Shohei Ohtani Is The Superstar 100 Years In The Making 

Babe Ruth clearly decided to try his hand at baseball again and thought, this time why not Japan.

Great hitter, great pitcher, and Ohtani can run like the wind plus he’s a real gentleman, too! Not a conceited spoiled brat like so many modern stars. This young man is a phenomenon. Never seen anything like him.

This Shohei Ohtani guy is only 26 years old, were so lucky to be able to witness this.

...and, to top it all off, he is also a hell of a nice guy.

This young man brought me back to watching MLB.

Looking at that dudes body. He was build for baseball. So glad he made it.

Shohei Ohtani is the miracle that MLB needed and he delivered despite the pandemic

The babe is the one, but this guy is Mr baseball, he is like nothing we've ever seen, it's hard to believe, he is the man.

Ohtani once hit a ball into the roof at Tokyo Dome...it never came down.

Wow, to say his talent is rare is an understatement. Only comes along once every 100 years.

He is a living legend before our eyes.

Ohtani just broke another record and is the only player to have 10 home runs , pitched 10 win and 10 steals .

Shotime is the chosen one.

Man if this video was delayed by just one week it could've included one of the best week's for a Major Leaguer ever (he's retied the league in HR!). Ohtani is literally a highlight machine for the MLB YT channel lol.

This is a generational player - let’s enjoy it. And oh yeah, he can play a crazy good right field. The Angels have him and Trout - two generational talents.

ohtani is handsome, good natutre and tall , almost anime character.

Shohei is handsome and talented. Love

As a former minor league player, I can tell you we are watching a jewel on the baseball diamond. Ohtani immediately made me remember the Japanese home run king, Sadahara OH (He hit 868 career dingers, which is still the record in all of professional baseball worldwide). MLB now has its own version of the NBA's Steph Curry. Hope he stays healthy a whole season. Being in the home run derby may not be as exciting as Josh Hamilton or Bryce Harper's wins, but MLBaseball needed more than a COVID shot in the arm in 2021!

One big reason Ohtani initially struggled with pitching in MLB is that balls are slightly bigger than those in NPB and the leather is more dry and slippery, which results in more strain to the elbow. After his two surgeries, this year Joe Madden says he hasn’t seen Ohtani laugh so much, which is a sign that he doesn’t have to bear the elbow and knee pain like before. I really hope he stays healthy. For the non-Japanese fans, I’ll give you a link of a video of Ohtani getting interviewed at age 22. (Sorry, it’s all in Japanese, no subtitles.) This is his “table of goals” (ultimate goal and smaller goals, and yet smaller goals to achieve it) he put together as a high school freshman: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLt0TGoQCQc.htmlm37s A bit later in the vid he shows the flexibility of his shoulders, which was one of the smaller goals for him to be able to throw 160km/h (100mph): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLt0TGoQCQc.htmlm26s So, while some people call him a unicorn, it’s not like he’s was just born with a gift. He’s fought all the nay-sayers of his 2-way dream in Japan as well. He’s extremely focused and he’s worked very hard since he was young to fulfill his dream, step by step. This guy has no interest in partying, he thinks it’s a waste of time and would rather go to the gym. He’s literally obsessed with baseball.

So now he’s tied for the HR lead 😅

There WILL NEVER be another Babe Ruth

The sound of the ball coming off his bat is unique and sooooo satisfying.

He was the ace of his high school baseball team since he wore number 1. Numbers in Japanese High school baseball are assigned in order.

Damn this video aged so well just one week later.

Ohtani, is a candidate who can do something in baseball never imagined: Win 20 games or more, give 200 hits, push over 100 runs and average over .300

Shohei Ohtani should be the most famous athlete in the United States, if not the world. He's the Sportsman of the Year, for sure.

he is a prodigy

Making Many Folks Happy is How We Play This Game of Life!! There Are Many Who Have Learned Less; There Are Many Who Have Learned More; There is Always Always Always Something to be Grateful For!! We. Love. You. Lots, Precious. Heart!! You Shine Bright!! 💛💛

Simply amazing my new favorite player

My son asked me when was the last time a pitcher hit this many home runz? I said 100 yrs ago.

how can you not love this guy !! great vid !!

If Mike Trout can come back the Angels could be dangerous

IMO the best thing about Shohei Ohtani being compared to Babe Ruth is it serves to educate younger generations and those baseball fans that are unfamiliar with the absolute greatness of Babe Ruth . I hope Ohtani's health improves and he can have a career as long as Ruth's. If Ohtani's arm issues aren't resolved soon, I hope he is moved to 1st base, or possibly the outfield, if less use of his throwing arm is enough to resolve his issues. He clearly has the speed of a great center fielder. If you're not familiar with Ruth, research and read of his childhood, and growing up in a Catholic orphanage. It is a great read. Barry Bonds leads MLB in homers with 762 over a 22 year career (AVG homers/season=34.6). Hank Aaron is 2nd with 755 homers over 23 years (AVG homers/season=32.8). Babe Ruth is 3rd with 714 homers over 22 year career (AVG homers/season=32.4). It MUST be noted that Babe Ruth was primarily a "pitch only" for the vast majority of his first 5 seasons, so if those 5 years are deleted from his batting stats he would of averaged 40+ homers per season, OR had he hit regularly in the daily line-up during those seasons and averaged 40+ per season (42 is a more accurate #), he would be projected to hit b/t 880 and 924 over the 22 years! In the 1918 World Series Babe Ruth won 3 and lost 0, as pitcher with 29 &1/3 scoreless innings, of which one game went a WS record 14 innings (Boston w/Ruth on the bump eventually won 2-1)! With the above having been said, let's not crown Ohtani just yet, but I'd love to see him go off the charts, like Ruth did. In Ruth's "day", he had NO EQUALS. Before any of you: "consider the era of baseball" ("era" as in time, not ERA as a pitching stat) get started, remember this: "everything is relative" per Albert Einstein, so don't start with the "Babe Ruth couldn't touch today's pitching," type crap, save both our time, and just don't. LOL

And just 10 days after this video he's got an extra 10 hr. After seeing this video I understand why I never heard of him before now. I hope he can stay healthy.

He is not the next Babe Ruth. He is the first and only Shohei Ohtani.

This kids got it all. Perfect swing like a perfect golfer. Hitting balls from all angles. Pitching is super powerful. Great form and you can see his development get super good. Man he runs like a deer super fast. Always been an angels fan and I'm so happy for them getting him. Hope he stays healthy baseball can wear on your body and at his pace that's my main concern. He's definitely MVP hope he's has a long career. I saw Sandy Kofax throw a perfect game when I was in little league. The opposing pitcher threw 1 hitter

I love watching this guy. He is unbelievable.

Great depth of sharing! Please shared more video like this one! Thank you!

wouldn't surprise me if this slowly becomes the norm over the next 100 years. just like the nfl quarterback evolved into a pass/run hybrid, the rise in athleticism all over the globe is going to lead to more and more people who are capable of this

Thanks for the video. I couldn’t be happier with what Ohtani’s doing.he’s the most exciting person in sports right now

Great video man I just barley started watching baseball again after a long hiatus this video was informative and well done. Ohtani is amazing.

He's a special player, and it's great that he is putting up such awesome stats. BUT, baseball is a team sport. He can't do it all himself. If he doesn't have other good players around him and good coaching, Babe Ruth will always have one thing Shohei Ohtani doesn't - multiple World Series championship rings. Mike Trout is also great, but he'll never have a ring either because he's on a perennially mediocre team with no apparent desire to get much better.

great video! keep us updated with another version of this video as the season progresses. hope this channel has an explosion of success, keep it up!

"He got swole, partly to last the full 162-game season, and partly to fulfill his destiny of becoming a model" JAJAJAJAJAJA 10/10 video!

I'm a simple man. I see Sho. I click.

this makes me so happy to see, i hope this guy becomes a legend someday

I’m not an Angels fan but all baseball fans are witnessing something special with this dude.

this was a very well delivered video. your narrating had me locked in the whole time. good editing as well. loved it.

Amazing video, love ohtani. Great reminder for us to appreciate what hes doing and his greatness while its happening

THANK U FOR VIDEO! GREAT

This kid is what baseball needs. I hope for his sake his body doesn't fail him

Thank you !

Babe Ruth reborn as Shohei Othani

I don't follow baseball, but this Shohei Ohtani is something else. WOW!

Great video & thank's. This is pure ALL-TIME, LEGENDARY things this man is doing. Nobody CLOSE to doing this since The Babe. The man is only f'ing 26yrs old .. lol. Once in a lifetime. I pray the kid's really understand.

Your channel has a bright future ahead. Keep it up

This channel is going places. Great analysis. Keep it up. Subbed.

Ohtani single handedly got me back into baseball

I dont even watch or play baseball, but I've been binge watching baseball videos since 2pm. Started with the Greiski guy that is the weirdest player ever and now I am watching this cool guy. ⚽️⚾️

What a good vid. You deserve ALOT more subs. You will blow up soon

Great content, man. Thank you

Lets see if you can keep it going. One thing is started out great. Another is staying great!

Your video would be incomplete if you didn't mention the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck the northeastern region of Japan in 2011, and the uniqueness of Shohei Ohtani. Shohei Ohtani, a native of Oshu City, Iwate, was 16 years old when the disaster struck as a freshman at Hanamaki Higashi High School, and his teammates lost their homes to the tsunami. “I want to give hope to those who are in despair by playing baseball." This is the reason why he is playing two way, rather than being evaluated on his performance by numbers. Now, the United States and the world are in the depths of despair due to the pandemic. This year, he is willing to work harder than anyone else and is playing baseball in order to give everyone hope.

Great job on the break down! Keep up the great work!

Great video! I hope you find success on this platform...

I've been following Ohtani's career over the last four years, he's a great talent.

I’m blown away but what we are witnessing!

I’m so blessed to witness this.

Love the commentary

Shohie like Kobe in Basketball. I do missed Kobe Badly

Great video

Excellent video, bro. Informative, non-annoying background music, good clips/transitions, smoothe voice. Sub’d!

Thanks for this. I don't watch baseball so I didn't know why everyone was talking about ohtani

Came here because of his 33rd moon shot! Kids a beast!! Wow

great video, not mad i spent 12 mins of my life watching it

Y would people dislike this video?!!!? It's amazing!!

He cracked a 463 ft homer today. I don't even watch baseball until playoff time. But this dude is making me watch him play. So take that for what it's worth

These videos are great. Had to give a sub to you.

Tied for 1st in HR now.

its crazy he throws right and bats lefty

Just hit his 32nd home run this year

If he stays healthy he cud be hall of fame! Cool Video👍

Great video… back round music made me want to poke my eyes out!!! SERIOUSLY!

So much respect for Shohei Ohtani! Great report, but please--the background music! Love ya Ohtani! Signed ... Mariners fan.

Even if his run is short it is still incredible, we don't see players like this because of junior development, outside of little league great hitters regardless of arm strength typically get pushed one way or the other and it continues the older they get...it's miraculous he stuck to his strengths and basically best the system

Nice "catch up" video for those wanting to find out what Ohtani is all about. Thanks. *repeating music is bit sharp on the ears, tho. :)

angels in the outfield

He's like the real life "Goro shigeno" from Major

I know one thing, Japanese players always have a great leg kick at the plate.

I’m not an Angels fan but even I’m tight about how much this dude gets injured lol

Love da vids

wow love this guy!!!

I feel like you could have waited for this season to end to make this video. He's defiantly done a lot in the past couple weeks making him look even better.

I ❤️ Ohtani

MVP

Good video on a great player! I have to say though, with headphones on, that background music made me cut you just a little short, but I'll be watching for your content.

I've been in Europe for 32 years but grew up in Boston as a red sox fan way back in the 60's. Haven't seen any baseball in all those years as it is completely unknown, not sure why, in Europe. Until today I had never heard of Ohtani. He is certainly the most versatile player I've ever seen but couple of issues remain. His various injuries can be handled now because he's young and elastic but down the line, depending on preparation etc, that stuff will show up more flagrantly. Hope not, we'll see.

This kid is amazing

America is about to hear about a NEW baby Ruth. His name is Ken Criswell and this guy is UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can't wait to see him next year.
