There Will Never Be Another Shohei Ohtani

- Shohei Ohtani (大谷 翔平) is the biggest superstar in Major League Baseball in 2023, and ever since he picked up a baseball, it was clear that he was born to play. However, he's also been described as "risky," "injury prone," and "selfish," and his journey to stardom was not as easy as it may seem.

He’s not selfish. He’s laser focused on his goals. It’s that simple.
in fact, he donated most of his winnings from the home run derby to the angel's staff. He's the opposite of selfish, he just loves baseball.
he just wants to win and idk how thats a bad thing
Your statement doesn't rebut the point at all. If the goals he's focused on are selfish goals, then he would still be selfish.
@@puckerings literally every athlete is selfish! They’re working to take a limited spot from someone else, that’s the point of competitive sports.
@@thechikuwa284 you’re full of shit lol. He apologizes when he hits people with a pitch, laughs and jokes with other players, and cheers on his teammates. He’s certainly competitive, but you 100% made most of that up.
Funny how they called him selfish, yet he nearly always gives 110% and often hard carries the team
He even pick up other people's trash.
He is by wanting to be a two way player
I’m my 50 years loving baseball, witnessing a player like Shohei is once in a life time, he’s doing things that have never been done in MLB in 100 years, that’s a century, which means he’s a one in a life time player, I enjoy watching this young man play and the fact that he plays for the love of the game makes him even more valuable. No matter what he chooses to do, where to go, win or lose I will keep watching him play makes the game a lot more fun to watch with a lot of nerve racking 😅
Babe Ruth did it, and did it better. But I agree, once in a lifetime. He's not the first.
@@foobarmaximus3506 no he didn't, he only played two way for a few seasons and the quality of players has increased since then
He Lebron James pretty much
@@kourosh5971Ruth pitched 10 years. 1221 innings. Ohtani has been in the league half that and isn't on pace to pitch as many innings as Ruth in a 10 year span. As the man said Ruth didn't better. Batting Average, HR's and ERA.
@@hnglmccrnglbrry1637 its 2023, most players have way better skillset than what babe ruth played against with 100 years ago. he played with bums lol
He has no girlfriend and spends 12 hours sleeping to rest on the day off. Using advanced technology and techniques to keep his body on check. He's a smart, humble, and hardworking person. He just focuses on what he needs to do as a baseball player. That's why he is the best out there. If other players want to surpass him, then they should fix their mindset and take this sport seriously.
All they need to do is stay healthy. Shohei Coligaro seems to break down a lot.
He doesn't like girls.
He is anything but humble. He is a self-centered, arrogant prick.
He has a wife
The best part is pretty obvious that he enjoys playing baseball with smiles. I really want to see him smiling in the world series
His smile make my heart beat. 😍❤️
That will never happen. Because no winning team is going to give him the spotlight that he craves so much. Winning is a team effort. He can't do that.
The best part?
He's having an even better season RIGHT NOW
Not now. *laughs hard.*
@@matthewhenningervonada9914and MVP😂
@@Kkkka-xh4xn So. On a crappy organization. Babe Ruth formerly had the record for most shutout innings in the world series.
@@matthewhenningervonada9914 so both of them are great. It's natural.
@@matthewhenningervonada9914babe ruth era is weak. compared now . if babe ruth played in this era he would be average.
Just a fact check, Ichiro won MVP in 2001 in his rookie year
But was he a 2 way player tho
@@ThaOriginalGangsta77this in response to the claim that obtain was the first Japanese player to win mvp.
yeah idk how he misses that one
Ichiro is also one of a kind. To see another Shohei or Ichiro means someone else would need to have the manic-obsession for baseball those two have and no matter how talented Japanese baseball players are, very few possess that mentality.
Ohtani 100x better than Ichiro, On the way to winning 2x MVP.
You may compare Shohei to Ichiro, but even Ichiro did predict when he retired, that Shohei "has to" be the number 1 baseball player in the world with the two-way talent.
I wanted Hideki Kuriyama, who was the manager of Nippon Ham Fighters, to be highlighted here. He negotiated with Ohtani and his father to play in NPB as a two way player. As Ohtani was then expecting to start his career as only a pitcher, not a batter, the two way player would not have emerged without Mr. Kuriyama. His accomplishment deserves a huge credit and Japanese baseball fans were all excited to see reunite of Ohtani and the manager Kuriyama at WBC this year.
It is not difficult to fight a Ham. They don't hit back.
@@foobarmaximus3506 You're a ham. You're just saltier than most.
Thanks for this. I did hear it mentioned during the final game between USA and Japan in the WBC (by commentators), but I didn't remember. What was remarkable (perhaps even staged by destiny.. ahem), was the final matchup between Mike and Shohei.
ALL of Japan, wherever they Could watch, saw that final pitch of legendary victory. Only the places where they were allowed to drink, did it hit the Roof. If this was in reverse, you know some super fans in the US would have torn the roof Off!
Destiny brought Ohtani to American MLB, and Kuriyama was his mentor, and Catalyst, that allowed this to happen. Arigato Kuriyama Sama! 🙏
Ohtani lives and breathes baseball ⚾️
Dude has to be one of the most perfect humans to ever live. He even has a flawless baby face on a tall, perfect athletic yet not bulky body. Has a calm demeanor but, isn’t a stiff. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s an alien, tbh.
Ohtani combines the physical gifts with the work ethic required for true greatness. Having people both physically gifted and dedicated to the craft is rarer than you think
Personally, my favorite thing about Ohtani is that he seems to be a normal person, even though he is an outstanding player.
Goatani is legendary. In 100 years no one remembers who wins these World Series. Everyone only remembers Ohtani.
For being Tony Coligaro 2.0. Great talent, that got injured bad. BABE RUTH will be more remembered.
@@matthewhenningervonada9914 he has already surpassed Ruth and done what Ruth said is impossible. Don’t be stupid.

@@matthewhenningervonada9914eh. old head bias
@@mateo02_ Fair, but I'm a 20 year old.
Enjoy him while he's still playing and dominating. He's a once in a lifetime player...
Shohei is a player I would've created on a video game never to believe that this caliber of player would actually exist.
It's not only Ohtani has talent and work hard on his dream, but he was in luck in Japan to meet a team that let's him do 2 ways, then another MLB team who's willing to let him do what he does, with all the criticism and ups and downs, he proves himself and become the legend today.
I don't think there will be another Ohtani, not that many professional team is willing to put up to that, they will think of the team first not player's personal wish and achievement.
But with Ohtani being the pioneer on 2 ways in modern professional baseball and creating a huge investment return, I think at certain degrees it might motivate MLB teams to start thinking of build another Ohtani.
I think one more important thing this video failed to mention is Ohtani sleeps a lot, and it starts when he was little like 6th grade or something, he has a lot of stamina and he always pushed it to the fullest then rest to the fullest. Even to this day, he still have a strict sleeping schedule, he also study on how to improve his sleep quality, his daily is filled with training, game, eats and sleeps, and that's it, that's how he's able to pull it off.
In America, I don't believe any players can do that. A young professional player who's doing above average in his 20s just sleep through his free time? No, he will be banging a lot of girls. That's why I don't think there will be another Ohtani, especially in America nowadays, most of young audiences like to watch NBA not MLB, kids under this kind of influence and environment growing up is very unlikely to be truly loving baseball, not to the point where he choose 100% baseball over women and money, and Ohtani is just different on that, that's why he's able to make everything works
あなたは、大谷をよく理解されていますね。
おっしゃる通りだと思います。
He’s not lucky he found a team in Japan that let him do both ways, he made the team let him. He was going to go to USA UNLESS they let him play 2 ways, and they wanted him so much they allowed him to do that and also have a contract that can be terminated at any point he wants to go to MLB.
@@kaminoriki 大谷の幼少期を翻訳した台湾の映画があるのですが、それを観た後、今でも神様のような存在だと感じています。
@@greenhat7618 true, but still luck, there's still a chance that Ham Fighters would've let him go, Japanese team can be very tough on their players, they were being very tough on Hideo Nomo(野茂英雄) before with his attitude, if he didn't insist, NPB wouldn't fix their system and rules and let many other talented Japanese players go to MLB, he was the pioneer and the person who made history for modern Japanese baseball.
Ohtani is pretty much the same, he has his reason to do so, he insists and he wins the negotiation with his capability.
Whatever happened to Hideo Nomo could've happened to Ohtani if it's wrong team, but he's in luck, Ham Fighters wants him bad and agree to his terms, at least they have and show a good will to Ohtani's decision.
If Ohtani is not in luck, he might just landed in MLB right after high school, then being forced to play hitter or pitcher by the team, since no one has play 2 ways baseball in MLB for nearly a century, MLB will for sure not to let him do so. We all have seen how many doubts coming from MLB after Ohtani starts playing 2 way in Angels, and that's even after he won championship in NPB to prove himself. If he just come to MLB straight off from high school, there is no way MLB would let a foreign high schooler play like that just because he's got talent and per his request.
So in my opinion, Ohtani is talented but also very lucky meeting the right team right people at right time.
Ohtani is literally the god in baseball
Just make it clear that he was convinced by Nippon ham fighters staying in Japan because they will train him to be a two way player. It’s not what you said in the video about he knowing he’s gonna spend years in minors.
If he chooses to directly play in USA at age of 18, he’s gonna be trained only as a pitcher. The scouts and trainers in the US are lack of visions
@@averagebaseballyes, you're wrong. You are quite inaccurate in the video.
Its either that or the all the other teams in the NPB considered Ohtani just a Batter, either way yes the Nippon-Han fighters CONVINCED Ohtani to stay in Japan and be the two-way star that he is now. I remembered they(Nippon-Ham) presented Ohtani with a Powerpoint presentation to convince him to stay and be molded as he is now. In the afformentioned powerpoint it detailed how the NHF will make him into the one of if not the greatest 2-way player.
The Nippon-Ham fighters took a risk on Shohei and it paid of with them winning the title on Ohtani's mvp year in the NPB
non MLB ≠ Minor League
The first Japanese-born MVP player is Ichiro
He won the AL MVP in 2001
Good video to remind us it was Ohtani's 4th year to truly dominate in both ways after the seemed promised rookie season. We sort of get used to his ridiculous dominance nowadays. I believed his talent before 2021, but still found it a pity that he couldn't perform it then, I supported him either way.
His passion to baseball brings back so many baseball fans including myself. That's his true value.
Shohei Ohtani has become a league on his own ...and becoming a leader of the band.
I think it's not being selfish but rather he has boundaries. His goals are his priorities. He doesn't look like a people pleaser, his mental ability inspite of huge media and fans around him is incredible.
How am I just learning about this guy? He’s a once in a lifetime athlete.
Shohei should have won the MVP the last 2 years in a row, he had the greatest season ever in 2021, did even better in 2022, and this year he's so far ahead of everyone else that no one can realistically hope to catch him even if he sits out the final month. The dude is clearly the best baseball player ever. The ONLY player who's even close to him in terms of pure baseball greatness is his teammate Mike Trout, and unfortunately they are being held back by the Angels terrible business and personnel and training decisions. I kinda want Ohtani to stay with the Angels, because having both him and Trout would make the Angels are very attractive destination for any player in free agency, IF the Angels decide to actually bite the bullet and give deals that players will actually sign instead of offering them table scraps and wondering why no one signs. I'd say I wish he'd come to the Orioles, but they'd manage to ruin him somehow so maybe I shouldn't hope for that...but IF they could not ruin him I wish he'd come out this way so I can watch him in person more often. Just like I do when Trout and he currently come to town I go to the games just to watch the best players play.
Was it due to racism?
"First Japanese born player to win MVP"
Ichiro bro
Usually shohei was game focused (has been since he made several trips to operation room in the past years), now in 2023 he is having the most fun in the dugout with the guys.
ohtani is him.
star man of his team, league, sport, and world sports in general
Plot twist, Ohtani is actually a robot created by the Japanese. Anime MC brought to life.
Hahaha...a robot named Ohtani is the GOAT in the history of Major League Baseball..."I second the motion"...
You are definitely gonna have hundreds of thousands of subscribers
You can see his strength and conditioning improve every year, he's now the perfect mix of power and speed.
Shohei is baseball. His dedication to the sport is unmatched by anyone in any sport. The dude doesn't care about anything but being the best player ever. It's crazy to think that there is someone that can potentially win the cy young and batting title in the same year.
best player of all time 💗
Half correct on the minor league aspect part of the story. The Hokkaido Fighters manager, Kuriyama (and the 2023 Samurai Japan manager for the WBC) drafted him despite Ohtani asking not to be drafted. The Fighters then prepared a presentation to show Ohtani to show him how terrible MiLB was (at the time) and how no team would allow him to pursue his 2-way player dream, but the Fighters would.
It's amazing how he's doing this in the modern game.
For those who discredit Ohtani, and talk of how the old game was harder, I wanna see how past hall of famers like Ruth and DiMaggio would do against modern day MLB with this velocity, power and most of all, a talent pool including hispanics, Japanese, and most of all negros, that were forced to play in a seperate league because they were too athletic.
Negro League didn't exist because MLB thought the players were too good; quite the opposite. Blacks were considered inferior not superior.
Maybe not another Ohtani but we will be seeing more 2-way players seeing it's possible. There's already a few in major college baseball. One on Florida who is their 3rd rotation pitcher and lead the nation in home runs.
Humans are incredible! No matter where you are on planet earth. A generational athlete will rise. I love humanity.
About "selfish"
Ichiro was also criticized for the same words.same as Ohtani.
But I want to talk about what Ichiro and Otani have in common.
In 1995, the city of Kobe was hit by a huge earthquake, killing 6,000 people.
In 1996, Kobe's baseball team won the Japan Series. Ichiro was part of that team and a symbol of victory.
In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred. 18,000 died.
It happened in Otani's hometown. In that area Otani is a symbol of recovery.
They know how many people are watching their backs.
And they know what the audience wants.
"Hero"
Ichiro has always been "Ichiro" in the stadium.
Ohtani continues to challenge.
It is different from "selfish".
another great baseball channel
Dude was depressed after his TJ surgery damn that's sad. His 2023 season is heating up already 🔥
He's one of those historical athletes that literally redefines a sport. Like Bo Jackson, or Steph Curry making half court shots.
What did Bo Jackson do to redefine baseball? Or did you mean football?
Hey man, what I’m about to say is not empty encouragement at all. I’m serious when I say that you are EASILY going to have 100,000 subscribers with the quality of videos that you are producing. The most important thing at this point is just continuing to produce at a consistent rate. Don’t let up on the production rate (or even increase the rate if possible), and you’ve got this in the bag.
Two stats summarize Ohtani's skill and uniqueness: his career ERA+ is 143, meaning he is 43% better than the average major league pitcher (120 puts you in All Star territory), and his career OPS+ is 146, meaning he is also 46% better than the average major league hitter.
You've fallen for a common pitfall. Because OPS+ is additive, having an OPS+ of 146 means you're about 23% better than the average major league hitter. If your OBP is 23% better than average, and your SLG is 23% better than average, your OPS+ will be 146, not 123. If you were 46% better in both, your OPS+ would be 192. They could have formulated it so OPS+ can be read as a percentage as you do here (and almost everyone else does as well), but they did not. I've never been able to understand why.
Ohtani's current numbers are almost as good as Bullet Rogen's career numbers. He has a career ERA+ of 161 (career record of 120-52) and a career OPS+ of 152. He didn't have Ohtani's power, but hit .338 for his career, and played over 2,000 defensive innings at a position other than pitcher (Ohtani has 8 career innings in the outfield).
Gosh where was I years ago that I sleep on this GOAT player..I wish Id knew him back then so that Id be able to watch him play in person.
Something that wasn’t mentioned in the video was that the Nippon Ham Fighters were so desperate to keep Ohtani in Japan that they gave him the power to void his contract with them at ANYTIME so that he could go to the MLB whenever he felt like it. That’s unheard of
If you are interested in shohei Ohtani, I recommend reading "9x9, 81-square strategic matrix" he wrote when he was 16 years old high school boy. In it, he describes his own goals as a baseball player at the age of 16, the eight keywords for each of the eight challenges he faced, and the eight goals he had to overcome to achieve them.
In addition to specific issues to be solved to improve his pitching skills, the book also describes his mental strength, body building to become a professional, and human goals, as well as the specific solutions he came up with on his own plan.
Frankly, I am amazed that a 16-year-old boy thought of this on his own, and also amazed at the level of baseball education in Japan that allowed him to write this himself and actually made him put it into practice on his own.
And I am amazed that everything he says and does now as a major league player is connected to each element of this scenario.
Please read it once. Because you will see the real, true picture of Shohei.
He is blessed with natural qualities and DNA, but it was his own willpower to analyze weakpoint of himself, set his direction, and practice self-improvement that made him as the great player he is today.
In other words, even his current well-endowed body is the result of his own training, his own diet, and his own body modification plan which he has spent the past 12 years from 16 building into a large body and his mental strength.
Part of this plan was already written on his goal sheet at the age of 16.
This is an incredible and astonishing fact, but it is true!
Rather than marveling at him and evaluating him as good or bad, I think it is more important to understand the reality of what he has done and overcame himself to become the man he is today.
I believe that everything is not a coincidence and that there are reasons and causes for the facts that happened.
Maybe you can find out why he is not playing baseball for money and what his real goals are, who he is, after reading it.
I want to dislike this video for the sole reason of calling him “selfish” but I won’t because I appreciate you making an Ohtani topic video, people need to understand we are witnessing a once in a life time freak athlete . Keep up the good work bro, love ur videos
There will probably also never be another Ichiro Suzuki. Ichiro might be the best light hitter ever(or the best contact hitter ever) while ohtani might be the best heavy hitter ever(or the hardest hitter ever). The skill sets of Ichiro and Ohtani are just awesome!
Honestly when Ohtani was still in NPB people considered him mostly a pitcher. I don’t think most people saw him competing with the likes of Judge for HRs back then.
Ohtani. Freak athlete, greatest baseball player, nice dude and he’s even good looking. What else?
Judge couldn't even hold Ohtani's jock strap. Ohtani is the best player MLB has ever seen.
Id love to see Ohtani in the playoffs and world series. What he is doing on the mound and at the plate isnt getting enough viewership and coverage. This 2023 season may be the best season in anyone ever had in the MLB.
Awesome video! No doubt your subscribers will grow.
We Americans love Japans baseball players...good role models and great players and good hearts...
Real life Goro Shigeno
No doubt one of the best. That's what you call "built different".
I don't think he would have gotten the love he gets from Angels fans on a different team. Even when they're on a 7 loss streak, the stands are still full of people shaking the stadium with cheers for him. I even got to witness my first grand slam last Friday from him, disappointing that they somehow still managed to lose though. 😅
I won't say "never." Just like how Babe Ruth changed baseball forever, I think Shohei will have a similar impact. Teams will be willing to try more two-way players (and more players will be willing to try being two-way players). So maybe we'll see another Shohei in 100 years.
Gets better every Season. Man is half a God😎
He's a real life Goro Shigeno
Ohtani is now 29 years old, how many years left his prime career can go?
love him so much
Great video but some context about his 2020 season would be good. His knee surgery was to correct a birth defect (he was born with 2 kneecaps) and his 2020 season was mediocre because he had no proper rehab and minor league starts due to covid. Back then as soon as they threw him into the fire and make him pitch against major league teams right away I knew it wasn't going to look good.
You could argue all players will look like him in 20,30 years having to play both ways if it becomes a trend.
I think there could be plenty of Ohtanis if america changes it's approach to baseball. Think about it, a great talented high school athlete is a good pitcher and happens to be a good hitter too and what happens? his coach tells him if he wants to make it to the big league he has to dedicate his pursuit to one craft, either batting/fielding or pitching.
Such good editing and quality dood
The editing is good, however what's with the way he ends his sentences? It reminds me of sunnyv2, it's kind of irritating.
@@kami_1789 yeah but there are hundreds of channels with sunny v2 editing styles, and those are the most entertaining! He does it for a reason
They think and want to duplicate what shoei is doing but he’s unique just like how no one is going to match ichiro’s records or uniqueness either, idk how long shoheis career may last bc of his heavy workload but it’s obvious he’s had the greatest seasons in the history of the game NO DOUBT I don’t care what the critics or naysayers say about that either, I know the truth
I believe that Ohtani is so precious that when he mistakenly hits a batter, the batter walks up to the mound and hugs him to console him.❤🤭❤❤❤
Ohtani is a freak for real and is the REAL goat of baseball, period. However, I do not see him playing that long, though, so he needs to get that ring, now. However, his market is limited because a team has to be in a position to win now and be willing to pay him $40+ million a year? It would suck if he ended his career without a ring.
The main reason why he did not go to the MLB straight out of high school was not because he will play in the minors. But because the Japanese team would allow him to pitch and hit. As well as a few other things. I say this because he wrote out his goals while in high school and the first three goals were, Age 18. sign with an MLB team, Age 19. Master English and reach AAA, Age 20. Get called up to the Majors and make 13mill USD. Oh, and the Japanese team also allowed him to leave to the Majors whenever he wanted. So he could have played one year and bounced if he really wanted to. At the time Major League teams only wanted him for his pitching, and Ohtani really wanted to do both. And that was not going to happen if he went straight to the Major Leagues at the time.
I'm like a lot of people, if the video says Ohtani, I'm watching it--NEVER seen anyone say Ohtani is selfish.
it was Isao Harimoto. He called Ohtani “selfish” and “childish,” same person who said that he was “taking away at bats from real players” in Japan
@@averagebaseball
Thank you for the wonderful video.I have something to write about Mr. Harimoto.
Mr. Harimoto makes such statements because he is not honest, but that is often not what he really means.
Also, it is difficult because there are some parts where such words and actions are required."
By the way, he is supporting Otani quite a bit now lol. In fact, he did the same thing to Ichiro."
@@averagebaseball Yeah, that’s true, Harimoto certainly old-school.
1:37 He had a .322 batting average and 22 home runs in fewer at-bats.
I wonder how it feels to continuously prove everyone wrong year after year.
I'm sure there will be because he set a new standard and people will aspire to be like him
When I listen to statements like, at 6:24, he said: "... and became the first Japanese-born player to win the MVP"... Ishiro is forgotten so quickly
Showing Babe Ruth and Ohtani side by side shows how unique being a two way is, but also shows that anyone can play baseball
Real life Shigeno Goro ⚾🔥
mio fratello
I love otahni. I really want him to go to my team(the Astros) but the Astros are super cheap so there’s no chance we’re gonna pay 500 mil for 1 player
If you get ohtani, 90% of japan will buy astros jersey virtually making truckloads of money right there.
Not only that Astros will be forever linked w the best athletes ever. Who do you think about when someone mentions Babe Ruth? No money can buy that
They can just cheat, why need Ohtani? Just so his name got spelled as "otahni" by someone who claims love him?
Very nice video, but, please try not to mix Japan with Hong Kong downtown scenes. There are tons of scenic or ordinary town view materials of Tokyo or even his native Miyagi.
Ohtani is baseball.
Single handedly holding down baseball😂
Real life Shigeno Goro
i wonder what it would be like if japanese professional baseball was incorperated into the mlb.
Baseball is boring cousin of golf but I started to watch and appreciate it because of this man. Even if you remove baseball he's pretty likable
He had about 9 WAR total in 2021, which is a great season, but not the best ever. Ruth and Bonds best seasons were 12+. But he is on pace for that in 2023.
Before his injury, he was on pace for 12.4. Excluding pitchers, only Ruth had higher. He has 3 years straight of 9 or better. Aaron never had 3 nines in his entire 23 year career.
Ichiro has already said Ohtani is obake...a monster, not of this world.
0:40 This scene is not Japan, is China, and 0:40 ~ is not 90's, is 80's or 70's.
Selfish? Who said that? Never heard anyone said that about Ohtani.
I find it very selfish to claim Ohtani as a selfish person.
@@rebirthanddeathmetal5432 Ohtani was suggested by kuriyama to try for 2 way player with full support from fighters. This is why he changed his mind and stayed in Japan. There were many who supported this idea from the beginning and also many against it. Nothing selfish about it.
I understand your points, and I don't doubt Ohtani's talent, but baseball players have always been getting better and changing the sport in big ways. Pitchers are getting better, throwing pitches with more movement and spin. Fastballs are getting faster. Hitters pay more attention to launch angle than 2 decades ago, hitting more homeruns and increasing exit velocity. And more recently with Ohtani demonstrating that it can be done, two way players are appearing across the minor leagues as the ultimate utility men. So while I think it will certainly be a while before anyone even comes close to matching Ohtani, I have no doubt that someone will eventually surpass him (barring world ending circumstances). The human body does have a limit, but no way in hell we've reached it yet.
PS: Have a like and subscribe for the well made and thoughtful video.
Ohtani and trout are 2 of the only players of all time who for some reason do not have to preform in the playoffs to be labeled "all time greats" you dont even have to win the chip but could they atleast make the playoffs??
“First Japanese player to win MVP”
…except Ichiro won it 20 years prior…
🦄🐐
Good job, but you should work on limiting vocal fry when you end an utterance.
the way u state ohtani's stay in Japan as if it was all his decision to suddenly decide to be a two-way player...
He's one of the fastest runners on the LA Dodgers!!! Think about that!! Pitching, Running, Hitting, Fielding... Freak...
And he is just entering his prime
Did you say that he was the first Japanese to win MVP? I believe that honor goes to Ichiro Suzuki.
Come on boys we gotta be better everyday
I can't wait till 2025 to see him pitch! He'll hit next season i guess.
Never say never
as someone who grew up playing now draft eligible pitchers . The ones who are nba level height can rake, cause they were prolly a first basemen.
