Masataka Yoshida has INCREDIBLE World Baseball Classic! So MANY CLUTCH moments from Team Japan STAR! 

Best self introduction to Boston

打席回ってきた時「この選手なら大丈夫だろう」という安心感が1番ありましたね。 全試合中三振1回はエグすぎる。

Beautiful swing, effortless, smooth....., the best swing I've ever seen since Ichiro.

You know what? He only had one strikeout throughout whole series!

Oh hey, the 9th inning (vs. Mexico) of him getting the walk was not worth to be included!?😢 I was impressed how well he observed under such pressure, knowing Murakami, the next batter, has not been at his best. But he trusted him and as he walked, he turned, made eye contact with him and pointing at him, gesturing, “it’s on you, and you’ll do it” and that was so good🥹🥹🥹

Im a hardcore Ohtani fan, but tbh Yoshida was the saviour of Japan. Hes the mvp for me.

吉田単体で取り上げられてるのすげーな。大谷や村上にいいとこ取られちゃってたけど、やっぱ今大会のMVPは吉田正尚だよ。

The fact that he hit twice against Sandoval shows how good a batter he is

The unsung hero of the classic! What a hit vs the Mexico team

He is 5'8" - he proves no matter how tall you are, you can play for MLB if you work hard.

Starting to see why Red Sox payed this dude handsomely!!!🇯🇵

Future red sox star

Respect to japanese team.🖐🏻🇫🇷

Yes, he was awesome! He was another MVP of wbc. He deserved truly.

That last one he did against Mexico was giving goosebumps still.

Without Yoshida's tying three-run homer in the semifinal against Mexico, Japan would not have reached the final. Boston got a really good deal.

1番に注目すべき点はなんといっても愛くるしい走り方

He will bring a smile to any Red Sox fan.

You can argue he was the real MVP. Yoshida came up clutch so many times for Team Japan.

Yoshida Masataka is a truly beloved and respected player who led the Orix-Buffaloes to a championship after 26 years in the doldrums. He said, "I will aim to win a championship with the Red-Sox as well.” I wish you all the best, Masa-san!🐼✨

Yoshida was such a treasure for the Japanese national team

The Boston Red Sox did their due diligence. Yoshida is a patient hitter who doesn't strike out often. He walks often and gets on base. He can hit for power and drive in runs. He can execute situational hitting no problem. Although this guy doesn't have strong throwing arm, nor does he have blazing speech on base path, the Boston fans will be very happy that he plays for them in Boston.

Big Fly, Yoshida-san!

とりあえず吉田は打ってくれるって言う安心感

That 3run homer changed everything

I'm from Japan and would like to share Yoshida's story for this WBC. Kuriyama, the manager, was not going to select Yoshida to be on Team Japan out of respect for the Boston Redsox signing him to a big contract. When Yoshida heard about this, he personally had to beg Kuriyama to select him. Not sure about the kind of conversation Yoshida had to have with the Redsox but obviously they gave him their blessing. So on behalf of the Japanese fans, we'd like to thank the Redsox for allowing Yoshida to play!!

活躍の割には、それに釣り合わない扱いだったので、焦点を当ててくれて嬉しいです。

I was amazed by the tenacity and flexible bat control of Masataka Yoshida of the Boston Red Sox.

メキシコ戦の起死回生のホームランは本当に痺れた！

Boston got a gem 💎

吉田はMVP獲ってもおかしくない活躍だったね！

Yoshida's performance in the WBC competition was amazing Please show us a lot of great play in Boston, too

他の選手が手こずった、チェコの全球ムービングスローボール投手と、精密機械と化したサンドバルからも何なくヒット打った吉田は才能と筋肉の塊だな。

吉田は決勝戦行くまで三振ゼロだったのが驚異だった。

本当に色々な投手に、これだけアジャスト出来る正尚さん本当に凄すぎます！やっぱりMVPは正尚さんだったと思います！最多13打点もあっぱれですね！

Superstar player like Ohtani or Trout sometimes makes us think that Baseball are either home run or strike outs, but the truth is there is more to it in between

Boston got the hottest man with great power and batting control!!

The bat looks like it's part of his body, what a lovely swing..

Mr.RBI machine.⚾🇯🇵🇺🇸🧦💪✨ Super clutch hero Masa🤗❤️🎉

this guy is good wow

Best hitter

Una máquina de bateo tremendo pelotero que firmó Boston ojalá tenga una buena temporada con Boston por qué es Tremendo pelotero.

メジャーリーグのレギュラーシーズンを知る前に、WBCの決勝戦を知ってしまった今期デビューのメジャーリーガー。

To the boys who idolize Ohtani , I want to say: if you want to become good at baseball, you should follow Yoshida's swing as a model.

I know Ohtani has the star power, but I think Yoshida should've gotten MVP. He definitely came in clutch when Japan needed him.

I really wished Yoshida could win the WBC MVP, but again, Ohtani is the core engine of the Samurai Japan team, as the power and the team spirit. He lit everyone in fire.

Before seeing the amazing matchup between Trout and Ohtani, I had thought Yoshida would win MVP

As you can see from his jersey number, he played #34 for 5 years at NPB. Because he respected Ortiz and Harper so much. Also, his nickname is "Macho Man" (Muscle Man), so please call him from above the green monster.

Yoshida is a very talented and skilled baseball player

4:22 best angle

Yoshida's three-run shot created the walk-off and the drama between Ohtani and Trout. He was the savior.

So many new names I'll have to remember. I've just recently become familiar with Roki Sasaki.

Super balanced swing

Hopefully, he'll shine in Boston as well.

Boston must feel like they got a bargain.

MVP in my books

吉田は最高の所で打ってくれる。欲しい一本に必ず応えるのはそうそうできるものではない。

Japanese TV stations will have to buy not only the Angels games.Also Red Sox and Cardinals games from this year.

I hope Yoshida does a great job for the Red Sox this year.

隱形 MVP

Good 👍😊 for you Japan your making history and more 🌟 super star 🌟 baseball

吉田さんありがとうございます😣🙏❤️　最高でした🎉🎉✨

MLB needs to grab any willing Japan player.

Yoshida, hitting a 3-run homerun, would comment: it's a tiny souvenir to Boston.

If it were just hitters, Yoshida would be the MVP. But in the modern era, there are unicorns. Well, whatever it was, Yoshida got good publicity for Red Sox fans.

Ohtani and Murakami made great contributions to Japan's victory, but I think it was Yoshida who contributed the most.

He’s good

His stats playing for Orix over the last 5 or 6 years are pretty insane. I’m not expecting him to LITERALLY be like a Japanese Juan Soto the way he has been in that league, but this certainly shows promise! One thing I find slightly concerning is how long his swing is - though that isn’t necessarily limiting. His swing actually reminds me a lot of JD Drew’s, a vastly underrated player whom I loved watching play for Boston.

Absolutely smashing it his rookie year

MLBの公式チャンネルで境地verが聞けている事に感動。

MVP

Actually in Japan,many of NPB OB commentators admired Yoshida's batting skill than NPB 3-crown hitter Murakami. There is no doubt that Yoshida's batting skill is the best in NPB. It's not strange that He'll do well than Matsui Hideki🦖

During WBC my most impressive player is Yoshida. I am Japanese but I didn’t know Yoshida until WBC starts. I am not really sure how his work contributes Boston, but so far Yoshida’s future looks great. Hi from Japan 😊

Yoshida was great. Hope he does equally well in Boston.

4:06 Best scene

YOSHIDAAAAAA

勝負所で頼りになりすぎた

Yoshida is the man who farted during the match against the Czech national team and destroyed Ohtani and Nootbaar's noses.

🙌🙌ya casi dando palo con los Red Sox

オリックスを2年連続優勝と26年振りの日本一に導いた英雄

Yoshida is like 5'7" relatively small, but can hit and rarely strikes out and come up in the clutch moments, as we have seen in the WBC against the best in the world and in the majors. Red Sox got a great player.

YOSHIDA has been the best Japanese hitter in recent years. Better than Ohtani. That's a Japanese opinion

吉田特集！ナイス！

打擊實力還在「鈴木誠也」之上！ 是日本赴美球員「最接近一朗✅」的球員！

日本のメディアでは多大なる貢献度に対して扱いがあまりにも小さい一方、公式がこのような特集を作ってくださったことに感謝します。 レッドソックスファンの方、吉田正尚の応援お願いします。

The Red Sox got a very good buy, hey, he has good pitch selection and punch. As an Angels fan I think he's going to be a huge opponent, but I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do as an athlete 😁.

もうめっちゃ好きやん笑

Great swing and I like his hustle out there

Japan's most reliable batter who grew up with Orix Buffaloes

ちくわバット最強だわ

Yes sir!!!!!!! 13RBIs WPA92.9%

World champion!!!!!!!🎉

the real MVP in wbc

more power ichiro

Yoshida is stable

I’m happy to be a Red Sox fan right now lol

だいたい出塁してる近藤もナイス

This man is something

He DESERVED the MVP Trophy !!!!!

イチロー以来の首位打者取ろう！
