Shohei Ohtani, on signing day, signed the biggest contract in sports history- 10-years, $700 million.

The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, and the smell of freshly cut grass – it’s that time of year again! As spring approaches all across the nation, so does the excitement of a new MLB (Major League of  Baseball)  season. The 2024 MLB season promises to be an amazing and thrilling ride for baseball watchers, with teams gearing up to compete for the ultimate prize – the World Series championship. 

Several teams have undergone significant transformations during the offseason, making bold moves in pursuit of success. From huge trades to high-profile signings like Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million contract, the offseason frenzy has set the stage for intense competition throughout the league. Players like Anthony Volpe, shortstop for the New York Yankees, are the future of baseball due to their incredible accuracy and arm strength.

Freshman Noah Wells said: “Volpe is going to make sure his competitors don’t have a bigger ego than needed because he will set them straight.

Of course, the MLB wouldn’t be complete without its roster of established veterans, whose experience and leadership are invaluable assets to their teams. As they continue to defy age and expectations, these seasoned players will once again demonstrate why they are among the best in the game. For example, Mike Trout, center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels, continues to dominate the diamond.

With each team competing for superiority in their divisions, the competition in the 2024 MLB season promises to be fiercer than ever. From annual powerhouse teams like the Houston Astros to up-and-coming contenders like the Baltimore Orioles, every game will be a battle for supremacy, with no shortage of surprises along the way.

As the season unfolds, fans can expect thrilling matchups, dramatic comebacks, and show-stopping moments that will keep them on the edge of their seats. Whether it’s the impeccable pitchers’ duel or a plethora of home runs, the 2024 MLB season is sure to deliver unforgettable moments that will be etched into baseball fanatics’ minds for years to come.

Ultimately, the goal for every team in the 2024 MLB season is the same… to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy as champions of the World Series. With the reigning contenders in the Texas Rangers, the rest of the MLB competes with them to crown a new team with the World Series title. 

Sophomore Eli Ellison said: “I think the Dodgers are going to win the World Series because Ohtani will be way more competitive because of his big contract.”

As we go on the journey that is the 2024 MLB season, one thing is certain,  it’s going to be a wild ride from start to finish. With thrilling action, unforgettable moments, and battles for the ages, this promises to be a season that fans will remember for years to come. 

So grab your peanuts and Cracker Jacks, because the 2024 MLB season is about to begin, and it’s going to be a home run!
