Link to original video: • The Summer Shohei Ohta...
Japan's summer high school baseball tournaments are like March Madness in the United States.
The son of Hanamaki Higashi coach Sasaki is playing baseball at Stanford University this year.
Texas HS football, Minnesota HS hockey, South Africa Schoolboy Rugby, Indiana HS basketball etc. Have insane HS atmospheres. But Japan HS baseball is in its own league
Otani won 10 games last season as a pitcher and was the home run leader in the majors.
He is currently the home run leader this season while rehabbing from elbow surgery.
The only person who can challenge Ohtani is the major home run king. Go ahead and win 10 games. And with the Angels.
Well Ben Joyce clocked in multiple times at 105 mph+ at the university of Tennessee. Then graduated and signed to the Angles. Was in top 3 fastest pitches in 2023. Ohtani is different because he’s a great hitter as well. Most pitchers are just that.., a pitcher. They usually don’t even hit lol along being the best hitter on the squad
Ohtani is not only the only 2-way player today, but he's the only 2-way player in MLB history since Babe Ruth. Ohtani is arguably even more impressive since he does both within the same game. Ruth pitched part of his career and batted the other part. One disclaimer is that all pitchers in the National League were forcibly 2-way players up until 2020, but they aren't considered actual 2-way players since none of them could hit the ball well like Ruth or Ohtani.
He's not the only one, but he is the only one who has done it successfully over an extended period of time.
Baseball is the number one sport in Japan.More people in japan watch the world baseball classic than they did the world cup.
ワールドカップも人気ですが、WBCの第一回、第二回はイチローが居て、第五回大会は大谷翔平が居たから人気だったのです。
That's not true. I'm Japanese, but when it comes to international competitions, the soccer World Cup is way more popular than baseball.
@@user-lc2nd9qq8t thdn you need to look up the tv numbers for the WBC.
@@user-lc2nd9qq8tワールドカップは日本時間の深夜に行われていた関係もあり、WBCに比べると視聴率は低かったです。
大谷翔平の花巻東高校時代の
映像見てくれてありがとう😊❤️
高校の時からAmazing！
で飛び抜けた野球センスが
ありました🔥🤩👍👍👍
So in the US we get players all the time who can throw 100mphs It just comes down to are they accurate? and if they are how long will their arm last. Because throwing 100 at that young age usually sees a short pitching career in the pros. Now if you threw 90s and later threw 100s your arm would be more developed to throw 100.
Now I've heard of 14 year old throwing upper 80s. I'm one of those although I was consistent mid 80s. by the time my senior year came(18) I was throwing low 90s. So Ohtani to be throwing that fast so young is a feat and just as rare over here. Just comes down to how healthy he can stay.
Avg pitch speed in highschool I would say is mid 80s to high 80s.
I pitched in high school and topped out low 70s - I wasn’t great but started on a team that won state regionals. Some of the best pitching we faced hit early 90s but 100 at that age is pretty absurd.
Not the point of the video but when they mention that rivalry in high school between Shintaro Fujinami and Shohei Ohtani I found it fascinating, because fast forward a decade Fujinami has been absolutely horrendous in the MLB while Ohtani has been going on to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest to ever play.
Also they're the nippon-ham FIGHTERS, not the ham fighters, they have no quarrel with pork😂
The Bay Blues play in the 1934 Japan-U.S. baseball game held at Koshien Stadium.
“It might be badminton.” Nope, baseball. Football (soccer) comes in far second. Baseball is life in Japan. 🤣
“He’s probably quite happy with his 700 million contract. Rather than win at Koshien.” Omg, don’t even say that. 😂 Koshien is sacred ground for Japanese high school baseball players. I’m sure he’s happy with his contract now, but winning Koshien is like finding Atlantis. Can’t compare it to money. 😂
I had a friend in high school pitched in the high 90's. He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners out of school. Sadly, he never made it out of farm ball. There are a few every year like that. I would arbitrarily guess less than 1% of them make it to the majors.
Japanese high school baseball is insane
Should definitely watch "How Japan Took over Baseball" It's an hr long, but it's a great video. Y'all should consider it.
The guy that made this original video could benefit immensely from an editor.
Hey Office Blokes! I grew up playing baseball for showcase and travel teams hoping to gain attention from D1 and MLB scouts. In my experience, the avg high school pitching speed depends on the type of school you're attending. For example, if you play baseball for a smaller school who doesn't care about their sports programs, the average speed of a pitcher could very between 70-75 mph. If you're playing for a school who takes sports more seriously, but baseball isn't their main focus (usually American football is), you'll see 75-87 mph with the rare occasion of having a guy who can touch 90. If you're playing for a school who takes their baseball program seriously and is often in the running for state playoffs, you'll see nothing but guys who can throw 85-90 as well as a few D1 caliber players who hover around 90-97 mph. As someone who spent most summers battling D1/MLB bound pitchers, figured I could answer that thought provoking question. Cheers!
👍🏻
i was able to throw in the high 80's and touched 90 on a couple of pitches at 14. However, I was also 6'6" and weighed 230lbs. In addition that came with ZERO control!
Haha I'd be terrified to step in the box!
When my nephew was in HS he could throw about 85-90. Then he had to get Tommy John surgery on his pitching arm.
We had two guys in our area go to the minor leagues (drafted by MLB teams) within a couple of years. Both were pitchers that were throwing 95mph as seniors in hs.
Jeremy Horst and Ryan Bollinger.
When i was 15 i was hitting 85 on the gun, I was very dumb though and never stretched and ended up throwing my arm out from going to festivals and doing speed pitch all the time, which is a game at festivals where you see how fast you can throw and gotta guess the 3rd pitch with the exact speed to win a prize, I was obsessed with it, by 18 my arm was DONE, nowadays I can throw about 2 pitches before my arm is jello lol
I played baseball up until 13 but I was a catcher for a 15 year old during fall ball and he got up to 74 mph. Ohtani was throwing hard back then but it did catch up with him with his Tommy John surgery
Japanese high school students are like this in other events as well.
Sports and culture『marching band』club.
2:35 my friend Andy Painter (name drop) threw a bit faster at the same age as Shoehai. Guy was a few years behind me but an absolute stud. In the Phillies organization and got drafted pretty dang early. He was easily one of our best pitchers when he was only a freshman (14 yrs old). It was mad crazy to watch (especially knowing the kid). You get this goofy and babyfaced looking 6 foot 4 (ish) kid and he starts throwing fastballs low 90s mph and is striking out men (high school seniors/ 18 yrs old with full beards that are also some of the best in the country).
As others stated Japan and Highschool baseball is on another level. But looking back at some of the teammates I played with and where they're at now? Im pretty proud of myself to have just been in the presence of most of them lol!
Also don't know for sure the average speed of that age. But as stated, getting to play in South Florida? There were 14 + year olds that sat mid 80 mphs.
Most of the kids throwing 90 + (with good offspeed pitches) almost always get a chance at MLB draft //// a spot on the roster of a very good division 1 school
You have to be very very STRONG 💪 to break a baseball ⚾️ bat across your knee or the great Bo Jackson across his head 😳
Just react to Greatest Athlete In The World Shohei Ohtani video by Baseball Doesn't Exist
The Japanese Love Boxing also, their boxers 🥊 are rock stars in Japan but Baseball is #1 in Japan
Baseball doesn’t exist just uploaded a great new video covering the season so far
Lately, I've been limiting the number of pitches. It is improving because too many Japanese people have Tommy John surgery.
What happened to keeping up with the NHL playoffs you watched a recap video after 2 games and since then a whole round has passed
Average i would say is 70. A little below is 60. Its rare in highschool to see someone throwing 80. The ball actually starts to whistle in the air at about 84. At 96 i think it gets to the plate in about 300 miliseconds
Before highschool i played a little semi pro. We got paid for sponsoring a battle cage company. In highschool i threw 80s, the year after graduation i played semi pro for jet box and got my 4 seam up to 94, and my cutter around 89. Then i got recruited by a houson astros scout called glenn barker, when i would go play for the astros minor league farm system team, the corpus Christi hooks. Of course i didnt though. 😢
an arsenal fan here, but that bat is mint.
75 to 80 mph is a typical hs pitching speed.
高校野球観戦に外国人入ってきそうで怖いʬʬʬʬʬʬʬʬʬʬ
No. the real destroyer of this generation is Shintaro Fujinami.
He was the most dominant pitcher in Japanese high school baseball this age.
And he is still literally destroying hitters.😁
fuji😆
Eh Japan and Korean idol culture can have a pretty dark underbelly especially when it comes to female stars.
Ohtani will be hyped for another year or two then he will be just another player--- ex. Mike Trout, Bryce Harper. He will never live up to that contract ($70 million/year-10 years). MLB knows they will earn enough money in just a few years to easily cover the contract. They have done this before.
