😱 Stephen A. & Shannon Sharpe IN AWE of Shohei Ohtani's historic 50/50 season | First Take 

Remember when SA said Ohtani shouldn't be the face of MLB bc he couldn't speak English 😂

Ohtani is that guy where you check the box score after the game to see what he did today. Even if you don't follow the dodgers.

Must hurt Stephen a so much to speak positively about shohei haha

Half of him is on the IL and the other half went 50/50.

To make the 40/40 club with a walk off grand slam then the 50/50 club going 6-6 3 HR, 10 RBI, 2 2B, 2 SB, 4 runs and 17 total bases is nothing short of spectacular. What an amazing thing to witness. Congratulations Shohei Ohtani, you are the GOAT

Also Stephen : "Ohtani is not face of Baseball"😅

When Shohei is getting paid 70 mil a year and people think you are still being under paid, that's the definition of value there. It was dumb for the NY press to even put Shohei and Lindor in the same conversation when it comes to value and MVP.

He was a foot away from getting the cycle also. He got caught at third, in his 3rd at-bat.

Shohei is must watch TV. He is worth every penny

That $700,000,000 contract worth every damn 0s 🎉

Unc is hot af sitting outside in that suit lol

Stephen a still a hater

Stephen A. I thought you said GOATANI is bad for baseball? Why don't you eat your words.

@Stephen A. Smith What happened to your old, "he's not good for the game?" You should have been fired for that remark.

Ohtani is our Babe Ruth

I know ALL of Japan 🇯🇵 was watching since he went 40-40! He definitely earned his 700 million contract!

Easily worth a billion. The revenue hes bringing in is historical. People I know that don't watch sports follow this guy

Stephen A always gives off lowkey vibes that he doesn’t like Asians. Of all things Shohei has achieved so far, that is literally a “once in a lifetime” to witness, Stephen A always reels back his awe with Shohei and tries to anchor it to another black athlete. If Shohei was black Stephen would not hold back and have a shrine of him.

He's a pitcher recovering from tommy john this year. All other pitchers recovering from tommy john do nothing but rehab.

If Lux doesn't score on a wild pitch just before one of Ohtanls home runs, he would of had 11 rib.

Shay Shay sweating like he's on another IG Live!

Barry Bonds was also jacked on performance enhancers

Shohei owns the 50/50 club on his way to Cooperstown. LAD vs NYY in the World series would be a baseball spectacle.

It’s not only base running speed, but incredibly accurate and consistent foot and slide placement

I heard a stat yesterday that made this even more amazing. There is no single player in MLB history who has had the combination of: going 6-6, hit 3HR, had 2 SB, and had 10 RBI’s in their CAREER. He did this all in 1 game!!! It’s truly amazing. I currently live in Japan and I can’t tell you how proud the Japanese are of Shohei. He is a gentleman as well as the greatest player in MLB history. I used to hesitate to say that b/c I respect the history of baseball and all of Babe Ruth’s accomplishments, but damn, this is pretty ridiculous. We are fortunate to be able to experience this. It’s like watching Michael or Tiger or Jack or Ali in their prime.

I never thought I’d see someone have more talent than Barry Bonds, but I thoroughly stand corrected. Ohtani is the greatest already.

Royals and Braves fan here, Shohei is the reason I watch baseball now and wears his jersey, go Shohei!!

When they come out with the next MLB video game, you're gonna have to use a cheat code to get Ohtani.

i love when steven a is into Shohei, the dynamic duo that no one ever saw coming

Skip Schumaker, you are a national treasure! We in LA, tip our hat to you sir!

Ohtani should be a unanimous mvp. He is a legend. Stories will be passed down about how good ohtani is. And we are so lucky to live and see his greatness. I don’t like 13 year mlb contracts but this man deserves every single penny. I only hope dodgers can get him a ring.

The greatest athlete ever… a Pitcher , a home run hitter and a 50-50 player..

Stephen A being forced to talk about Shohei Ohtani after once saying a guy who can’t speak English can never be the face of baseball is HILARIOUS.

It is very likely that there will never be another player like Shohei Ohtani. Even when he retires, he will forever be talked about like Babe Ruth. We are lucky to live in the same era and be able to watch him play now. If I lived in the US, I would take time off work to go see him too.

Love Shannon. He is the next James earl jones

And he's lights out pitching. Basically Bo Jackson but in the same sport which is unheard of

He is Mr. Beast of baseball. ⚾️

One of the greatest individual accomplishment in one game in modern SPORTS history, when the competition is at it’s highest. It’s like watching Kobe score 81 points, MJ dropping 63 pts in the playoffs, like watching Tiger Woods beating the field at the Masters by 12 strokes… Ohtani 6 for 6, 2 doubles, 2 steals, 3 HR, 10 RBI on a day where he founded the 50-50 club and topped if off by going 51-51.

"Can't say enough about him" - Yet he was the one that said this guy can't be the face of MLB because he couldn't speak English. I didn't know baseball had a language barrier. That comment sticks with him forever. In the words of HIS own? Blasphemy! In my own, dude your words are ASSinine lol

What he said a few years back will never go away

Molly said "arguably his best game". What? Thats the best game ever in MLB history!

Honestly ohtanis other season where he hit like 45 hr and pitched like 140 innings is more impressive to me. Pitching and hitting is still insane

"Arguably the best game of his career." No, its arguably the best game of anyone's career.

That last homer off Brujan was absolutely demolished. Hit so hard it may no longer be a ball.

She tried so hard to look like she was participating in the chat but her wandering eyes and listless expression betrayed her 😅

Ohtani has a different kind of Aura😤

Albert Pujols hit 3 hrs in a World Series game also. Shohei is doing it cleeeaannn.

Give him a bonus is just amazing 👏

Listening to Steven A and Shannon talk about baseball is like listening to to my grandma talk about rap music.

"He worth a billy". Factssss

1:10 Dang look at how sweaty Shannon is

Funny how Stephen is now a fan. Also Stephen a few months back "It's a shame to have Shohei as the face of MLB".

Stephen A. Does he deserve to be the face of baseball yet? Now you praise him?

SAS said Ohtani couldn’t be the face of MLB because he didn’t speak English and it was harming the game bruh Ohtani be serving SAS his crow he need to eat it

The most forced segment in first take history

Can't believe 1st Take is talking baseball . We're witnessing the greatest player ever.

just give him the MVP Award!

Acuna's 40/70 is pretty amazing

SAS and Sharpe stayed in basketball and Porn, your knowledge about baseball is the same that I have about Physics, NONE!!

Nice to see sas come around on Shohei Ohtani, because I recall him previously saying Shohei couldn’t be the biggest star in baseball because “he doesn’t even speak English” Now everyone knows Shohei Ohtani is the greatest! LGDODGERS 🤩💙❗️

Ohtani is great, but he's NO Barry Bonds......let's calm down a little bit.

hmmm... I recall a double header last year where Ohtani pitched a complete shutout game, then hit two homers in the second game as DH... so as for best performance by an MLB player in the modern era, we can argue the skill level it takes to do that.

We havent seen nothing like him since ken griffey jr. He creates awesss!!! In every stadium...

Good to see these great two baseball Minds come together……

Shanon actually knows a lot about baseball. Don't know why ESPN don't use him in that matter.

Damn this guy is so good I have to watch his highlights even though I don’t even watch baseball

Still behind Aaron Judges RBI count for the season. Crazy.

First time I have ever heard Shannon sharpe talk about baseball!

Yeah, I remembered when sas stereotyped Ohtani and said he shouldn't be the face of the MLB because he couldn't speak English.

It really is stunning!

It’s official Shohei is the Michael Jordan of baseball!

SA absolutely hates giving praise to Non-Americans.

I like the fact that SA, at the end mentioned the contract. We all know when a player is in a contract year. All of their stats go thru the roof. And then the following season they seem to underperform. But wow.... It's great to be Los Doyers fan

LOL, Shannon said they underpaid him. He's worth a bil...... Its laughable when you think a person getting paid $700 mil and yet here I am can't say I disagree with that.

There's a group called The Baseball Project I actually saw this year with Peter Buck and Mike Mills from REM fame. All their songs involve a baseball theme, including spit balls, disco demolition, Ted Williams, Dale Murphy and a song called Ohtani.

Great historic season, but he's got to prove it now in the playoffs.

He's the damn G O A T !!!

Oh yes Shannon. I remember the great Dominican pitcher Rafael Soriano who hit 40/40 back in the day

SA switching sides from “I hate him but I can’t be r4cist I’m bl4ck” to “this Chinese boy might be onto something”

Shannon fighting for his life out there lol 🤣🤣😆

Ohtani has batted .280 w/ 224 home runs and 141 stolen bases in 7 years. Bonds batted .298 w/ 762 home runs and 514 stolen bases in 22 years. If Ohtani can improve his batting average and do this for 15 more years, then he'll be on par with Bonds in terms of batting average, home runs, and stolen bases.

This rehabing pitcher is about to go 55 / 55. Let that sink in.

Nine games left in the season. He's in such a zone, I think he can finish 54/56.

Shohei is the only guy doing this without steroids

That’s not even pitching yet . Wait til next year when he start pitching and still putting up these batting numbers. The best player ever !!!

When you make your game character and max out everything 😂

Happy to say I got to see him play in San Francisco.

Will next year the storyline will be throwing 150 strikeouts while batting 150 RBIS in the same season.

If Ohtani game wasn’t recorded no one would have believed it happened 😂 Dude is All Time Great

Molly looking like she don't wanna be there at all 💀

Stephen A is talking about Shohei because Shohei today is inevitable otherwise Stephen A talks about basketball and football. That's it. ESPN is simply the NBA & the NFL, even in the off seasons. So shut up Stephen A.

somebody gotta get Unc a napkin, towel, or handkerchief man. Unc is drippin' out there! lmao

if i was dodgers, I would of let Ohtani to pitch the last inning..... Closing out the game after those performance sounds ...........legendary

The day Jeff Passan schooled Steven A on Ohtani 😂. I still remember that day. He doesn’t know shit about baseball.

Shay is sooo sharpe and detailed on every subject in every sport. Sorry haters but he is just really really good

Such a diverse panel

He’s also still recovering from injury, next year it’s going to be insane.

Yankees fan here but def have to respect it

He really ate those words about Ohtani

If 1 HR = 3 SB, then 73 HR + 13 SB > 53 HR + 55 SB.
