The dude swings so hard and generates and absurd amount of power. If you’ve never gotten to see him play in person, then I highly encourage you to do so!
@@smosmo4617exactly. Sports science proved its impossible to hit a 600 foot home run, no matter how strong you are, due to the opposite force of wind resistance being stronger, the harder you hit it.
@@JonahMarksMusic Ahah my bad, I'm terrible with remembering dates. I just remember the game going into extra innings, 11 I believe with the Angels sweeping us.
@@official_screwed_up_clicki was juusssttt about to say this post is CAP...Trout has been out for months....im a diehard Angels fan I follow their every move
@@christopherwayne5114bad with dates? Lol he hasn't played in over 2 months idc how bad someone is with dates they don't get 2 weeks and 2 months confused lol you got caught cappin' it's all good
@@dodgerkid05 Oh yeah, I actually forgot that Pops did it twice! LOL! Mark McGwire also hit one outta DS, but we all found out why 🤨 No juice for Reggie & Pops, just steak and tators 🤔...Well, for Pops away 😉
@@zachmacklin1290 Appreciating greatness and accepting that any human-even one as powerful and bat-to-ball skillful as Ohtani-hit a baseball 600 feet on the fly are not the same…
No way it went 600 ft!? Soon as it went thru the roof it wouldve lost just about all its momentum!? It probably ripped thru the roof..maybe carried a lil more in the air but it probably ended up landing on the roof after it went thru and then probably rolled down the rest of the roof!? Who knows if u were to het on that roof u might find the ball lodged up there somewhere!?.. depending if theres a lip on edge of roof that couldve caught it!?
If we could just get the LA and EV is would be a simple calculation… Everyone saying it’s too high of a LA just by looking at it…. You don’t know the exit velocity and he absolutely barreled that ball. Not saying it would have went 600…. But you are talking out your ass
Agree that the calculation would be simpler, but it can be approximated with some research and assumptions. Assume no air resistance, constant acceleration, a launch angle of 45° for maximum distance, and an initial height of around five feet at the contact point, since it appears to be around Shohei’s armpit. Input these values into Newton’s equations of motion, and show me how Shohei could’ve hit the ball hard enough so that it would’ve traveled 600+ feet unimpeded…and keep in mind that these calculations ignore air resistance and assume constant acceleration, which causes the results overestimating Shohei’s impact.
That ball may have traveled 475’ not 600’! Not that it isn’t possible but not at that launch angle in the Tokyo dome. If he hit it at coors field it might have traveled a bit further. Ohtani hit that ball probably close to a 40 degree launch angle. The only way the ball goes 600’ is if the NPB baseballs are juiced. I do believe they are slightly smaller but 600 feet means the ball landed almost two lengths of the distance to right field.
I guarantee that's not even close to 500 feet by Ohtani. among other things, just look at the trajectory form the camera angle showing him from the side during his swing.
Probably wouldn’t even been 450 ft. The right fielder was still giving chase before it went through the roof. Plus, balls hit down the line appear further than actuality.
Doesn't he currently use the rocking swing? I'd say 43hrs and batting like. 310 and being intentionally walked by the entire league is a sign of it working pretty well
Got called out i’m pretty sure, according to the stadiums rules if it hits the roof or goes through it is an automatic out. They have this rule placed in case of high pop ups or high fly balls that could be caught
@@UselessGOAT555 Because I think it should be a ground rule fucking double. Btw, I don't know what this video is anymore and I'm not going to look. Stop replying to old comments.
At that angle, no way that ball even went anywhere near 515, definitely not 600. If that was hit to centerfield, there's a good chance it wouldn't even have been a homerun. 400 ft. or so at best.
At that launch angle there is absolutely no way it went 600 feet. Honestly there's probably a chance it wouldn't even be a homerun if there was no roof. Shohei had a homerun with a 45° launch angle and 110mph exit velocity that went 374 feet. That ball definitely looks like it had a launch angle of more than 45°.
No way in hell that ball went 600 ft. Even in a regular stadium I'd be questioning a claim of 600 ft. but you expect me to believe the ball went through the roof and still had enough energy to travel 600 ft before hitting the ground. Not possible. That ball landeed ON the roof at some point much closer than 600ft then rolled off the roof the rest of the way.
