What MLB Players Really Think Of Shohei Ohtani? 

wow that is insane i have the upmost respect for you as that kind of dedication is really hard to achieve

I'm a 77 year old and have been a Yankee fan since I was 7....I can unabashedly say that Shohei is my favorite player...I, of course like Aaron Judge, but he's got no Personality as he cannot accept any compliments for his prodigious accomplishments...it gets annoying after a while....

He also played the outfield in Japan, don't be surprised if one day he plays defense as well.

@@jeffw1390 pretty sure he played some outfield last year. The dude is a freak of nature. We’re lucky to get to witness.

​@@stephenmaniloff437470 years a Yankee fan? Shame on you sir!!!! Do you remember in the 90's when your fans were throwing D batteries at Griffey Jr while he was in the outfield? Maybe you were one of those fans? I've saw plenty of Yankee fans online, spoiled brats that think they deserve a world series. Maybe that's not you but I've saw plenty of them. I'd be ashamed to be a fan of that team...... The Mariners suck but at least we as fans don't try to hurt players from other teams. Yuck the fankees, I actually dislike them more than the Cheaters. All because of you fans.

NBA fan ? With these divas jumping teams . Nba is not ingesting anymore . But yea I only tune in mlb for Shohei

Lol i watch the exact same sports as you too and i only come to see shohei highlights for baseball. Pretty amazing stuff

@@BentleyVB funny you say that because when a GM does what he wants it’s considered a “buisness” but soon as a player does what he wants with his career they’re “divas” 😂 tell me again how that takes away from casual games?

Baseball is life

I’m glad your comment as a Japanese. I like boxing too,do you know Naoya Inoue?p4p ranker. This is a monster …(Mike Tyson)

Awesome comment - you remind us long-time Angels fans why we stick with this team and how fortunate we are to have Sho-Time

You’re probably Asian 🥴

"Best athlete" only an American would say this 😂😂😂. There are more sports than Baseball, Basketball, American Football and Hockey. All rounders aren't unheard of in cricket for example, plenty of MMA fighters who are as good on the ground grappling as they are on their feet striking, there are athletes that have transitioned between professional sports with ease and have continued competing at elite level, and let's not forget about triathlon, pentathlon and decathlon athletes.

The fact that there are many all rounders in cricket and mma make him even more special. The fact there is no one else doing what he is. There is only one guy in who can do at the highest level of baseball, the only one guy that's doing both shows how hard it actually is and the fact that he's doing extremely well in both just shows his calibre

投手がどれ程の体力を使い、どれ程の休養が必要なのかを知らずにコメントしている人がいますね。

Best 24 hour stretch in baseball history. You’re so lucky to see that in person. I was glued to my phone and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

@@JurrasicPork Well said. The best back to back performance in the history of the game.

A European watching an Asian man play American sports! A beautiful cross-over!

amen. @@skittles2

Shohei is inspirational

Compared to jerks like the late Yordano Ventura Ohtani is a Saint.

Japanese people are so kind and caring. They show great respect towards others. Great culture!

@@D3L3T3 And even among the Japanese people, he's the remarkably humble and nice person. Especially, even at the moment that he is a super star not only in domestic but also worldwide ever!

Agree. Sport players should show their ego less and acting more like a good example to kids.

Do you have new Dodgers hat and ohtani jersey🎉

Sho-time's steadfast humility embedded in the Japanese culture has nutured a teachable and coachable spirit to help grow and develop extraordinary skills in every area of his life. He's the face of MLB, sponsorships, community, a role model, and what the world needs more of ⚾️❤️🌎

@@kellycarmona1737Shohei is inspirational

He also attracts non-baseball fan to watch & interest in baseball.

Wow you've seen so many legends, glad you got to see Shohei

Idk if he’s a top 5 batter

@@Superman30970He is currently.

#1 batter, top 5 pitcher

Ohtani is the pride and hope of Japanese

There's a reason writers wait 5 years after a player retires to decide whether or not a player is a HOF'er. I don't see anyone anytime soon replacing Babe Ruth as the goat of all professional sports.

@bone-snypa Ruth was bigger than Jordan, Montana, the patriots qb, forgot his name, oh, Brady, Nicholas in golf, etc... Go look at Ruth's stats, both hitting and pitching.

@bone-snypa You might just be an idiot! How was your batting average fool?

@@jubgpodcast It is Babe Ruth because it was a completely different time then and this kind of thing was much harder to do and Babe Ruth was the only one who was doing it. I love Shohei and I call him the Babe Ruth of now.

@@jubgpodcast Trust me no one is a bigger Ohtani fan than I am ! However... Babe did it first. Doesn't matter how many times. The person who creates possibilities is the one who sets the bar for the culture, and therefore, he must be honored.

ruth never got to play the very BEST athletes, ohtani is levels above ruth

@@raarrrmagicat2354 nope SEGREGATED leagues dont count

@@rebeccaholsonback1538 You can’t compare the early 1900’s when Ruth played and today…100 years later. Remember Ruth hit more homers than TEAMS each year. He was one of a kind. He could have definitely pitched and hit at elite levels if they would have allowed it. They are both great players in different times. Ruth WAS baseball. Ohtani is carrying on his tradition.

Ohtani was an excellent outfielder in highschool years as well as in Japan's professional league. He is electric, fast responsive, and has strong arm to throw all the way from outfield back home like Ichiro (check RU-vid videos for Shohei's highschool and Nippon Ham/Fighters' outfielder clips) . During pitching, Shohei's defensive plays and quick responses show that Shohei can transfer immediately to be the best baseman once he leaves the mound. HOWEVER, once Shohei got injured at outfield and that stopped him from pitching for a number of games. The Japan Fighters' coaches shut Shohei down from outfielder's work since then (because Shohei was seemed as one of the biggest Japanese treasures in human form and any injuries or failures in training occurred during playing in Fighters would be accused seriously by the Japanese public and the coaches had huge responsibilities in keeping Shohei in good health, though Shohei still got some major injuries at the end).

They probably don't want him to just because they don't want him blowing out his arm with some long throws.

He did play right field last year 2021 on the same day he also pitched

@@jasonthemagnificent2.0 Ohtani did at NL but the coaches ordered him not to do much and other teammates were so scared 😨 of him getting hurt that they tried to cover for him more and was kept watching Ohtani afraid of him getting hurt. So you can't really see the real great 👍 outfielder Ohtani like in Japan's videos.

@@boroughmanager7067 Ohtani is a very good singer and has a very beautiful singing voice. He sang songs for Angels teammates when they were traveling in bus long time ago.😉 Ohtani is also very good in dancing, he copied the M J backsliding dance at Fan's Service Performance stage.

@bone-snypa Do you watch actual baseball game? Or you just fk around on the internet?

@bone-snypa 30 hrs and 10 pitching wins in the same season is a record. They'll be more.

@bone-snypa I’m thinking about what he’s doing from both sides of the game. I get your point though. I think the most overlooked period of greatness was when Rodgers Hornsby averaged over .400 for 5 straight seasons. Now I hear that Cease has given up 1 or less runs in 14 straight games. A MLB record. Baseball is amazing.

The guy doesn't take ANY battling practice because he'll be too tired to do both. Imagine if he dedicated all his energy to just hitting ... He's a way better hitter than you think ... just like he's a way better pitcher than you think ...

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu I was wondering what this guy was trying to say as well. YOU hit the nail on the head.

@@louismeloche3857 He thinks Ohtani is average. Not a good hitter and not a good pitcher.

@@Mwoods2272 thanks, my question was rhetorical. I'm sure he'd be playing if all he did was hit or only pitch. Do you think he's just so-so ?

@@louismeloche3857 My bad, I think Ohtani is a once in a lifetime player. It's been almost 100 years since we have seen a player like him and maybe won't see another for another 100 years.

Glad you enjoyed it Kevin! Really happy to be seeing him play. ⚾🙏

Arte Moreno doesn't care to spend money on pitching. And he spent money on stars who were not deserving of it. Ie CJ Wilson, Josh Hamilton.

Don't forget, they got Rendon too.

@@cbone1982 nice hater reply troll boy. Did you forget he can pitch too?

Glad you enjoyed the video 5loths and thank you for the feedback, this will help us improve the quality for you. You're a champ! 🙏⚾👊
