Ok
nein
Actually the video games had to create a two way player option because he was too good to recreate in the videos games previous format.
you should make a video about aaron judge
Did the Angels use Zip Recruiter to sign Ohtani?
Shohei is a video game character, but its amazing how the Angels always get these great players and still end up buried in the standings.
Another thing that makes it difficult for the Angels is there in the same division as the Astros. As long as Houston keeps producing the way they are, the Angels are never going to get close to a World Series.
@@manzac112 they could always get the wildcard😂
@@austinlarrimore6542 Seattle: You serious, Angels? 😒
@@austinlarrimore6542 ik but 19 games can be the huge changing factor
They would be a 100 loss team without Ohtani
My favorite part about Ohtani is that he looks like he is genuinely having fun while playing the game.
Yeah he isn't driven by money at all. Nippon Ham got all the posting fees and Shohei was paid peanuts before this season. Even now he is still paid less than Mike Trout.
kinda interesting to see this comment as he just got signed with $700M contract lol@@IchiroSakamoto
@@ChaseDotters I mean, he's definitely want to be the GOAT, getting a record in contract is one way LOL.
I can’t wait to be an old man telling my grandchildren that there will never be another Ohtani. Watching him close out the WBC gave me goosebumps. I can’t wait to see how many records he sets.
but there will be, he is a catalyst that will elevate the game's standard. 2 way players like him are the future of the mlb and maybe a lot more common for your grandchildren to watch. He will be remembered for this moment forever though but sooner or later everyone gets surpassed in skill,/ability or records/stats. Just look at snowboarding, what the kids these days are doing compared to 20 years ago.
@@charlieromero6115 thing is they need to have a body. If you look closely. His body is what made him do it all. Hell not even someone in basketball will ever have a player like lebron. Their bodies are literally made to play the game to the highest level.
@@charlieromero6115 no doubt, he is the catalyst and opened up the floodgate for future 2-way players. but, what will be hard to do is to break the records. take 2022's records for example, 15 Wins, 2.33 ERA, 12K/9, 34 HR, 95 RBI, 11 SB.
@@dejesusjosephmikhel3225
If you combined LeBron's body with Michael Jordan's mind, that would easily trumph MJ or LeBron. MJ lacked the more physically dominating body, while LeBron lacks the ultra tryhard approach, clutchness, & killer instinct that MJ possessed.
As regarding the "there never will be another Ohtani" comment. You can say the same thing about any individual, as everyone is different.
Ohtani doesn't pick up trash off the field because it's " good luck ". Children in Japan are taught that cleaning is everyone's responsibility. If you look at video of downtown Tokyo the streets are so clean it looks like an indoor mall. Most elementary schools in Japan don't even employ a janitor because the young children do ALL the cleaning - from toilets to washing floors and dishes - and they laugh and smile while doing it. You can see plenty of videos of this on CZcams - it's very heartwarming to watch.
I'm sorry children are being made to clean schools including toilets to the extent that the job is no longer needed and that's somehow heartwarming????
@@joshuayoung7972 considering its the kids themselves making the mess it doesn't seem cruel that they clean up after them selves. they aren't made to do it to cut labour costs, they do it to teach respect for their environment and the skills to clean up after themselves and have productive routine- its not labour intensive when you have 30+ kids doing the same thing, it just gives them awareness of their surroundings. the amount of adults I know what don't have this skill is embarrassing.
Yep..
First time I was in Tokyo I went looking for a trash can to throw away trash from my lunch.... nowhere to be found.
Was kind of stumped for a second.
Then looked around and saw there was nontrash anywhere...
They're such a disciplined culture that they take it home, work etc to find a trash can.
Was really impressive
@@joshuayoung7972it’s to teach them life skills, it’s not a punishment or chore for them it’s just like a school activity
@@joshuayoung7972 Such a shame learning that making a mess requires work to clean. I think a lot of people I see tossing trash out their car windows could have used some of this teaching.
Numbers are insane but I'm more impressed at how damn generous, respectful, humble and level headed he is. Wish all athletes were like him.
I love the athletes in America but god damn, the amount of respect these foreign players deserve is unreal. It's people like Luka Doncic, Manu Ginobili, Ohtani, Giannis, Jagr, so many others. I just can't ever hate them. Dedicated to their craft and it's just beautiful.
Yeah the social design of Japan is essentially built upon respect and obedience
@Rvve Duio think I’m about to join the list
Japanese thing
Culture. He was raised with these values whilst Americans are raised on TikTok and missing parents
He made me a baseball fan. 23 years of not caring about baseball, and now i care about baseball. He's like a real life superhero
How? Baseball doesn't exist
Cool story
Same!!!!!
Same
Him and Aaron Judge are the best players to play in the last 100 years, I don’t know where it’s gonna be and I hope It’s in The Bronx but they’re going to end up on the same team in the future
Went to watch them last night, he hit two homers and struck out 10. Truly a privilege to witness this legend in the making
Shohei brought me back to baseball. That's just how good he is.
you need a life then.
And yet he isn't even the top 5 players in baseball. On his best day, he is half the player Judge is.
@@skankytrick when Judge can do what Shohei can in both pitching and hitting, then you tell me.
@@skankytrick 🤡
@@skankytrick average Yankee fan take
Ohtani is so good it's as if he's a Road to the Show player, he literally can do everything it's unreal
that might be my favorite thing about him existing. he's single handedly made it so i can be a two way player in road to the show (as far as i know, at least. i never had a playstation, so i only played the ones on vita before they came to xbox/switch and i don't think you could do this on the vita ones.).
Lol he got the difficulty set too low
@@conedx I was just about to say this, my man made a VIDEO GAME add his ability to it, really crazy when you think about it
You could've been a two player before mlb 22. I was doing that in like 17 or 18. Stop capping.
I agree he is a good all-rounder
Craziest thing I’ve seen him do is incorporate pitches into his arsenal after seeing them as a hitter. Seriously, I have no frame of reference for that..
It's absolutely insane. Like he saw a 100 MPH sinker, thought it was a great pitch and his next start threw a 101 MPH Sinker, this guy is the greatest ever
Because … there is none. Wish I could see him pitch and hit, there won’t be another one like him in my lifetime - or never.
The fact that he looks like a comic book superhero only adds to his vibe.
@@aynett7380 Its not insane. Anyone capable of throwing 100 mph who also hits would be able to incorporate that in to this repertoire. Makes perfect sense.
@@vgold4286 just like it’s not crazy to lift a car, anyone that can exert 2 tons of force would be able to lift a car. Makes perfect sense.
@Princess Daisy I think we are just butting heads on word usage. I don’t like words like crazy and insane, or even unbelievable. It’s totally believable..
Im for 45 years old and been watching baseball since i was 7. I have to say Shohei ohtani is definitely one of the best player in the leagues I have seen and that's one thing that we all can unanimously agree on. I think it's special to see someone like that come along. Definitely a legend in the making so it's something to really appreciate while he's still here cuz it's something we haven't seen at all like him and probably be another 100 years until we see something like that again. He definitely will be talked about through every next generations.
Anyone who has played baseball understands that it is impossible to throw a 165-kilometer fastball unless you are physically gifted, and even that alone is amazing, but to mass produce home runs is so unrealistic that even in the world of manga, there is no anime character that can surpass Shohei Otani. A player who surpasses the human imagination.
Lol. People really love saying hyperbolic shit and somehow believing it
@@liam3104cause it’s a huge dopamine dump just like drugs
Goro shigeno is pretty close but you're right lol
tokuchi toua
@@Geturgutsoffmeawesome anime, and even then goro couldnt compare to ohtani, thats how crazy he is irl
He basically sells his entire life for glory, even his winnings don't really go to himself. Dude is damn machine, and he's seems super nice on top of that
Facts. Off the top of my head, I don’t know or care about the highest earning athletes. But greatness - you can recognize with one name i.e. Ruth, Jordan, Brady, Gretzky, Earnhardt, Serena, etc. Ohtani will be a name that lives forever
The Japanese instill wholesome values in their children and its very important to act honorably.
Very true but you have to understand that this kind of obsession is his life. He is doing exactly what he wants to do. He wants to be the best baseball player alive and loves playing the game. So we can look at it like he is sacrificing himself for baseball but he is literally living the dream. That is why the money doesn't matter. That is why he doesn't do anything but baseball. He is probably truly happy and I envy him for that more than the fame and money
Real man
@@glazed6178 Well spoken, very well spoken.
as an angels fan it’s so hard cause of course i want ohtani to stay with us but i also want him to win and be in a team where all the pressure isn’t on him
How great it would be if he did stay and persevered for a championship tho...
Hopefully next season is our year for the Angels 🙌 (yes ik we say this every year, but i really do feel it for next year)
Lmao if ur a rams fan that’s how a lot of lions felt about Stafford, and most of the fans were pretty happy that he finally got a ring, even tho it wasn’t with us
Hope he goes to the mariners
@@Matt-uz3dt i would rather die than that happen, no offense lol

I'm Canadian and I bought his jersey first day he came into the league. Suffered through my friends telling me he's a bust... Damn this guy is a beast
Same,honored to wear my t-shirt.(wish it was a jersey).
What do they say now? must be tasty eating their own words 😅
He's a unicorn. Understanding of never ending perfection to your craft coupled with a Jordan-esque obsession and competitive drive.
Very professional and sportsmanlike. He handles himself well.
A true role model for boys and girls across the globe.
I just hope he doesn't become a jerk by the end of his career. Jordan is the undisputed goat of basketball but dude is a piece of work post NBA career when he was actually like what you mentioned Ohtani early on in his career. I suppose being good as he was stroked his ego too much.
Dude's a legend in his sport, a real nice humble human, and he can pass as a model with his looks and height. Damn
Ohtani is the epitome of what dedication to your craft means.
@Regdu Geht I definitely got my eye on Judge and the history he’s making, but he’s not a more valuable player than Ohtani. How do you call yourself more valuable than a guy who’s your ace on the mound, and arguably your best hitter on the team aside from Trout? But, I will say it’s hard to call him the greatest athlete in the world when you got guys like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson. Who excelled at Football and Baseball at the highest level. Bo Jackson was even named an All-Star in 1989. But is he the greatest athlete in purely Baseball? I personally feel like there’s no debate he is.
@@SouthsideSox007 "In the world" meaning currently. Bo and Deion last played like 30 years go
Trout is a better hitter
@@suckysucky6708 LOL what does that have to do with the initial comment you dunce
This.
I’m not a big baseball guy but I am a Shohei guy. He’s a beast. I remember when he first came over a lot of people thought he would suck. Glad to see this level of greatness be achieved by seemingly such a good person.
Never underestimate someone with that much dedication I’m honestly really impressed
i’m in no way a baseball or MLB fan, i’ve heard about Otani but you really helped to put his impact in perspective and now i’m excited to keep up with his career! 🙏🏼
The craziest thing isn't that he's a 2-way player.....it's that he's elite at both....insane!
Shohei Ohtani gambled on himself by coming to MLB early. As of 2022, it is turning out to be a great move. He is universally known now as a baseball icon and he will command huge contract soon. He is on the path to being a legend. Stay healthy Shohei, baseball needs you. ⚾️
It was not a gamble for him because going to MLB was his plan ever since he was a child.
It becomes a gamble when you suddenly decide to do it.
@@wilburwood8261 He took the risk to be the first to use NBP's stupid 'posting system' to come to the MLB instead of waiting for overseas FA. He missed out 5 years of salary just to get to MLB early.
@@IchiroSakamoto There are many flaws in your comments. Many players have used NPBs posting system before. Waiting for overseas FA is not a risk, it is just a missed opportunity. You need to study things lol
He is already a legend
Ippei has my eternal gratitude as one of Ohtani's fans. He 'translated' to the coach Ohtani's injury during one of his games, which led to his benching, and later caused Ohtani to feel frustrated & depressed. Ippei made the decision because he understood that even if Ohtani still wanted to pitch, doing so would have resulted in considerably more damage.
Now he’s the hero of Japan and just closed out the WBC Final, Ohtani is one of a kind. I only hope that him and Trout can win a World Series since they deserve it, but their team’s incompetent management seems hell bent on stopping that by getting no other pieces for the team.
His coach from Nippon Ham Fighters swore that there would NEVER be a better baseball player than Ohtani…not only because of his talent but also because of his personality. He said Ohtani was the nicest, most respectful and humble human being there is….and there was absolutely NOTHING wrong about him.😂 That’s the reason why he is so loved by everyone in the world 🌎 ❤ Wishing him the best.💕💕💕
Ohtani is the person everyone should aspire to be.
A humble and cool guy. ❤️
@@AlexisReyess00a Hard working, charismatic, talented, a natural leader, responsible, who's a better person in sports?
He’s also obsessed with baseball. Talent + hard work + living a lifestyle to optimize his athleticism = someone reaching heights we will likely never see again in our generation
@@LovelessFascination
He gave his earnings to his parents most asians do, but they still buy for themselves, but Ohtani is different. I saw the things he bought in some of his interviews. He bought things for optimal sleeping and other things that will elevate his craft. This guy has a scary mindset on and off the field.
Isao Harimoto (who has the NPB career hit record) had it out for him from the beginning, this was a very “get off my lawn” moment from the “if you’re not tired by the time the game starts, you’re not working hard enough” generation in Japan
Harimoto is not even Japanese, he's an ethnic Korean
@@naturalthing1 kinda funny how some of the best "Japanese" baseball players are technically not Japanese (for example Kaneda Masaichi, Harimoto Isao, Oh Sadaharu)
@@sleepking669 actually there are many more...maybe over half are ethnic Koreans that have not "come out" or keeping secret.
Oh yeah. Most koreans will tell you it is because japanese are too small to compete with koreans.
@@naturalthing1
but isnt that most japanese? the "japanese" are a mixture of korean , manchurian, even chinese that over took the jomons during the yayoi period, and since have had constant immigrants from the asian mainland - esp koreans due the its proximity.
I'm not saying japanese and koreans are the same. im just saying if you go far back enough, a lot of japanese are "ethnically" korean
Shohei Ohtani... his pitches are heavenly, his strikeouts are holy, his homeruns can be heard from the heavens, and as if an angel coming to grace the earth, he has come to grace the world of baseball.
Seriously love this guy we should be grateful we are witnessing history 😮
They called him a selfish player? He’s the kindest soul in the MLB.
Japanese baseball is just way more team based then American baseball
Can’t shine without the haters.
@@isaackangas6921 wtf, baseball is one of the most individualistics team sport ever
@@hustlecoder1673 Its both, baseball is built on 1 on 1 matchups, yet a single player can only take 1/9th of the at bats or pitch once every 5 days, making it extremely team oriented.
@@pranavarora9976 yet its still most individualistic team sport ever. Basically Pitcher and catcher do 80% of work. And then 20% is done by other 7 players. Sometimes for whole game you dont even need to be on the field. And if we are talking about offense then again its individual against individual until you get on the base. In other team sports you need some chemistry, you need to know your teammates behavior to be more succesful. And i dont see it in baseball.
Shohei made me watch baseball again. What we’re watching from him is different and compelling. His pitching days are appointment television for me.
2023 3/22
Shohei proved to baseball fans around the world that he was the best baseball player in the world.
WBC was a match for Shohei Ohtani🎉
If you compare the all time stats Trout > Ohtani but yeah Ohtani right now is for sure the best
After all those injuries and he is back and better.. that's wild
He's just such a good guy. That what really makes him as a person and a player.
Absolutely amazing my man. Just totally puts him in perspective. I hope the Angels are able to put together a team around him & Trout. Would love to see those guys in post season action! Thanks for the vid.
Bro the second they get a good first baseman the angels will be legendary
@@kingswagger8300 Yeah man and they have a couple of good enough young guys over there that are developing such as Rengifo. They get that in addition to 1b & beefed up bullpen they can surely make a run. Once they clinch a spot in any way its all back to 0-0. I also think it would help to get Sandovals walk rate down in addition to another above average/ elite arm. If they cannot put it together they should be let go as a mercy move by the owner lolol It would be nothing short of a tragedy if Trout/Ohtani never sniff the post season.
@@kingswagger8300 lol no. They’d need more pitching and some lineup depth
@@alexbenton6306
Yep. Their rotation, even right now, is actually pretty alright, but the bottom half of the lineups they’re currently rolling out are absolutely _horrifying._
I'm a basketball, martial arts, and soccer fan. This video though really made me happy to see. It was easy to follow and put into perspective Ohtani's great talent.
The guy is an exceptional and gifted athelete, breaking the mould by being a 2 way player, looking and acting like a giddy manchild and being insanly humble and polite.
The guy is a true role model and a beautiful human being.

You're right because Ichiro is related to Kobe Bryant but Ohtani is related to Michael Jordan!

Wow he is actually inspiring. I didn’t even know dedication to this level was possible.
What a legend! Turning down so much money to follow his dream and passion! Ohtani is the GOAT!
To think Ohtani seems like the nicest most humble human being in all of professional sports after everything he has already and is still accomplishing.

This guy , Shohei Othani is the reason why I quit Cricket and started watching and loving Baseball ⚾
Be like Shohei and do both lol
Be Like Shohei and do both from a cricket and new baseball fan !
Can't imagine..
That's hilarious.
In Cricket one can find
All rounders who bats , bowl and fields well , Cricket produced world class allrounders who will bat at the crease for very long time , who would bowl in match winning performances by taking wickets unlike baseball who would bowl the ball by rotating the arms in 360 degree manner and while delivering the ball he would straighten the arms to deliver the ball in generating speed of 150km to 160km but whereas in baseball a pitcher merely throws the by bending the arms in generating speed which is not a achievement at all as throwing a ball by bending the arms is an easy or inherent feature of an human being but bowling by straightining the arms while delivering the ball in cricket is a difficult art ,
An all-rounder in cricket who would field in every position to stop and catch the ball without wearing any gloves like in baseball.
Cricket produced world class allrounders like Gary Sobers , Ian Botham, Imran Khan , Kapil Dev , Richard Hadlee , Flintoff,Ben Stokes and Jack Kallis etc who excelled in both bat and ball and were a good fielders.
A person who knows very well about cricket will never ever relinquish cricket for any other game .
wow glad i bumped into your channel very good content just started following baseball thankyou~
Everyone loves Ohtani not just because his skills but it's geniunely so fun watching him have fun playing baseball
He was blessed with good timing and opportunity. His older brother had longed to join Little League when he was in elementary school, but his parents were so busy with work at the time that they could not afford to grant his wish. His father regretted this and gave Shohei the opportunity to play baseball early on so that he would not make the same mistake. His parents still feel sorry for Shohei's older brother. Successful person is also blessed with good timing and opportunity. That may be what we call fate.
You failed to mention that his own father never believed he could make it to the majors which was something that Shohei disagreed on at an early age.🤷♀️
There is way more people who are blessed with good timing and opportunity, Shohei is a beast.
Wild.
Precisamente. De hecho, hay estudios sobre ello, el libro "Fuera de Serie" de Malcon Gladwel trata el asunto.
OK, if you and I had good timing and opportunity we can be just like Ohtani. wow lol
I love his humbleness
We need an updated video now, after the WBC win.
He’s just built different. Two pretty much injure free seasons putting up all star caliber stats on both pitching/batting. I’m glad that I got to see him play in person last two seasons because I probably won’t see that from anyone else in my lifetime.
With Shohei extraordinary performance on 2021 season and 2022 season, that 3.5M contract was an absolute steal for the Angels.

Their farm system is not producing with no one of any note getting promoted for next year.

We don't have baseball in my country. Recently I discovered this sport. I was amazed when whole crowd in Toronto was booing Othani, he replied with a home run. I am in love with this guy ❤️🎉
What country are you from? I am from California and I saw him play last night. He is very talented.
Guy is in my top 5 and him and Trout alone make watching the angels worthwhile and enjoyable. He's a class act, a hell of a talent, and an overall good dude.
Got to do an internship in Tempe where the Angels play spring ball and he is absolutely the nicest human alive. Him and Ippe have a bond that is inseparable and the Japanese media had 5x the amount of domestic media at the stadium. Was quite the pleasure to see him up close.

Never and probably never will be a big baseball fan. As of late though Jomboy and this channel has enlightened me to the amazing game of baseball. After seeing this video Shoheis greatness’s is definitely something to behold. I’ll certainly be watching the Angels from here on out.
oh boy. if u do that youll lose interest in baseball real quick. The Angels are a cursed franchise, in the past 8 years they have had half the AL MVP awards (3 for Mike Trout and 1 for Ohtani), yet outside of those 2 they suck to the point they only been to the playoffs once in that time span and were knocked out in the first round. This year is also the same. its believed that ohtani will either be traded during the off season/next season or leave the team in free agency at the end of the season b/c the team is so bad.
Hate to break to you but despite having the 2 best players in the sport and a couple other big names, the Angels are terrible. Mike Trout (a future lock for the Hall of Fame in his own right) has been in the league for 11 years and has only been to the playoffs once in 2014.
just watch the games when shohei pitch or his other highlights. you cant watch full games of Angels without scratching your head
I hope you'll enjoy watching TWO generational talents, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani playing for the losing Angels 😇
Nobody has ever been so successful and talented at both parts of baseball. Ohtani 100% deserves this title as The Greatest Athlete In the World

The worship is insane. And I don’t even watch baseball!
Your vids are so well made. Also shohei ohtani is the goat
I don’t think people comprehend how crazy it is that he plays two positions. It’s not just being a really good athlete. This video helps a little bit most people may be in awe of him but still don’t even understand how crazy he is.
people don't comprehend? Judge is having the most dominate offensive season we have seen in decades yet you lap riders stay drooling over Ohtani
@@SRM110 you're comparing an off and on hitter to an elite hitter and pitcher g t f o h boy!!!😀
Ohtani is the easy mvp and it's not close if people were rational
@@SRM110 didn’t say anything about Judge dude. Just said people don’t comprehend how much work Ohtani puts in to do what he does. But yeah stay lap riding and drooling over judge when the conversation has nothing to do with him.
@@SRM110 Judge managed to hit a few homeruns, after the yankees got juiced baseballs. Completely crashed in the post-season. Guy is barely good enough to wipe Ohtani's shoes...
Only makes me mad how MLB doesn’t advertise this man even more and help the game grow..
He's a class act, I like it that he doesn't walk around telling everyone that he's the GOAT.
5:02 You couldn’t script this coach’s reaction any better 😂😂
Ohtani is one of those athletes that changes his sport maybe not necessarily in the present, but 5, 10, even 15 years in the future. I fully expect to see teams slowly start to pack their rosters with 2 way players within the next decade, and I think it'll be feasible as I fully expect kids to start training as 2 way players BECAUSE of Ohtani. Also, doesn't hurt that he's pretty much a freak of nature xD
You'll see more teams open to it and more people try it but I doubt we see anyone like this again
Michael Lorenzen BEGGED the reds to let him play both ways. They even used him as a defensive replacement and let him start some games in center field a few years ago in September.
Lorenzen is now on the Angels and no longer wants to do both bc he said there no way he can put in the work on both sides Ohtani does.
Yeah, he's going to be like Steph Curry was, but for baseball. Just going to totally change the game, and inspire a completely new breed of players in the next generation.
@@asimpletuneSteph curry showed that you don’t need the size to be ultra competitive in a sport. Ohtani is a freak of nature and even his body was breaking down.
@@davidk4082 what? curry popularised the 3
I think what everyone is forgetting is that he’s a major cutie. Dude is downright adorable aside from his baseball prowess
@Bread and Circuses 1. Women exist and 2. Women platonically compliment other women all the time, yet there’s such a stigma around guys doing it and 3. If they are so what?
@Bread and Circuses Never go on r/baseball my friend, every Ohtani post there has at least 10 guys (understandably) questioning their sexuality
@@absterps lmaoo
@@DeepfriedBeans4492 As a guy, looking at other guys is kind of like looking at trees. I can tell they look different if they're beside each other, but I have no idea which one is better looking.
3:41 I get that, some times i felt like was practing while trying to sleep, i could feel the pain of muscles contracting. And if you just do one thing you dream with it
First time really hearing about him, how good he is. That’s amazing, he’s amazing. Great video, it communicates the message very well
I've been struggling as an angels fan, the owner, our record, and only Mike Trout kept me there because I want him to succeed, Ohtani became the anchor and I really want him to succeed either way because he is that good and his potential (which he basically met) is legendary material
Ohtani is absolutely incredible, one of the most amazing athletes that has ever lived.
You Americans are crazy. He is not even top 5000 best athletes now 😄 Baseball is trash sport
that was before Wembayama & Clark in Basketball...but he's already an active living legend... glad to be able watch such incredible generational talents in different sports.
Shohei Ohtani iconic legend makes Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Messi ...... all look tiny compared to him.
That totally BS
Lmaoap dat dude made a super team in LA. Goat my ass 🤣
Who tf is ohtani?I bet when messi won the wc all Japan celebrated if messi goes to Japan people will flock to see him and if ohtani goes south America he will be just like another Chinese guy
You have single-handidly made me somewhat interested in baseball, and I had virtually none before. Keep up the amazing work.
The birth of an all time great, living legend has happened right before our eyes everyone, this is history
great vid
Great job!
Thanks once again for a fascinating video. Getting inside Ohtani's head and seeing where this drive comes from was really interesting. I do wonder how long he can keep this pace up, and will he recognize when it is time to dial it back or will we see a flame out.
Just wanna say this Channel is the reason I started watching Baseball. You are an awesome entry point, keep up the great work!
Your vids are fire 🔥
Love to see an athlete that fully lives for it
Absolute legend
Thank you for content
Thank you for content
@@greasyystrangler8914 Thank you for content
Gotta give him the credit he's unreal and as a CWS fan I love watching his highlights
I've watched ballplayers from every era....SHOHEI EASILY BEST PLAYER IVE EVER SEEN and really one of the best HUMANS as well.... totally jealous plz stay healthy you Paul Bunyan type legend
I got to watch him in Anaheim last year against the Sox, he had an off game and his skill was still so obvious. Remarkable athlete.
