      I was reminded of the 30 for 30 "You Don't Know Bo" where the guy talks about the sound of the bat when Bo Jackson hit the ball. The guy had heard all of the greats since the 40s, and said he hadn't heard that sound for 20+ years.

    Many of those HRs were mammoth, and the opposing team's broadcaster had to exclaim about them with awe. That HR off the catwalk in Tropicana Field was incredible, and roughly equalled by the HR way up into the upper boxes of T-Mobile Park. Ohtani has so much power in such a smooth, quick, explosive swing that is beautiful to watch.

    7:26 that was my favorite homerun of the year. That was like a perfect-perfect for that location. That was when he was locked in like no other. If he can get back to that level of being locked in and hold onto it, he can be an 1.100 ops guy or even better. You can’t pitch to him when he’s hitting balls like that.
