SHOHEI OHTANI, YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE! Ohtani strikes out 11 in 7 SCORELESS innings! (ERA now 0.64) 

yeah, I agree like how can you overrate someone who is the first of his kind, no one is even doing what he is doing. He is setting the standard for himself. Those people are just blind haters that think their opinions are valued.

@@rhylegonzaga they aren’t blind at all. They are keenly aware of what makes him different is also what makes them hate him 😬

People think he's overrated because they expect him to be hitting home runs like Judge, yet he's hitting over 30 HR a year and has the lowest ERA as a pitcher in MLB. He's the GOAT and lands a hit in almost every game.

😂😂😂 Overrated? After watching a lot of videos, and read a lot of comments, you are the only one mentioning it.😂

@@MrElpajita you haven’t read enough comments. Ohtani is so good the haters are out everywhere in full force. There’s about 1 overrated comment about him for every 5 good ones. People who haven’t seen him play are tired of seeing or hearing about him constantly. Just the way it is

the modern day Chuck Norris

😂

That last accomplishment is by far the most impressive. Also, you forgot that he threw for 4 TDs

Triple crown winner he isss

​@@JasonJia909 - I thought he ran for 4 TD's against Polk High

They just don’t want give the trophy to him every year, unless he moves to NY

it will be like that every year...Im a Cleveland fan, I can happily say I would love to see Ohtani win it each year, just give JRam one though lol

Writers are clowns and disingenuous that it's not Ohtani's to lose every year. What we are seeing is the 1% of the 1% best players in any sport.

Under Biden political world. Also Otani does not mind about it, he loves play in America now.

There was one other guy that could crush the ball and pitch but The Babe played along time ago

The most impressive part is him pitching in 4 days after his last start

His paychecks will definitely get a whole lot fatter by 2 sizes when his contract is up lmao

Also he is guaranteed to hit the ball (fouls or flyout) at least once within every game. There were missed homeruns but the fact that he can make almost guarantee a contact hit in every game and hit at least 300+ ft on a flyout is pretty good. Seeing other players miss the ball (no fouls, no flyout), literally can't even make contact against his pitch is another level.

*Yes, but can he juggle*

@@kevinqn3221 You know, I wouldn't bet against him being able to juggle tbh 🤣🤣

oh and did you know he was 14th in HRs last year?

@@kevinqn3221 He can be a master class in anything with a little practice and is now a zipper master.

Once in a century worldwide.

and Lionel Messi!!!!!

Don’t forget Tiger Woods, possibly the three greatest players in each sport!!!!

This man tried to slip in MJ in the same sentence

How you gone forget about Tom freaking Brady 😂

@@Loachie90 no he didn’t.. he DID.

they won't let him he's not american and he's asian

That's not unprecedented. Off the top of my head, I can remember Roger Clemens, Dennis Eckersley, Clayton Kershaw, and Justin Verlander all winning a Cy Young and MVP.

@@joneandi37 if he was white, he’d be the GOAT. No argument.

@@joneandi37 u talking about racism make racism relevant/a topic

@@Soulspeak24 u talking about racism make racism relevant/a topic

I bet I can do better

MLB players don’t like him, he’s turning their game into Rob Manfred's public relations circus. 🤢

​@@joshbildeaux6676 How are you so sure😮? Are you the insider of those players?

@@laliceswag4367 i wouldnt listen to him. hes clueless. salaries are going up cause of ohtani. similar to what tiger woods did to golf. what player wouldnt like that

It's fair. I hate the Dodgers but Freddie Freeman and Mookie are impossible to hate.

Too bad he won't win as an Angel

I know bunch of Yankee fans salty because he rejected them 5 years ago 😂 but judge was implying other day that he wants Ohtani badly

@@londzale3163 He rejected a lot of teams. I don't think any of them harbor harsh feelings about it. They all just want him.

@@londzale3163 Ohtani just wants to stay on the west coast because it's easier travel to Japan.

and nice swing for wallance

thank god, compared to tokyo NY is a 5th world country. he should visit some nicer places in the US

It's not that he doesn't want to tour around the city.... It's just that he wants to prioritize baseball over anything.

He should come see San Diego

​@SonicCollectionsPs2Noises Shohei is famous of building great human relationships everywhere he goes and everybody he associates with. Shohei jokes, plays, and laughs along with his international teammates, coaches, and staffs every day as well as his opponents. Shohei even talks friendly, always smiles and greets to the umpires while also responds to both sides of fans all the time. Of course, many of those people are Americans. Shohei didn't go out of the stadiums (not only Yankees but other visiting stadiums too) because he wanted to concentrate fully on baseball. In addition, Shohei is too famous especially for last few years, too many fans would follow him and he might get squashed by the crowd and media which Shohei always faced in Japan since his high school years (hundreds and thousands of people would gathered around him if they found him at the street). Did you see the huge crowd waited right next to the Angels bus in Ohtani shirt or carried Ohtani board for just having a glance of Shohei outside of Fenway park after the game? Shohei would definitely worry for any injury of people and traffic jams might cost if he walked in the streets of NY. (P.S. Shohei couldn't go anywhere freely in Japan for years since he became the super baseball star since high school. This year the police and transportation securities needed to guard Shohei from thousands fans and 200+ media when he arrived at airports and train stations in Japan during WBC).

​@@slleung8979 Thanks😊😊😊

Give this man a max contract

​@@mireiyokoyama1983You already know the padres are planning on doing that they paying everybody

@@mireiyokoyama1983 he should make at least 50 million per season

@@beazy7751 even more i’d expect him to make atleast 60-70

@@mireiyokoyama1983 there’s no max contract for someone like Shohei. Blank cheque. Let Shohei give himself the salary he think he deserves 🤣🤣

Ohtani enjoys playing baseball 🤣

So far he’s once in a SPORT.. who else pitched and hit like that at the same time.. the Babe didn’t even do it at the same time he was a full time pitcher .. this is a true anomaly ..

I love his curveball, I think it’s underrated and he can use it more often, but he does have many other weapons too

He has so many pitches and they’re all so good. He used his curveball quite a bit today.

@@wueevee3249 the great thing about using it sparingly is that he can catch batters completely off guard when he does.

Painted curve filth

​@@wueevee3249 curve balls is just to surprise batters by changing the break angles and the pace. You can't use them often, especially against good hitters cuz slow curve ball give them time to even adjust the bat while the ball's coming

It would be good to create the two-ways award. In the hope that new player will emerge.

Yeah he's the face of baseball right now

I've never watched baseball before. But I am now. 👊

He is the best player in baseball rn and for sure most valuable and unique as an elite 2-way player, but to be considered the best athlete he needs to win some world series or at least get into playoffs. He needs to join a team that has can actually win so he can truly build his legacy as the greatest

@@alexbro4187 Why does he have the highest total salary and the most followers in MLB when he has not achieved that? Why is he the only one rumored to have a $500 million contract?

The goat

Ohtani is the MVP of baseball. Not just MVP of the MLB, I mean, of ALL BASEBALL ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Ohtani is the MVP of all of baseball.

@@alexbro4187 If winning world series was a qualifier, then there would be PLENTY of Hall of fame level players who wouldn't be considered truly great given your views on Shohei.

He keeps this up, and they’ll need to rename the trophy after him. He really is on a different level.

He doesn't finish his starts..no complete-games in his MLB Career

​@@tommyriam8320 I think that it will be unrivaled if there is no limit on the number of balls. He also has high stamina and IQ level.

@@user-iz4gj5mp9f That is why the arbitrary and tyrannical rule of the 'sabermetrics gurus' is especially tragic in a case such as Ohtani's. The idiots running/ruining the game of baseball today treat Ohtani as if he were a child with the I.Q. of a turnip. It is disgusting. They have cost him so much already in terms of not allowing him to fulfill his extraordinary potential.

Can someone explain this in nba terms

We're filling up the stadiums to be able to tell our grandkids we saw Shohei play.

​@@heyhankcollectibles You are so so Lucky able to watch Shohei's games live in stadium 🏟️ so easily! Shohei's fans outside of US & Toronto can't take the empty seats because it costs too much for us to travel all the way from Asia 😢!

Butts in the seat means 💰 💵

He may not be back next year so better catch him on his farewell tour 🔥

Yeah!

1 lifetime probably not enough long...

Totally agreed

im with you brother... to me he his baseballs brightest star. For the sake of baseball I want him to suceed at whatever it is we are watching unfold. unreal

same but it would be different if the angels could actually hit more

Me too. My stomach got sick when watching the game live. So recently I always wait till the games are over, then I will be released if Shohei wins the games. It's always breath-taking the moment to find out Shohei's starting games results!😣

동감 나도 같은 생각 absolutely agreed

Babe Ruth: ty cobb

As Long as he stays away from roids, PEDs and corked bats then he should be set

@@loydkline nope.. MLB was whites only league during Babe Ruth's era.. Never faced tougher competition

😂😂😂

shows how intimidated the batters are, he has pros scared swinging at pitches out of the zone...

Even saying " one of the best " is disrespectful. Levels above , should win mvp every year as long as he plays

Ohtani not even in his prime yet 60hr 0.3 avr. + 20win era under 2 in the same season, not joking

Cole will faulter as he always does

Cole＋Judge＝Shohei Ohtani

​@ウォーカーカイル whoever is his agent will reiterate this to prospective teams. "I want both their contracts combined"- starting point basement in negotiations.

2021 HR race : Perez vs Guerrero vs Ohtani

That Tigers start he was ill.

Shohei had a miserable stomach ache and terrible throwing up that August morning before his start. Shohei actually could hardly stand at the mound. At that time, Angels was in losing streak. Even Shohei was terribly sick, Angels had no better trusted pitcher than a physical weak Shohei😭. So Angels still made Shohei pitched for 4 innings and Shohei still answered to US & Japanese reporters' questions regularly after the start even two huge dark shadows were under his eyes like a Giant Panda🐼.

Only "certain people" hate him. They have nothing to do with baseball.

If he wasn’t Asian he would be all they talk about but because he’s Asian baseball got more popular then ever cause now the world is following the Unicorn and baseball!!! I know I am!!!

*I don’t like him because my girl wants him instead of me 😢*

Yea many people still arguing between ronaldo and messi in european football, im just glad i get to see 2 goats in my era

@@KanetsuguNaoe1112 I think so. I believe true baseball fans appreciate him.

He said that he dreams of pitches and pitch scenarios at night… then just does them in the game 🤯

Well, Shohei probably would find some other new toy pitches in the middle of the season 😂, just like he suddenly invented his sinkers in the last few months of the season. Like he suddenly started to throw slow curves in the last few innings (pretty curves like drawing rainbows bridging upon the corners of the batting box). The batters had No data of Shohei's curve balls because he hardly threw them to strike out batters. Yet Shohei all of a sudden gave them many curves while throwing 98 four-seams, cutters, sweepers, and sinkers in between.The batters were totally lost and had no idea of what's coming next😂.

He has to pitch 7 innings to kinda guarantee a win for himself! Only way For Angels to win!!!!

He is so clutch when runners are on base. It's unbelievable.

Remember, he has been playing non stop for 7 days after flying cost-to-coast and last Boston game early morning in the rain when he was drenched!! He asked to go back to dugout but wasn’t allowed and freezing (40 degrees in rain) then play next day in New York then flying three hours time difference to punch out 11 and no runs in Anaheim…no days off!! He is a superhuman ‼️⚾️

凄い🤗

I bet other pitchers wish they struggled like that ! They're usually wetting themselves if they get 5 or 6 k's.🤣 That 71mph curve was extraordinary. The batter was literally bamboozled ! It came at him at shoulder height and ended down by his feet !

まさに日替り投球⚾️

日本人としてこんなにも光栄なことはないです。

He already has seven distinct pitches, causing hitters to flail at something they don't know is coming. But I too wonder why he hasn't developed a true changeup. However, his curve and his slider serve much like a changeup, each one a change of speeds and different movement. He can throw a 70 mph curve for a strikeout, looping in with 36 inches of downward break.

​@@surfwriter8461 I guess Shohei is still developing many more new pitches. In fact, Shohei said he actually started to throw Sweepers in Japan long time ago but the new official MLB baseballs made his sweepers even more effective than ever. I guess Shohei is continuing to invent many more new pitches all the time and he will show them to us when he thinks he needs them and manages them good enough for use like his sinkers. Shohei said there are many patterns of his sweepers and he would keep secrets of his patterns and ways of using them.

2nd with Ks

He would have be 1 if not for the rain delay though, but then again he would pitch tomorrow not today.

​@@n00btype 1st in AL

Has yet to finish one, single, solitary start on the mound. The game is *9* innings _not_ 5, 6, or even 7
