A month FOR THE RECORD BOOKS for Shohei Ohtani! (June 2024 MLB highlights) | 大谷翔平ハイライト 

He should have been June’s player of the month.

Watching history in the making with this guy - literally the greatest to ever play the game.

His home run is so high and beautiful.

I'm so, so grateful that Shohei is a Dodger.

This kid is special on another level...

Ohtani can hit huge home runs, has bat control like Ichiro, he's fast, and his pitching...GOAT🐐

Never see Ohtani spit on the field 😊😊

He just makes it fun to watch these games ! Skills, attitude ,spirit and personality.

A half of season into his Doyers career & Ohtani-san takes down a club record, with his 10 game RBI streak that has stood for 70yrs. Stay tuned ! This kid is amazing.

He does everything right it’s so amazing to watch just knowing that he can always make something happen every appearance.

So, MLB chose Harper as June's Player of the Month, but shamelessly posted videos of Ohtani because they knew he'd get more views? How ironic.😅

It's hard to truly grasp the greatness of Ohtani,who excels at an elite level as both a pitcher and a batter,including myself.

Since June 16th he's slashed .396/.515/.1038 with 10HR and 20RBI in 14 games. Junetani came late, but it might stay through July.

Here for Shohei the GOAT and ATG ❤

He was worth it

My June MVP.

I vote Shohei for President! 🗽✍

Ohtani had much better numbers than Harper in June and not winning player of the month just because he's a DH ?

Do you believe ohtani had one of the best months ever and they name Bryce Harper MVP this is ridiculous he didn't even come close😅 to having a month that show he had

He's a pitcher who hits well.

NL MVP 👑

you are MVP of June

JUNETANI!!! 🔥🔥💪🏽

Ohtani was robbed of June player of the month, so MLB releases this video to assuage Ohtani fans 🙄

Super Shohei! | スーパー大谷！⭐⭐⭐

SHOTIME Is PRIMETIME 😎

A 9 minute video of an injured pitcher… hitting homeruns and breaking batting records for a month straight

MLB make fans depressed after not awarding the monthly MVP, who can't make anyone excite to enjoy themselves with a video like this afterwards.

Ohtani > Harper, no question.

Thank you been waiting for this 🤗

I do kind of miss that Samurai helmet HR celebration, it was cool asf.

If everything is perfect, he can master all defenses.

Shoehei the real life anime character!

メジャー通算200本ホームランまであと2本！

It's SHOTIME!!!!!!

Whoever thought we'd see a player who can hit and pitch like he does. Its an honor to be able to witness greatness. I was young witnessing Jordan. Kobe and LeBron. Watched them thru their careers. Tom Brady. Ive seen him and all his greatness. Watching Ohtani is showtime for sure

He’s going to get us a World Series

Junetani in full force

This guy is amazing. Simply amazing.

I want people to keep in mind, Ohtani had a great June and Judge an even better one. But last year Ohtani had the greatest June anyone has ever had. Junetani is super real

シチズンズ・バンク・パークでハーパーに月間MVPの借りを返して欲しい

MVP

今年のホームランは、ほぼ勝利に繋がる。 ドジャースというチームの強さが導いてるのだろう。

SHOHEI OHTANI🇯🇵

MVP!

'SHOHEI .. SHOHEI .. SHOHEI .. SHOHEI!!' ..

GOATANI 🦄🤴💙💥❤️‍🔥🔥

Ohtani❤😊

this pitcher on rehab!!

Announcer: _"Ohtani obliterates it. That man is just built different."_

Shohei is on one😂😂

MLB forgets what the word "valuable" means. It should be of the quality of a player, workethics, and teamplay. Ohtani considers the team win the most, unlike other sluggers who care only about their own stats. Also he is still on rehab. Ohtani is the one athlete that makes us excited, inspired and motivated by watching him play, wherever he plays.

Lets go Ohtani is the BEST and only MLB fan can like this or reply this comment

The first DH to ever win MVP 🐐🐐 Shotime

damn this guy hits more dingers than my Uncle Mitch on the softball field

６月谷は実在する

This kid is special on another level

Ohtani is the best.

Shohei owns june every year

月間MVPはハーパーに盗まれた

Main Character Of Drama❤

Love Shohei... GO DODGERS!!!!

He’s the real player of the month debate the wall

USA Baseball gained the respect of the world.

Junetani

The fans and media were complaining about a slump during this month too

Otani is the best!!!!!❤

Robbed. Racism still at hand

I love his play and he hits HRs at an incredible record pace. However, there's sb who hits at an even faster pace. It's a large world after all.

Opsでハーパーが上回ってたから逃したのかも ホームラン数では圧倒してるけど、総合的に見れば確かにハーパーでもうなづける 年間はwarで大きく突き放してるし大丈夫でしょ

I can't believe they gave player of the month to harper

not bad for a pitcher ;)

Why do Shohei Ohtani's batted balls fly so far despite his seemingly light swing? Ohtani's hitting form looks quite different from that of many other major leaguers who swing with the power of their upper arms. Ohtani's swing form is unique in that there is not much power in his upper arms or upper body. The three characteristics of Shohei Ohtani's swing are what we see. (1) Natural dynamic vision to see the movement of the ball, (2) A stable and smooth swing trajectory that does not shake his body axis due to his overwhelming strength of his torso, lower body, legs, and hips, (3) Instantly finds the best timing for hitting the ball and captures the timing with certainty. These three things are performed with a big body that has been trained through diet and training for his past 10 years. As a result, he can hit a moving ball as far with a steady and efficient swing as if it were a driver shot of a stationary golf ball. Shohei Ohtani's hitting style is characterized by his ability to instantly find the optimal sweet spot for a pitch coming into the hitting zone, and to ensure that he hits the ball just right. His swing appears stable, smooth, and unshakeable, with no effort until the follow-through, when he captures the best timing to ensure that he hits the ball at the right moment. Despite this, the ball flies a long way. This is because the power generated by the swing trajectory is efficiently concentrated on a single point on the ball without waste and converted into the ball's flying power. Shohei Ohtani is able to hit the ball this way, because, first, he has an unshakeable torso axis and strong legs and lower body, and second, he has good dynamic vision, which is the reason for his excellent pitch selection.（His good eye for the ball, which is the result of his natural dynamic vision.） He trains not only his upper body but also his lower body intensively, so that his legs and back, core, and axis are stable when he swings, and his body does not shake with the force of the swing. This is due to the strength of his well-trained legs and back muscles. If we compare Shohei Ohtani's swing with that of other sluggers, focusing on the relationship between the upper and lower body, we can see a significant difference during the swing. Many players swing with their upper bodies with great force and hit the ball, but when they follow through, their lower bodies, which are supported by an open stride, are defeated by the rotational force of the swing of the upper body, which has a longer trajectory than the stride, and in many cases, their feet flop or their lower bodies are jolted by the swing power. However, when looking at the follow-through of Shohei's swing after hitting a just-meet shot, the lower body hardly swings at all, and the body axis remains stable, smooth, and clean. Naturally, like other hitters, Otani's upper arm movement should be greater and stronger than that of his lower body, but the overwhelming muscular strength of his lower body, including the length of his legs, absorbs and supports the impact of the swing trajectory of his upper body. When we compare the upper and lower body movements, we see that his lower body strength overwhelmingly outweighs his upper body strength. This is what seems to mechanically affect the distance of the ball when Ohtani hits it. (Ohtani: lower body strength >= upper body swing, other hitters: upper body swing >= lower body) In his case, being a pitcher from a young age may have contributed to the strength of his torso and legs and back. To reduce the burden on their overworked arms and shoulders, pitchers intentionally focus on training to strengthen the lower body, including the legs and hips, which stabilize the trunk and axis. In his case, more than 10 years of training as a pitcher since his boyhood may have formed his overwhelming core stability and leg and hip strength, and may have had a positive effect on his hitting form. If so, this may be the result of his pursuit of becoming both a pitcher and hitter at the same time, a dual way that is very difficult to achieve. Another factor that may have contributed to his hitting is the way Japanese high school baseball education is conducted. Japanese high school baseball hitting instruction often adopts the "meet hitting (Just meet timing)" method. The bodies of Japanese high school students are often thin and without muscle strength, as they have not yet fully matured. In teaching these skinny and weak students to hit the ball, they often teach them to hit the ball at the best time, rather than hitting it with their upper arm strength. In other words, they teach them the "Just meet timing hitting" method, in which the ball is surely caught at the sweet spot and sent flying far away by its repulsive force. This approach is similar to the swing theory of hitting long shots in golf. In other words, this method has much in common with the theory of hitting the ball on the club's sweet spot and converting the acceleration of the club head into the force of the ball's flight with a stable swing trajectory that does not sway the axis. In Japanese youth baseball, a coach often uses this phrase when coaching skinny, ineffective players, "Don't swing hard for home runs. Aim for a single hit first, and think that a home run is an accidental extension of a single hit (when the conditions are right). The important thing is to hit the ball with a high probability of catching the center of the ball and making sure you hit it." Watch Shohei Ohtani's warm-up routine as he waits in the next batter's box. It shows what he thinks is important in hitting. He doesn't swing the bat blindly, but watches the timing of the opposing pitcher's pitch as it comes to the batter in front of him each time. He then tests the best timing for his own bat swing in accordance with the opposing pitcher's pitch. Shohei's hitting technique seems to focus on matching the bat precisely at the best time without hesitation to the various pitches thrown by the pitcher.　 That seems to be another secret of Shohei Ohtani's hitting. Many baseball commentators try to discover Shohei's strong and weak zones. It is true that Shohei has a hard-to-hit zone that he is not good at.　However, that alone does not seem to mean much to his game. The key to Shohei's hitting is to hit the ball with the best timing to match the velocity of the pitch, no matter what zone the ball comes in.　Shohei places more importance on the timing of his hits than on the zone. His hitting style is not only about aiming for home runs, but also about mass production of hits. It is just an extension of hit production, and if the timing is right, the distance will be home-run level. Accurately analyzing Shohei Ohtani's hitting technique is tantamount to finding a methodology to make the ball fly farther and more efficiently.

Ahhh Huevo!!!.....

Why is he not the NL player of the month?!
