I first thought the hype surrounding Ohtani was overrated and the MLB was using him for ratings. Boy was I wrong. He is the real deal. He pitches well and dominates the batter's box. He leads in homeruns and third in RBIs. An incredible athlete, hopefully he stays healthy.
Ohtani is an incredible player and an even more incredible person. This ASG was his, he brought the fun even if it was for a little while. I think it's so cool that he's always smiling, his smile is so contagious... I just love it😍😍
Watching him, I feel like Shohei Ohtani has very little if any interest at all in winning anything at the All Star. He’s just happy to be there, and mostly, he just wants to have fun.
I have watched most of his games and other dugout videos. Even though he's all smile, if you pay attention to all the little details (not just watching the highlight clips) he's utter competitive in everything he does. That is what drives his excellence along with elite althetism,
He is SUPERMAN BREED!!! His Dad play Baseball His Mom play Badminton and he himself can play football and basketball very well (there is clip that he bounce the ball with ease).
As I have said before this guy is special even though I am a Red Sox fan I enjoy watching him play and would love to see him come to the Red Sox someday
I'm an Ohtani fan but the coverage was overkill. Hopefully for his sake the media back off and let him finish the season strong. I think they're using him to try to appeal to the international market, especially Asia.
I also think they’re overkilling it. Shohei might look like he’s shrugging off this pressure but we can never tell until when is he able to smile like this without it getting to him. One thing is for sure tho, Japanese MLB players are a breed of mentally strong athletes.

even if ohtani beat soto, he wont have anything left for the next round. if he would of hit a homer during the all star game, man crowd will break the stadium. he just having the best time of his life during the all stars.
Haters are so mad lmao. Luka Doncic was goofing off during the all star weekend and yet you hear no criticism whatsoever and even saying he was having a good time. But when Ohtani is doing all star all of a sudden he’s overrated cause he didn’t win the home run derby or hit a home run at the all star game? Lmao haters man, just say you don’t like Ohtani cause he’s Asian
brown the pitcher was TERRIBLE for shohei. he took waaaaaay too long to pitch to shohei. he seemed more concerned with himself than trying to throw a pitch that was advantageous to shohei
Cody0710 and qp3 who keep posting comments relating ohtani with korea 🇰🇷 or china🇨🇳, especially korea🇰🇷/ pretty sure one person/ Please don't think that one troll's comments represent all koreans thoughts. No one definitely not even a single person in korea really think otani is korean.The comments of Cody0710 or qp3 are insulting Korea too. He is using korea for the way of offending otani's fan in japan🇯🇵. he will comment every othani's clip of mlb channel but i hope people just ignore him.
Hey! 🇯🇵🇯🇵Japanese🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 fans who get annoyed by Cody0710, Korean fans who are very embarrassed by him! I found out some clues about who he is. He is Chinese or Chinese living in korea( like janichi). Here are his comments i saw./ "In confucianism, China is the prime, the neighbors like korea and vietnam are the second, This is how we ruled Asia for more than 2000 years"/ ... WE ruled asia..??who are we? It's just so Chinese. And China is prime and korea is neighbor??? No way!!! Real korean never say like that. I mean korean who is not related to china. / In this channel, there are only few korean, because we have our own youtube channel,SPO tv, which is official provider of MLB in korea. many false information about korea in here. If you really want to know how korean think, go SPO tv, that is reality. / Hey japanese fans, I totally understand how you guys feel. But i want you to not feed that troll. If you keep react, he will never be gone. We all know he is just pathetic loser who wants to get some attentions, right?
@@TryPuttingItInRice he's the lebron, kobe, shaq, jordan in one body. The conor, khabib, GSP, jon jones, silva in a person. The mike tyson, mahamad ali, floyd, pacquiao, canelo in a man
@@TryPuttingItInRice why can't he just be two way forever, why not. Lebron does triple double almost all the time. He shouldn't be just a homer or a pitcher, he should be both for good
This is so stupid, MLB. This guy did practically nothing during the all star game and home run derby, yet he gets his own freaking video? Yikes! Focus on a player who did good.
@@sonhuynh943 look at the mlb site, trying to say he pitched a perfect inning, so did others, who won A.S.G mvp? who got beat in the home run derby? Ohtani headlines from the top...Vlad will win MVP! Now GTFOH my boy, or I mean son....
@@ocnblizzard4764 Vlad doesn't even have chance to attend HR Derby, wdym?? Vlad might be a better hitter, but Ohtani is a better baseball player, he does it all. Btw, Ohtani is still leading in HR. Old man.
4:57 i love it when Ippei stand up to celebrate thinking Shohei hit another homer and win but actually it's only his 21st. It makes me realized how Ippei really is Shohei's number 1 supporter more than everyone in ballpark that day.
Ippei, was already in place as Shotani's Japanese-English translator in the 2018 rookie year. I thought, what a job! Gets to hang out with the players and travel with the team. There are not that many Japanese-Americans that are top-level fluent in Japanese and same with English in Japan. Plus Ippei played catcher for Brown/Ohtani in the Home Run Derby.
It's such a pleasure to watch him pitching, running, hitting on the field. He smiles all the time like a little kid, pure enjoying baseball. Really ❤️ his vibe. stay healthy ohtani San !
Shohei is always thrilling all the time he is Toguro he gave only his 30percent in this all star break to give chance to others specially to Juan Soto and Vladimir Guerrero the most important thing is that shohei is already the peoples MVP
@@user-wt8im2ro1p Soto’s pitcher was giving him slow pitches down the middle, as he should. But Ohtani’s pitcher was giving him low and outside curveballs that he could barely reach!
@@user-wt8im2ro1p the best performance of juan soto and every all star is only equal to the worst of shohei ohtani and the day after he throws 98-100 mph
Shohei lowkey choked in the HR derby and he’s so talented he still almost won. Soto is my top 3 favorite hitters in baseball and still gotta say Shohei’s display was more impressive despite the loss. He tied Soto in basically half the time after blowing it the first 2 minutes, and all he needed was one in the last 16 seconds to win in the tie breaker.
Dude thx always saying positive things about Ohtani, but why u use Japanese name n Japanese icon even though ur Korean. I'm just feelin' weird. Idk why u pretend to be Japanese. pls don't get me wrong I luv the person who is very elegant like you. いつも大谷君のいい事書いてくれて嬉しいけど、なんで日本人のふりするの?別に良い韓国人は普通に好きだよ。
At first I didn't like him cause it felt like MLB was just waving him in our faces, but now I love the guy. Im still rooting for vladdy for MVP cause I'm a jays fan, but I hope Shohei can keep raking!
