was selected to represent the Ducks in the NHL All-Star Game for a second consecutive year.
