Well, without the getting stabbed bit, or the old for a player bit, yes, absolutely! You kind of expect him to hit a home run in his every at-bat. And if he didn't, it was likely because he hit a single, or a double, or a triple instead. If he hit a single or double, he would then steal a base just to see home better. It was like the baseball gods just put together a player from parts of all the best players of history, and Shohei was what they got. I'm glad he moved away from a team that was never going to the Series to one that just might.
