It’s so easy to be amazed by Shohei’s sliders that we almost forget he throws 100+ mph gas
90+mph split and 100mph sinker
100+ gas pitchinh and 110+ exit velocity batting 💀
He doesn't even throw his FB that much...Right now he's at 50-65% sliders, cutters, and sweepers.
He saves 100+ till the runners get to scoring position.
It's amazing to see him shifts to another gear when that happens.
@@funkya1840 He really doesn't...When it's a big moment it's that sweeper. It's that good of a pitch when you throw that instead of a 100 mph heater. I recently saw him pitch vs the Mariners and the dude threw sweepers every time he got crunched. Hitters knew it was coming and couldn't do anything.
Ohtani’s splitter was the best pitch 2021
Ohtani slider was the best last season
Ohtani’s sweeper is the new best pitch in mlb
This guy will Perfect every pitch known to man by the time he’s done with baseball
It’s crazy that he’s still evolving as a pitcher and he’s already so elite!! 🔥🔥
cant wait for knuckleball
@@abcdeeer I was just about to say that...
If I could save comments lol too bad this aint reddit
i know everyone calls shohei the goat but i just got into baseball recently and its so beautiful to watch such a player, even beyond the stats there is no other player u can watch play in every inning its beautiful
I've always absolutely loved Ohtani's curveball and it gets a big pop from me every time he brings it out. I was grinning ear to ear when he threw it this game
Pitchng Ninja is the MVP on CZcams!!!
thanks mr. dover. lol
It's cool to see Ohtani notching another "Hey, look who I just surpassed" in his belt. Lot of comparisons to Babe Ruth in baseball, surprisingly few to The Ryan Express.
It’s kind of unique how Ohtani has games where he just throw a ton of breaking balls. It’s like he is practicing some games. It’s like he wakes up and says that I am going to throw all sweepers / sliders today .
True. He's like going into that game just figuring out what to do😀
When you reach that level of greatness you have to come up with ways to keep yourself interested each game.
In 2021 he threw way more splitters and the slider only became his primary off speed last year
And when they are runners in scoring position, he increased his level of pitching. He is that great.
He actually said in an interview that he DREAMS of pitches and pitch scenarios in his sleep... and then he just goes out and does it.
I've never seen a pitcher like Shohei. He didn't have his best stuff, the home plate umpire was calling a lot of strikes as balls and he still dominated the Nationals. So blessed that he plays for my favorite team.
Ohtani is the best there has ever been. Prove me wrong.
He is very good, and if he can keep up this level of production for another 3-4 years he will no doubt be one of the best players to ever grace a baseball field.
It's an opinion. You aren't wrong or right.
His team hasn’t made the playoffs and they have him and the actual best player in baseball in Mike Trout
As a Cubbie fan I can say I’ve honestly never agreed with a WhiteSox fan more.
Longevity or he’ll just be another Tim Lincecum
Crazy with that 103 fast and 101 splink, the batter puts the bat directly between the two.
Shohei and his slurves really are goated.
Darvish has an even bigger arsenal and spins it better, but Ohtani has better command and 100 in his back pocket which makes hitters have to commit earlier.
Sounds so scary to face Ohtani
the overlay of Ohatani's sinker and the sweeper (5:52) is extremely funny and clear.
Came for the pitches, stayed for the Moment of Zen.
Shohei's pitching is so diverse. Holy.. does the ninja know how many pitching types Shohei has?
The ones we know for sure he has are a 4seam, sinker, splitter, curveball, sweeper, slider, change-up, and cutter. These are just the pitches he has thrown in games. He might have more up his sleeve.
@heroo he has a change up no point of using it tho throw it 10 times last year 3 times this year
It was 91 so maybe a cutter miss read but ya
@@BMR0923 He said he's got new stuff but not gonna say what it is in his recent interview.
This video is a great collection of works of art. Beautiful.
Shohei Ohtani should've been MVP last year
Every player(especially Judge) should personally thank Shohei for the honor of playing during his era
thats a little much
Why especially Judge lol
@@Brett733 it’s really not. Even as people consider him the most talented player, he is still extremely underrated.
@@MegaRussell12 I agree. But why should every single MLB player (Judge especially) personally thank him for playing in the same Era. That is a ridiculous fantasy and Ohtani is too humble and classy to entertain such a bizarre idea. People who achieve greatness don't need to be constantly told they are the best and they have better things to do than worry about inflating their egos.
It makes sense that Rogers' fastball drops more than his slider, since essentially he is throwing nearly upside down all this pitches will have y-axis movement in the opposite direction as normal. Sliders will rise, fastballs will fall.
Luzardo and Keller are both amazing to watch, great young pitchers! Good to see Burnes back in form, did you notice one of his pitches was sorta like a backdoor slutter? lol.
I’m a simple man. I see Shohei and I click
I was watching shohei pitch yesterday and that 74mph curve ball for the K was siiiiiick, the batter looked so dejected.
Crazy that he throws a 100+mph fastball and that's not his best pitch... oh and he can also hit 40+ homers a season... oh and also has pretty stupid speed on the bags
That hook by Ohtani was super gross.
Please tell us the differences between cutters, sliders, slurves, knucklecurves, sweepers, etc. using spin axis stuff!
shohei’s face when getting checked is like “are you dumb? and you can’t even see the strike zone😐”
"Leave Shohei alooone~~"
I felt that, Ninja! 😄
Ohtani is the best to ever play. No question.
Okay now I'm confused because those Ohtani 'sweepers' look like they are almost entirely vertical movement rather than horizontal
I would love to see an overhead view of the track of the pitches. Years ago, an author by the name of Watts, wrote a book on the physics of baseball. The title is Keep Your Eyes on the Ball. This was part of his PHD candidate work. The results showed just how difficult it is to even track the ball much less with that kind of movement so late in the pitch. There is only 1/10th of a second difference between a 75 mph and a 100 mph pitch. But what a difference eh?
89 mph curveballs 😭😭
Best baseball youtuber ever
As a fan of Ohtani’s pitching since he was playing in high school I am a little disappointed that he has slowly cut out his splitter and rarely throws it now. However, he is still super dominant
That is a tough pitch to throw. I believe he was having a hard time finding the command on that pitch most days and he was also getting finger blisters. Shohei is one smart and talented dude that he is constantly evolving.
@@anthonyfam5469 Yeah, if you watch the games that much is definitely clear. However, when he has control of his splitter I’d argue that it’s even more unhittable than his sweeper. I hope he mixes up his two seam/4 seam/cutter a bit more if he’s going to cut out his splitter. I love both his sliders but when you know it’s coming 70% of the time you have a much better chance of hitting the ball or lay off it. It’ll be interesting to see how effective he is when he throws 70% sweepers against a great hitting team like the Yankees, Mets, Padres, and Astros.
@@metabreaker1185 he still throws splitter in 2 strike counts
And it’s bay saw him get a swing and miss on a bouces in splitter and batter just laughed running back to dug out😊
Love the content, man
love seeing Rockies on here! Freeland is nasty when hes on!
The add on the backstop says it all, gorilla glue! Maybe someday spider tack can get an add on a backstop!
the airbender would like a word, Mr Ninja
love the part about Ohtani
I don’t know what it looks like from the batter’s view but Dustin May is 100% tipping his curveball. Look at his hand/ arm when he’s got the ball next to his head on his delivery @Pitching Ninja
expelliarmus slider is the funniest thing all day
Is a “splinker” a bit redundant?
Hey Ninja, Ohtani’s splitter used to be his best pitch, why do you think he decreased his usage so much?
I think a combination of the success of his sweeper and getting blisters from throwing his splitter a lot
You know your good when the ump has to check for illegal substances. They never do that to a pitcher that sucks
Hell yeah you made it to 1100 without a single dislike. That's community.
De grom hurling low end fastballs as change ups.😯😳
I want to mimic Ohtani's sweeper in MLB The Show 23, but there is no sweeper option. Should I use the slider or the slurve?
Slider will get more side to side movement but the slurve has an arc kinda like a curveball but tails away from righties if you’re a RHP
Pick a lower arm slot and make it a slurve but make it really fast.
First but dang ninja you letting me down on the picks lol, still best baseball show on CZcams! I take that back, looks like I had competition today 😂
My picks have completely sucked for 2 days in a row. I totally own that. Maybe go the opposite of what I pick for a little bit. lol
Agreed, mahle, wacha, Morton are today’s move.
I don't mean to bury the lede by ignoring Ohtani, but I have to give love to deGrom. I've been a Rangers fan since 1985 and he and Nolan Ryan are the two pitchers I've seen play here that wowed me everytime they were on the mound.
Dude. How many pitches does Ohtani have? 😂😂😂
Shohei has the best sweeper best splitter and best fastball in mlb? Does that mean he is a freak pedro x voltron hybrid?
I couldn’t even fathom throwing a 89 mile an hour curve ball😂😂😂 that’s legit insanity to me.
The most effective pitch I saw in the last 10 years is Morton's Curveball. It was the best pitch in difficult 3-2 situations, especially in big playoffs games he played. Also, it is impossible to hit homers on that pich, which is not the case with like Degrom's or Chapman's fastballs
Ninja Lopez was up over 96!!
I missed his 96s. Oops. Sorry Pablo!
I still wish Shohei can throw more fastball. I understand how effective the sweeper is, but I just hope it doesn't ruin his arm from throwing so many offspeed pitches.
crazy how Durans CB gets classified as a slider on the Show
Watch how mcclannahan jumps when he pitches
I’m surprised David Robertson and Adam Ottavino weren’t on this video they had some nasty stuff!
David Robertson was in today's video.
The inner Jesus lizard comment though 😂😂
0.74, not 0.47. still insane either way
Nobody says babe Ruth is better than Ohtani anymore. Babe fans are all gone😂
He was a better hitter
@@gangweedpilled4977 🤣🤣🤣 Babe Ruth wouldn't be good enough to play on a minor league team today.
"Babe fans are all gone" figuratively and literally 😭
But can he fight? Wanna see somebody charge the mound against that guy and see what happens....
You mean like a fertilizing daffodil?!!😀
Anyone know if that rising fastball is actually rising or is that an illusion?
ERA+ of 993 LOLOLOLOLOLOL What in the world hahah I know it is just the beginning but that number is SICKKKK
It looks like May tips his curve by hooking his wrist.
Wasnt his splitter the best pitch tho? He trumped his own pitch?
Wasn’t Zach Pop starting?
If Ohtani was a Yankee, a Dodger, hell a Seattle Mariner he'd be lauded as the greatest player in the game. But he is with the sad sack Angels: a team that is an afterthought in Southern California.
Dylan ceases slider last year was the best pitch in baseball stats wise
yep
ONLY A HATER WOULD NOT APPRECIATE WHAT THIS DUDE HAS DONE
🤫
people will start hiding sticky stuff by their pitch com. this is just a guess from me.
DeGoat is back
ERA+ Of 993, that'll hold
DeGrom might have the best stuff in all of baseball. It’s just so nasty.
Can that bob ross paint a ball or what ? ⚾️⚾️⚾️…
Mariano Rivera's cutter is also nasty
Now everyone's going to hide their sticky stuff under their pitchcom.
100+ mph OFF SPEED haha...
What do you think of Alcantara's slow start?
Sandy will be back. Game before he had a complete game in under 2 hours. Everyone stinks sometimes. :)
@@PitchingNinjaVideos Can u do an analysis of Burt Blyleven?
Pitchers are getting way too big and strong. Duran at the end is disgusting. Colin Cowherd was talking about this the other day- of all the major sports, baseball is the one that has changed the most in the past few generations. Throwing 95+ has become a baseline requirement for an ace. It was a rarity 30 years ago. Balls are now getting near impossible to hit.
so sad mets let degrom go. my fav player
"101 mph offspeed pitch." -- No. Just no. No, no, no. You break 100, it cannot be called offspeed. Stop it.
You can see on the slow-mo view of Mclanahan’s change-up that’s it’s seam-shift is responsible for that filthy movement. No surprise that the rays are trying to take advantage of new pitching tech
Sadly the announcer jinxed poor Duran.
Micheal Tonkin was filthy for the Braves last night too 🔥
That’s only
Over I don’t like from for de grom
One
Expeliarmus slider lol.
I would charge lance lynn if i ever faced him and he yelled out profanity
No its not... Tyler Glasnow's 12-6 Curve is
I don't like it when the pitch is shown where it's caught, not where it crosses the plate. It's so obvious, many times in favor for the home team.
Since when did everyone start calling slurves "sweepers"
He stole the game he may be the best all around player ever
more shohei
Wont be after 2nd TJ
These pitches were so filthy I need to go take a shower
1
310th like hell yeah brother! ❤
No, I have the best sweeper at the age of 16
I should've said "other than Luna"
True but I kind of forgot how to throw it, imma work on throwing it again though
Todays pitchers are throwing to a fast gun. They aren't throwing as hard as you think. The "sweeper" is nothing new give it whatever name you want it's been thrown for 120 years.
too fast dude
Filthy stuff😮
Lol over reaction Wednesday. Next week it will be the forkball is the greatest pitch of all time
His sweeper was the 2nd most valuable pitch in baseball last year...so it's not like it's just happened overnight
Shohei's ability to do both makes him get a tad bit more overrated than he actually is.
He's great. But.. Combining his two way shouldn't be what automatically makes him the "greatest ever".
He isn't the greatest pitcher ever and he isn't the greatest hitter ever.. But man, having an incredible pitcher and hitter in one player def makes him one of the most valuable players of all time..but there is a difference between most valuable and greatest ever.
