Ohtani is different from everyone else .He just loves baseball. He's a true baseball savior,　pioneer,　&　rock star.

@JasonJia909 Год назад

Makes sense- Ohtani is the first larger than life character mlb has had in decades. Someone who seemingly transcends the sport itself. Makes even casual fans interested

@imshakedown Год назад

the mlb playoffs' viewership is suffering so bad without ohtani, imagine if he went to a world series that shit would revive the sport

@karlmckinnell2635 Год назад

Casual fan here and I’m here and around baseball these days due to the Shohei effect. 🎉

Exhibit A right here ; Indonesian (3rd world country somewhere in South East Asia), typical rest of the world : fans of football, the real one not the carrying eggs not using foot at all football, far from "American Sports" reach, yet i care about this dude, i watch him religiously from MLB RU-vid channel. Not because he is Japanese (same Asia sh.t) no.. japan colonized Indonesia brutally at WW2 we still make sour faces when heard Japan, yet this dude make me bench all that feeling, he is something. And he's good for business too, how i know? Again, me as 3rd world country citizen, living paycheck to paycheck here, yet i try to buy his merch. He make me think i can live with instant ramen for a month just to acquire that jersey. What y'all think from his develop fellow countrymen? He will move that merch like Taylor Swift move hers in her Tour

I dont watch baseball. Baseball is not a thing where i live. I know baseball because of movies and i wouldnt even consider myself a casual fan, but after discovering Ohtani I became a fan. I have come to love baseball and now know the teams, how it works, other players etc. so i would credit Ohtani for the growth, at least in my perspective.

@user-lo1nz8wh7j Год назад

What the people in the states don't know about Ohtani is that he is a baseball geek who had notes and memos of training routines on his wall and diary during his highschool days he lives a simple life / mom takes care of his money / he gets his nutrition from his sponsorships he will occasionally spend some money but will spend it on others like giving Lars a watch to come out to the next one to play for team Japan again he wore Czech's cap to the states telling them that he'll take them with him as well He literally is like no other in a sense that he is all baseball and a sound human being nothing else unlike the rest of the tainted adults out there.

Him on the McAfee show is pretty good.. especially him and Gumps rivalry

@spoooky21 Год назад

Such a good point by Passan and how Japanese culture affects Ohtani's media relations. Being in America, you (at least I) can tend to forget about how he is viewed in another country where every word he utters is echoed/dissected for bad or for good.

@wbaldwin666 Год назад

It affects his decision on where to sign, yankees just assumed he would be theirs.. he respects the game so much all he wants is that same respect from fellow players, reporters and fans

@BenDover-vs7ih Год назад

Exactly what Jeff Passan just said. This WBC is because of Shohei. Plain and simple. He's is trending towards being the Goat. Edit: Please please don't ever mention LABUM James in the same breath as Shohei Ohtani. LOL.

@vespuccini Год назад

I think it took MLB players realizing how fun the WBC is and opting-in to play to convince American MLB fans to do the same. If you're convinced MLB is the superior product, you might opt out of WBC games and miss incredible games that top even the World Series, NBA Finals, etc in viewership. And this isnt new either, to basically every WBC country except the US, its been serious from the start and the ratings back it. Shohei to me bridged that gap to show the quality of the international product. It has always been true of MLB, especially everything Latino players have brought in historically! With the US invested, the WBC will be quite the event to follow now! Exciting stuff

Shohei needs freedom. Yankees and Mets won’t support that and the Dodgers once tweeted they dodged a bullet in not getting Shohei Ohtani. We will see.

@dizzykincade7831 Год назад

Ohtani’s English is way better than the mumbling word salads of our “leader.” Don’t you dare tarnish such a good guy that way!

@97NikeSb Год назад

I think the Ohtani effect applies to sports media and alot of fans but that wasn’t why the WBC seemed bigger. The tournament actually felt like it was hyped up and people kept seeing highlights on social media showing Randy and team Mexico and finally seeing Trout play games in a competitive atmosphere. The story behind the Czech team. It was a great mix of stories and highlights made it possible for people who are casuals fans who go to games to drink and socialize actually sat down and watched baseball.

@MrJking065 8 месяцев назад

There are very few teams that can afford Mr. Ohtani. His starting price is $500M to possible $800M. The talking heads said before Mr.Ohtani got hurt he would command $800M. It will have to be a big market team that gets him. Yankees Dodgers Boston Mets. You will need a team that can afford Mr Ohtani and still be able to afford top tier players. As good as Mr.Ohtani he will still need help.

Ohtani is objectively great and objectively adorable.

@Handall88 Год назад

Yankees are at a real disadvantage trying to sign Ohtani. They actively discourage players from participating in the wbc, and Ohtani clearly is going to play in the wbc. Plus ALL signs point to Ohtani not being a big city/major media person

@NewSpork Год назад

The Yankees had multiple players in the WBC, including their longest tenured player who is also Japanese 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Handall88 Год назад

@@NewSpork not everybody can be as easily discouraged as their $250+million dollar men

@NewSpork Год назад

@@Handall88 I don’t even know what that means. But I’m willing to be anything that future WBCs will not be the reason he doesn’t sign with the Yankees. Moreover, if he stresses how important that is to him before he signs, I bet they approve it way in advance. Lastly, their DH position is mightily tied up, so I doubt they make a serious run at him anyway.

@Handall88 Год назад

@@NewSpork well I said they discouraged players from participating, not outright barred them from it. Though I know George is gone, the steinbrenners made it pretty well known they don't care for the wbc

@charlestran6265 Год назад

My question is, what happened to that ball that Ohtani struck out Trout with? Did the catcher or umpire hang onto it? It has to be worth a small fortune.

@slleung8979 Год назад

That ball with the other 6 winning games' balls of WBC 2023 as well as the trophy 🏆 (along with the other 2 Japan got in 1st & 2nd WBC) are displaying in the showcases of Japan's National Baseball museum from today. People are lining up for hours to have a glance of them. However, the Japan team cap🧢 that Shohei threw away with explosion of emotions (along with other Japan teammates' uniform, bat , gloves, and helmet) going to be displayed in US Baseball Museum later.

@charlestran6265 Год назад

@@slleung8979 Ah, thank you for the insight. I was wondering about the hat and the glove that he tossed after that final strikeout. Glad to hear that they will be going somewhere that will preserve and display them for future generations to see and behold.

@slleung8979 Год назад

@@charlestran6265 Well, Only Shohei's cap was given to the American Baseball Museum, Shohei's pitching glove is still used by himself in Angels games throughout this year. The uniforms given were from the winning starting pitcher and Kuriyama manager while the helmet given from batter Murakami and the batting gloves n from batter Okamoto and the bat was given from Red Sox Yoshida ( I hope I remember them well and not confused by items given from who). Anyway, you may still see Shohei using his pitching glove later if he doesn't change new one ( because the colors of the pitching glove are chosen to match the Japan Samurai blue-red uniform, not for Angels).

@MarkWongMD Год назад

I just wish our best pitchers would play. They lost us the game by not playing and being scared hopefully in 2026 the pitchers won't be cowards and will actually participate.

@slurmsmackenzie5729 Год назад

The WBC was great because almost all the stars were in it and they all cared. Every sport used to be like this for All Star games but for so many reasons its different today. I don't really know how to remedy it, maybe try having the All Star game start the season with last years All pro teams. When the viewers and players are most hungry for said sport.

@hay_w1re645 Год назад

I watch the WBC to see other countries play baseball. This launch angle shit is out of control. What is considered a good season for hitters? Is it 30 HR and 200 strikeouts? MLB had 40,800 strikeouts last year which is actually down from the 42000 two years ago.
