10 Things Shohei Ohtani Can't Live Without | GQ Sports 

He basically has to train twice as much as everyone else because he’s a hitter and a pitcher

And his sleep 😅. Maybe that's the key to his success lol

@@1amluv54 did he late for some practices?

“he is not a dude, you're a dude. this is a man”

@@kurtwagner350 really hope it doesn't lead to a shortened career. Kinda like a candle burning at both ends you know. He's a legend

Dude just likes to sleep haha

no cologne, no jewelry, only sport.

He's very frugal according to this interview. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wjfXIVh_NP8.html

@@kawaiipotatoes7888 Thanks for sharing, that was a treat! You can see them eyerolling a bit, like 'come on man how are you so humble and wholesome?' Haha

(yawn) boriing. Where the ice(jewelry) at? Jk bcuz it ain’t that serious lol.

Of course he is, he’s like KD, full concentration on the game. Shohei plays two very important positions, some players struggle to play one of those positions at his level. No time for women. Lol

Listen... If the Los Angeles Angels don't resign Shohei Ohtani when his current contract expires and he enters the Free Agent market, Shohei will be the object of many other teams and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be more than happy to pay 💰💰💰💰💰him his worth and when that happens he'll be so rich 😎he won't have wonder if he snores or not because he will be able to PAY someone else to snore FOR HIM!

​@@williamjones6276 the thing is ...dude really doesn't care about the money. He took a 200 million dollar pay cut to come to the MLB. His first few years his mom managed all his money for him giving him an allowance ..which he saved the vast majority of. He's an incredibly loyal dude that loves what he does. I'm not saying he won't end up elsewhere I'm just saying it'll take more then a paycheck to lure him there.

​@@kenosabiman just needs a team which gives him a realistic chance to play the world series.

@@kenosabiAll it takes is for the angels to make the playoffs this year. If the angels can get sho finally in the playoffs he will stay if not he’s outta there i think it’s that simple

Is that why he got busted for gambling and blamed his interpreter😂 your comment didn't age well 🤣

​@@WehateBiden no your comment didn't age well, but being dumb you probably still think he gambled and ippei is innocent 😂

@@WehateBiden looks like your comment didn't age well

大谷翔平❤日本のレジェンド！！

he's a robot

Yeah it’s weird for me… I never seen such a humble essential for these type of videos

It’s the Japanese aspect I think met a lot of them and they’re super simple and chill

@Gerga Fafa.🍼 Shohei Ohtani Should give up Pitching and play 1Base

At 6'4" he's a tall dude too!

Totally my exact thoughts. His whole image It's just mesmerizing

​@@fighterck6241 6'4??? He is taller than that.

Maybe, one of the perk of being Asian

6'2"

Kind of like Lebron- he also spends millions of dollars on taking care of his body.

The guy's a baseball monk, he literally only cares about baseball

Ciello ___ TB12 does it more then anyone Even tho I’m not. Brady fan. I respect one who takes care of they body to further they game

more like inline with his JApanese sponsors

Staying healthy was always the biggest concern with him. Makes sense that so many of his essentials are focused on health and recovery.

He does not need to flex…. He’s a nature

Different cultures

Why is this the focus of the video? Who cares if people want their chains and sneakers with them? It doesn’t make it ridiculous. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Why you throwing shades at deAndre Ayton 😂

@@akwl0l812 pretty much agree it's their money they earned it and they can spend it however they want ... to me it reminds me of peacocks or there's a few other animals where the male tries to strut their stuff to get the females to want to mate with them ,, i like more the male dolphins style where they just go take what they want and that's it lol

Absolute class of a Manga.

You don't get to his level unless your entire life is baseball

Can you elaborate? Usually once in a generation MLB players prove it over 10+ seasons in the MLB lmao not on a GQ YT video but what do I know about baseball right lol

@@mat4263 As a gooner I love Tomiyasu. Please respect Shohei mate. What he's doing is just unprecedented.

@@my450 when did I disrespect him or what he did in the 2021 season? I simply questioned giving him laurels he has not yet earned....Ichiro has earned being discussed among GOATs....Shohei has earned being discussed among greatest single seasons ever...

@@mat4263 I honestly think he’s proved enough in one season. To be able to be a two way player and hit 46 HR and and have a 3.18 ERA throughout 23 starts is pretty impressive in my eyes. I just hope he keeps it coming

Agree 100%

Once in 200 years. We haven’t seen someone like this since babe Ruth.

Funny enough you may see more. He’s proving it can be done, others may be inclined to follow

@@taylorgang2237 oh for sure. he's the first of many to come.

Gotta get Roki to start hitting bombs 💣

goro shigeno but real^

It’s a very Japanese thing to do. Without them, they are nothing. Many aspects of their culture are very humble.

One of the best stories I've ever heard illustrating a player's character was about the time Ichiro threw his bat in frustration because he wasn't hitting, then sending a letter of apology to the man who made it for Mizuno. Respect and humility never go out of style.

Ichiro, another Japanese player, was the same way. There's a story that after he threw his bat in frustration, he tucked into bed that night and later wrote a letter to the bat manufacturer apologizing for such a "crude display".

I would do the same thing. I feel like a lot of baseball players are like this too. But it’s still great that he’s one of those players.

@@jd0192 thats why anime is better than american "anime" or cartoons

Omg i’m learning baseball bc of himmmmm

Those who don't believe Shohei deserves the 2021 AL MVP, are backing players that haven't been compared to Babe Ruth or have Shohei's long list of records and accomplishments, and CAN'T dual play at high levels or dual play at all.

Anybody who believes he didn't deserve to win MVP knows nothing about baseball and the rarity of what he did while performing AND bringing in a ton of viewers/merch sales worldwide.

hes the GOAT

@@MistaGrim Not only is he the most valuable player in terms of talent but also legit monetary value, he's brought in so many fans and sparked so much new interest in baseball when it needed it badly

@@sneersh9107 100000% true.

Yeah that's funny, he must have never watched previous episodes

just look at videos about japanese baseball, its almost military like with its training, hes toned down since coming to america, but hes still got that dedication

Yes if we can all just sleep like Ohtani, we can easily become just like him!

I get paid to smoke weed on my RU-vid channel lmao😅 i got ads on my videos .. The pandemicc showed alot of people you can’t rely on a 9-5 job!

@@SevenHunnid Not sure what this has to do with this comment. Also, you get like 2k views. No way you're making a living of that.

It's not only about quantity of sleep, but also the quality with proper mattresses, pillows, sheets, temperature, light/darkness, quietness, sleeping positions, etc.

Fo reals!!! 😳🥱😴

Lol hahaha

SERIOUSLY!!!!

Why is that? I'm not a baseball fan, but by all measures he's one of the greatest sportsman in the world. I get the language barrier, but the MLB and the media should be promoting him as he's due. Special athletes like this only come around once in a lifetime.

He is re-writing the history of MLB

You are fine asl

@@RobertKangchristianunix 🤓

Katie Lee you into asian guys?

@@merrittpalmer4349 bro leave me alone tf

Exactly!! He is like Tom Brady in Baseball! I mean the "FLEX but very down-to-earth" image

@@IWill4everBeSamurai the W human where their wholesomeness IS the flex.

For real

GQ had the best 24 hours of their lives lmao. And they might not be done yet 😂

yooo im thinking the same thing... like is it just youtube thats acting up lol

🔥🔥🔥

Amazingly the Angels have 2 humble GOATS

Like giannis

I think we're lucky to live in a generation that has a lot of guys like him relative to the past. People don't like to talk about today being better than their childhoods in any way but the sports superstars of the modern era are by and large good and humble role models.

@@philhalbig6148 But we still can't win. :( :(

Babe Ruth only really did it for one season and he pitched in the deadball era too. Ohtani is hitting 45 hrs and pitching in a high offense environment. There's no comparison.

@@EldritchAugur Yep he is not the new Babe Ruth but the first Shohei Ohtani, and might be the last

@@Feanor026 THIS.

@@Feanor026 you’re right what he’s doing I’m not sure will ever happen again

@@Real_Han_Solo yes it will. Ohtani has opened the doors for other players to do the same. There are some up and coming players that can hit and pitch.

For real he's such a good player and after the season he had last year it's a must if they want to make baseball more popular. My family are Angels fans but I prefer watch other sports. Ohtani and Trout are the reasons I'm watching again. The only thing I can see is them not promoting him or making him the face of baseball is the fact he doesn't speak english or speak it well enough at the moment so I can see that negatively affecting his chances on the marketing aspect.

Agreed. They're pushing him a good amount now though.

They can do that by saving him and trout for the angles and put them on a team with owners that are not useless

Nah I don't think Ohtani wants that. He seems determined to play baseball and that alone

Being on the cover of The Show is a good start

Wait until you see the promo pictures he took 💪🏼 😍

He hasn't even got on any Japanese TV programme since he came back here. Oh actually one on NHK, our government owned channel. But yeah us japanese people have surely missed him so much so this is just so awesome!

Yeah, well said. I get the exact same impression and have always respected the Japanese for their commitment to perfecting their craft, whatever it may be.

@@snoozingtonzzzz3304 the reason why I love Japanese culture as an American, they embody everything our society lacks and it’s why they excel at most endeavors (I’m not a weeb tho, Anime is not for me)

Swag comment

Nit ? Clearly into baseball or else how would you know ? He ain't a philanthropist idiot.

Considering they lost Trout mid season and he has no "protection" so to speak i think they did well. But they need more QUALITY pitchers

I think Naruto is a close second.

@@ckhang one piece>

The man is a walking shounen protagonist

The guy is literally baseball manga protagonist.

W pfp

Nmm

Ohtani is the reason why I start to watch baseball. By the way, he had 46 HR last year. :)

This comment just cracked me up! 😂

Who cares? Weirdo

@@guzzjohnson4282 Apparently you do if you’re going out of way to comment on random strangers opinion.

@@PnoMonies can you explain to me why that is the focus of the video?

@@PnoMonies you got those?

He says Gor La'me, I say bor jo'rno.

He's thicc

Omg I felt you there! I am so in love too! I feel like there is nothing to dislike about him - outside and inside! Oh and I've been dreaming to hug him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@IWill4everBeSamurai 🤨

@@bearsreview5389 🤣🤣 same reaction as well 🤨

I mean i guess i appreciate the info but who asked? Why does it matter? Majority of the true elite talents in the mlb speak a different language. There are alot of sports you need to speak specific languages to even play. For instance, ohtani could have the same skills as jerry rice in his prime but wouldnt make a 1st year nfl franchise with a roster filled of undrafted free agents. Skills are no good in football if you cant communicate where and what your doing on every play. Hockey is similar, except language isnt as important. But then again id love to hear how many Japanese born nhl players there are. Basketball he could. Obviously saw yao ming. But again unless your a equipped with god like talent or size an nba team wont spend its resources on a guy that isnt a guranteed slam dunk. Short story long, baseball is awesome because its one of few sports that dont require a specific language. Literally could field a team of 11 guys. Each guy can speak a different language and play in unison like theyve played together for a decade. Ohtani doesnt need to speak English to be a star. He doesnt learn it for the fans. Or for his opponents. Or for more money. He attempts English for himself so he can communicate with his friends. Who happen to be his teammates. He doesnt need to do it. Because he forces any baseball fan to either like him, hate him or if not those, respect him

@@lawrencehackett6479 wow

Shohei Ohtani barley speaks English?

Well he’s Ohtani, no Ichiro.

@@lawrencehackett6479 I mean I guess I appreciate the information but who asked?

@MrHipHopIsLife Definitely could see Shohei being like Dani Rojas

If he keeps this up for 3 or 4 more seasons...he is hands down the greatest ever...no one else comes close

idk about 5, maybe like 2

not gonna happen if he stays with the angels

@@crossovo theyve got a shot at it this year, if their rotation stays healthy. especially ohtani and syndergaard.

@@bravozulu0380 *cough*

@@Teootron their rotation did not in fact stay healthy

Absolutely false lmao....maybe in Japan

Truth
