Starting Pitcher with an 8-1 record 2.79 ERA, 120 strikeouts in 100 innings. Major league leader in home runs with 40. Over a 1.000 OPS. This is absolutely insane.
He is that 6foot 3 12 year old when the other kids were not even 5 feet yet
he is not human.
This guy is saving baseball. I don’t think people can actually grasp the magnitude of what he is doing.
@@rtk5847 There are no amount of words that can describe how crazy this is. Players have trouble with mastering one side of the ball. This guy is DOMINATING both on the mound AND in the box. Just incredible. Something we haven't seen in literally over 100 years.
Ruth Reborn.
The MVP battle between Shohei and Ohtani is been getting competitive.
Good one😂
Greatest season. Eva.
Lol
But let's be honest we all know ohtani would send shohei deep every time
Ahhahahha this is so much fun.
I watch Ohtani like I’m his proud father. I’m genuinely happy for his success like it’s my own. This is a guy we can all root for!
I was jumping on my feets when I saw that blast.
@@happymoments6971 Same here! I was happy FOR HIM!
Fortunately, you are not the only one to feels that way.
Hes gonna be hurt soon. Remember Tanaka, Dice K etc. Asian pitchers can't handle more than 1 elite year. Not in their bones/DNA.
@@irishock he's already been through that phase in his career in 2019 now were on the better side of things lol
He should be awarded the MVPE: Most Valuable Player Ever.
That’s a good one
That's what is called the 'GOAT'
Agreed.
Greatest of all time
@@procrastinator3883 There is tons of GOAT
But he is only the person what he can do
I’m a diehard Padre fan, I’m enamored with Tatis, but Jesus Christ Shohei is otherworldly. Definitely the greatest player in the league this year.
greatest player this year? this may be the greatest season ever done
@Tony - One of the best to play this game ever. I am talking about history of more than a century.
Othani might become the Michael Jordan and Tom Brady of baseball that MLB never had!!! We are potentially witnessing history.
@@phuckfumassters ohtani and trout are a Tom Brady and Michael Jordan combo
I feel the same way as u, I love my Padres but damn Ohtani is the best player in mlb. I can't wait for next weekend Padres vs Angels.
Ohtani made me a baseball fan! I’m literally buying a ticket to see him pitch at home! He’s so exciting to watch
August 31st, they are giving out his pillow but i am definitely going when he is pitching here at home!!!
@@sophialam2895 I got his pillow but I want his T-shirt and his bubble head! Do you know when they are giving them out again?😍💕
@@Benny-uf4wk aww...sorry..I have no idea. I am just following the promotion they have on the MLB ticket website. Is the pillow soft 😆😆😆??
@@sophialam2895 , have fun at the baseball game. I go to watch Ohtani play too.
@@tonyswe9463 thank you, i try to make it whenever i can!
I was actually at this game and he was dominant throwing 8 innings and hitting his 40th homer he will be amazing to watch for years to come
was crowd going crazy?
Ohtani also hit a HR in his start against the White Sox, that was the only other game where he pitched and hit a HR, but he didn't get a W in that start.
Hard to imagine him out doing himself this season. We might be seeing his career best season.
@@indrawidjaja3442 - didn’t he hit a home run while pitching against Oakland, and won that game as well at the beginning of the season…
Lucky, you got to witness history.
He changed the game. Now, young kids will aspire to be a top pitcher and top hitter simultaneously in MLB
@오타니 쇼헤이 😂😂😂 why Koreans hate Japanese so much. Get over it man
i honestly think he should be getting more attention then he’s getting already, he should be the biggest story in sports. this is legendary stuff
Its because hes asian.
Meanwhile in cricket... oh baseball has a genuine allrounder? We like to have one per team.
No disrespect to Sho - I just wish baseball players were allowed to be more versatile and the rules promoted that.
@@followthewhiterabbit8561 no its because its baseball
I was thinking this exact thing when watching the video and then I saw this comment haha
He doesn't have a flashy personality so he wont make a lot of headlines.
He’s gotten himself an MVP.
Kind of poops on the whole 'we need a DH thing doesn't he'?
@@thatsright4194 We need DH otherwise Ohtani can only hit every 5 days (can't play OF cause he need to rest his throwing arm)
@@thatsright4194 if he couldn’t DH he probably wouldn’t be able to do this because playing a position on a regular basis would make him a lot more tired
@@sirporkrib7643 my point remains. He can do both.
@@yrigp LA? The Angels are not from LA lol
He's pretty much famous in all baseball. One in a generation player.
We're all giving this guy so much praise and I still don't think it's enough.
Thats a fact
Maybe he himself thinks it's not enough.
@@TheMakoyou he doesnt he said in an interview recently... amazing man
Hes gonna be hurt soon. Remember Tanaka, Dice K etc. Asian pitchers can't handle more than 1 elite year. Not in their bones/DNA.
@@irishock we'll see, but i wonder if u gonna talk like this next year, it's going to be interesting
At this point, we're running out of genuine compliments to appreciate what he's doing.
Yeah. We are running out of words and superlatives.
@오타니 쇼헤이 Why do Koreans often claim that Japanese culture and things are Korean culture and things?
Why do Koreans often pretend to be Japanese?

I ran out about 4 weeks ago. Thete's really nothing more I can say that I haven't said multiple times already.
When the crowd goes crazy for a homerun by a player away from home then you know it's special.
MVP！
expert
Then you know he is a STAR.
I’m liking that a fellow teume likes Ohtani too xD
Thanks Ohtani. I started to watch baseball again. Can't wait for Trout to return. Angels will be unstoppable
Yeah, even though the Angels have great hitters and decent fielding they still have a losing record.
The Angel's bullpen has something to say to that, lol
Why will they be unstoppable? Will Ohtani and Trout be doing the pitching between them as well or something?
An the A's are always good with one of the lowest payrolls
Yeah I definitely hope so
Was at this game, I’m a Tigers fan but watching Shohei was an absolute treat. You can’t hate on this guy, he’s having a legendary season.
i'm a padres and tattis jr fan but shohei is my HERO.
MLB should make Ohtani Award 🏆
Maybe they will once he retires from his playing career. The award for the most contributions by a two way player. Which pitcher was dominant on the man, and also helped their club out by pinch hitting on their days off or by playing the field? Pinch running maybe? I would imagine baseball coaches will be more imaginative on how to deploy athletic, multi-talented pitchers and two way p
This was an excellent pitching effort--definitely one of his best. He pitches 8 strong innings and then after all that effort hitting a home run. The legend grows. The historical season goes deeper into Fantasyland. Ohtani defies description at this point, no longer adequate to call him special or amazing or other trite adjectives.
He is like a player in a video game with all stats set to 100
I still can't believe this guy is real lol. Absolute insanity!
I was so happy when he hit that late inning home run. Looked like his focus is back. That home run looked different than the last 3 he hit. I think he's back to pre all star form hitting
I bet you if we didnt have videos people would think we were making it up.
I am just watching so I can say I saw Gretzky, Woods, Brady, Jordan, and now Ohtani play
Great post. You definitely have the skill of a writer.
ULTIMATE WARRIOR is a close name...but still not good enough lol
More than his talent, I love his will and composure. He's determined to win and doesn't get rattled.
Agree. Ohtani is a mentally a tough man.
Unbelievable! He is getting closer to hitting cycle and throwing no-hitter in the same game.
How about a shout-out game and muti HR in the same game? totally capable!!!!
Maybe add a stolen base to the list.

@@1989ry05uke You are Ryunosuke !
I read an interesting headline today: "This generation grew up hearing the legend of The Babe. A century from now, our great great grandchildren will grow up hearing the legend of Shohei Ohtani."
Living in the information age where you can be constantly bombarded with push notifications and e-news regarding pretty much anything and everything really dumbs down the fact that what Shohei is doing is, in fact, legendary. Consider that the mythos of Babe Ruth grew not only because of what he was doing at the time, but because of how it spread due to necessity: newspapers, word of mouth, radio, etc. I guess my long and short point is this: we are witnessing history. Not just for baseball, but for American sports as a whole. And for one of the first times in my life, I really don't feel like that's an over-exaggeration.
6:15 "Wow, that gives him 100 innings pitched this year, 120 strike-outs, and 40 Home Runs! Pretty good year ;)"
LOOOOOOOOOL
Also, I was at the game - the cheering in the crowd (mostly Tigers fans) when he struck that 40th homer was incredible and definitely shows how much of a star Shohei is for this game!
Everyone loves Ohtani, even fans of the opposing team. Love the crowd's reaction seeing his homerun.
Even if Ohtani retires now, he is already LEGEND.
Angels, please do whatever it takes to help Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout to become serious playoff contenders. Please. The world deserves to see these guys when the lights are shining brightest.
Yes please. Not only are they a treat for the Angels, but to the sport itself.
If I am the Angels, I am preparing to open the vaults for everyone. Trevor Story, Joc Pederson, Justin Verlander, Freddie Freeman, Max Scherzer here’s the check book and take what you need. Screw the luxury tax priorities have shifted.
Ohtani is a once in a lifetime player. A future MVP.
Future = a couple of months lol
He did it all again. Unbelievable talent and effort!
I barely ever watched baseball and his highlights came up in my recommended a few months ago and he is the one that got me into the MLB
Ohtani is even making people root against their own team when he's on the mound or up to bat lol. He's incredible. Glad to be alive to witness this.
It’s special when the opposing fans cheer for you. Grateful to see so many amazing things during my lifetime!
Love my Angels, and thanks Detroit for being classy!
Minus the Detriot announcer dude with the accent
I wanted to go to this game so badly. Detroit came that night to see Shohei! Absolute star!
What he is doing is absolutely ridiculous and mind blowing. I've never seen anything like this. How can you be a dominant pitcher and hitter at the same time at the PEAK of the sport? Just crazy. I've had enough. He wins ALL awards possible.
He is beyond the MVP award at this point.
I propose a new award.
MLB award (Most Legenday Baseball Performance).
50 years later, U r going to tell Your grand kids about a guy from Japan pitched strong 8 innings n then hit a home run.
Honestly, it’s so weird hearing the baseball talking heads talk about ANYONE else for MVP. I’m not at all an Angels fan (Astros for life) but what Ohtani is accomplishing this year is extraordinary. He’s a once in a century player for sure.
It’s at the point where he can win the MVP only with either his pitching or hitting!!!!
Cy young and MVP in the same year.
Either? He’s doing it with both
@@epicwolves125 that's what he meant
Lol no even close to Cy young, but MVP for sure.
@@Im2k0o7 Who in the American League has pitched better?
this was one of his best games so far . Probably the most hype gameplay by Ohtani to watch this season . That homerun after that all that great pitching was something else
Definitely agree - I think this game ranks #1 for the season. Dominant pitching performance, and he hit a monster HR in a very close game in crunch time.
When I see Shohei Ohtani playing baseball like a cartoon, it's great and fun.
to me it is like watching that kid in little league that is twice as big as the other kids pitching and batting..
@@user-vyC8sk0Oac He's pretty much Furuya from Diamond no Ace as an adult
@@YouCanCallMeReTro no, dont dirty ohtani like that. Furuya is an average batter, he can bat but NOT miyuki nor tetsu level heck he isnt even zono lvl yet and that says a lot especially if u compare it to ohtani. Not only that, ohtani precision is amazing while furuya weakness is exactly percision since he only need to overpowered the batter by his fastball
This will go down as the greatest season by a player in MLB history. Just incredible what Shohei Ohtani is doing on both sides of the game. Baseball God Mode Activated!
Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Calm down man
Yeah Easily
Hey now, ohtani is going to be playing in up coming season he might just be warming up!
Easily the best ever.
This unreal show is REAL.
Viva Shohei!! Shohei definitely is a godsend! He is such a superb player with wonderful personality and a kind, generous heart. And it's always so much fun to watch him play. How can we not adore him, love him, and appreciate him?! 👏👍😍
I don’t see how he doesn’t win MVP every year. He’s actually insane
He has to produce like this every year is why. He's never done this in the MLB who features the best hitters/pitchers in the world. This is why it's making so many headlines this year. He'll get MVP easily this year, but has to do this same thing again next year, and that's where it becomes difficult, because the league will begin to adjust how they approach him, what at bats they take, what kind of pitches they throw, etc, etc. That's why this is a difficult thing to do repeatedly.
If he keeps this up. He’s going to win a lot of mvps
He is truly been great at pitching since the break. So impressive. MVP
I Love seeing the love for Shohei. Let’s get to the playoffs. Come on trout. Let’s go. Ohtani is a video game created player. Best thing baseball has seen since McGwire.
Unbelievable, wish he can be healthy for many years, showing us more and more great games like this!
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼😇💖
Happy for Ohtani's MLB LEADING 40th homerun ! 🥳🥳🥳
18th stolen base 😎
8th win as a pitcher 🤩
Go Angels 🥰
Go Ohtani 💪🤩👍
That franchise record HR ball will be worth so much money… 4:20 Congrats kid
The roar from the crowd was almost the same as a home game, That’s how much people love ohtani they cheer even if the home run is against them.
3rd base umpire really wanted to give him a high five too, but was able to hold back
let me watch again XD
I thought to myself as Ohtani rounded third “Just do it ump”.
@오타니 쇼헤이 Shut up and stop embarrassing yourself.
I saw that too, bro! Just looked like he understood and respected the epic player he was getting paid to witness.
Simply, just unbelievable! Who would have imagined a MLB player achieves making the 40th homerun as a batter and the 8th win as a pitcher at the same time in one game! We are so proud of Ohtani!
This kid has me watching baseball again, well watching him. It’s exciting, MVP all the way
How can you be in an All star game in both hitting and pitching? I mean. Absolutely amazing!
I never watch baseball but when he starts on the mound I make sure to not miss it. What a season!
Shohei transcends the concept of baseball teams. He represents the sport itself at its greatest. Fans can't help but cheer for him regardless of there team loyalty lies.
The next generation won’t believe the stories we’ll tell about him.
The kid who got that 40th hr ball will remember it for a very long time!
good thing we have video archives haha
But we have these videos to show them, including the comments. -:)
With all the depressing news daily, the first thing I turn to when I wake up in the morning is Ohtani. How did he do last night? Pitched great, hit his 40th home run! What a lift to get through the rest of the day.
Clearly, The Shohei Kid will be the AL MVP, but whoever wins the NL MVP should just hand that over to Ohtani as well because this cat is the MVP of all of baseball! Period.
For sure Ohtani is the AL mvp but Freddie Freeman just hit for the cycle tonight and was the NL mvp last year and a batting average .296 26 homeruns and a hit for the cycle lastnight. He's in the conversation again for MVP and so is Fernando Tatis Jr. Freddie Freeman going off from last year and what he's doing this year can not be swept under the rug just because homeruns and I am biased to be honest. I am a braves fan to the bone but Freddie has been a consistent beast in the box and defense. So let me know what y'all think it's not an argument it's just an opinion!! #MVFREE
@@josecervantes1965 not way Tatis would lose
@@Liftercode MLB is in love with Tatis
@@roberterlandson8234 Had he not been injured so often, he could have been hitting as many home runs as Ohtani by now, or even more. Too bad.
I don’t even watch baseball but I find myself watching Shoehei highlights
Exactly 40 games after today. Don't know if he'll hit 50 hr's, but imagine your number 1 ace gets 10 wins and hits 50 bombs. Hoping he does it too.
There 35 more games field he well get there
@@deividz1041 I think there is more then that 41 last time I counted 1home run every 4 games and 2 wins could happen 😊
even 8 wins and 40 bombs is unreal.
Trout said he think shohei can get 10W and 30HR in the season before it started.
and steals 20
Even the Detroit fans going crazy. At 4:20 the young man with the basball and all those around him and 4:36 the crowd behind home plate. Shohei is so good for baseball.
Ohtani's post game interview: For pitching I'm still in a kind of rehab-term after TJ surgery.
…WHAT??😂
8 innings was the most he went, usually they cut him off at 6 innings... but then again he didnt throw that many pitches up to the 8th in this game
Shohei's such a great player 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MVP!!! ⚾️
毎日１回は見てしまう😢
The crowd behind the mound literally turn on their cameras on preemptively when he's at bat to get his HR on video... literal greatness
This guy is the most exciting player in baseball
Without Shohei ,I think Angels will be a
.350 team when trout get injured.
Dude is next level…. And one of the nicest guys in baseball.
Shohei Ohtani, his ability to control the ball as a pitcher has improved. We are confident that we will win the Best Earned Run Average and the Cy Young Award next season.
MVP, HR King, Cy Young!? That’s triple crown in his book!! 👏
Love that swagger when he was high fiving his teammates
The MVP is here!!
I can't imagine the amount of effort this guy is putting in. Being a good batter is one thing and good pitcher another, but both?..
It frustrates me Maddon didn't let him finish the game and earn the CG. 90 pitches, the guy has earned it! More importantly, WOW he's AMAZING!
frustrated, yes, i too was hoping for that CG, but, maybe for the long run, Madden's decision would be proven right.
Watching Degrom sidelined with sore arm and other pitchers... It is prob the right call to pull him at 90. But I get it, we know he could go 9 in with 10 SO!
Maddon said Ohtani was tired. He accomplished what he wanted to do in getting back that home run he gave up. Also, the Angels have one of the best closers in MLB in Raisel Iglesias, who notched his 27th Save tonight.
see my comment
Dude was tired as heck. You heard those loud grunts he made in the 8 th inning. Madden made the right decision.
My God. This guy just moves like a professional ball player.
MVP doesn't even begin to describe this dude. I'm a Phillies fan, but this dude is diffy
Hitter Ohtani was released in the first half of the season, and pitcher Shohei was released in the second half of the season.
My goodness! I literally shouted “NO WAY!” as he crushed that home run cause i couldn’t believe he could do that after 7 innings pitched! What a feeling!
Imagine him winning a Cy young award and an MVP all in the same season. If anyone can do it it’s shohei ohtani
Respect for Detroit fans.
Of all the athletes, he is the only one who can excite the fans of the other team.
We are in the midst of the greatest single season for a MLB baseball player ever.
MLB is like "YEAH! We can finally use Shohei's thumbnails for many of our new videos!"
He's so talented!
Fifty years from now, I live as an old man who is disliked by everyone. I'm going to say, "huh you didn't see Ohtani he was more amazing than any baseball player today"
Sorry but this makes me laugh so hard, I actually imagine it in my head. Yeah, that's funny.
The MLB needs to publish a “shohei ohtani” award after this season.
The best pitchers and the best batters of the Angels happen to have the same name!
He is making the world a better place for sure.
No one gonna talk about how nervous the pitcher looks pitching to Otani at 3:44.
(...and spoiler, his fears were confirmed. HR 40 !!)
A no - hitter with 2 homeruns in the same game. I'm calling it right now. He can do it.
IT'S POSSIBLE
Dude working double-duty overtime like a gotdamn startup CEO.
05:48 I love his grunt. it's 8innings!
Let's hope the Angels step it up and get more players to compliment Otani and Trout. Trout deserves more and should be in a world series before his time is up.
I absolutely love this dude. I don’t know anything abt baseball but this man is somethin!
This was my favorite game from Ohtani. 8 dominated innings and a f**k you HR in the 8th. McGregor strut when he got the the dugout😂
He must be Zeus's son and Wonder Woman's younger brother. That his ability is not perfect at the growth stage
Ridiculous. 8 IP and hits a leadoff homerun for #40. We are witnessing history
This dude is amazing I am running out of superlatives wow
Great control and a real gentleman on the mound. Never even comes close to hitting someone.
anybody who acts like hes not the best player in baseball by a country mile is out of their mind. im not an angels fan but i cant help but be a fan Sho-Oh. i always watch his highlights
This dude is just next level. Beyond generational.
Some say he’s a legend in the making, well, he’s a legend already. MVP and it’s not even close.
