ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani just completed arguably the most remarkable single season by any player in the past century of baseball.

The Angels have six straight losing seasons and seven straight nonplayoff seasons. No team in the majors has a longer active losing streak. Only two teams have missed the playoffs in more consecutive seasons than the Halos, who have finished higher than third in the AL West just once since 2014.
