Shohei Ohtani single-handedly rewrote MLB history
Переглядів 63 тис.День тому
This season, we witnessed baseball history when Shohei Ohtani became the one and only player to ever hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season. It’s easy to get used to Ohtani’s greatness - he's been so great, it’s easy to lose just how historic his accomplishments are. So, I want to put his greatness into context and help you understand the historic accomplishment of his 50-50 sea...

Worldwide, Formula 1 is the most prominent racing sport, and it's not close. But in America, we mostly preferred NASCAR and IndyCar. In recent years, though, this is changing. But why?

Except. On a cold night in Minnesota in 2018, we saw the old Derri...

Chris Moneymaker at the 2003 WSOP Main Event
Take everything that’s wrong with main streaming services like Netflix, Disney, HBO, multiply it by 100x and you have an idea how stupidly broken and overpriced this system is. Not much else to say really.
what is the website at 0:39 called
Your video is also insane. GOAT! Hahaha I used to be a big baseball fan about 10 years ago. Now Shohei Ohtani made me come back to watch baseball again.
Shohei is all time incredible but I think we're a bit in the moment. Barry Bonds 1996 season was better (this was well-before the 'alleged' roids seasons, in fact him not winning MVP this year and then the media attention of Sosa and McGuire 2 years later is what many suspected drove him to 'alleged' steroids use.) Yes Bonds only hit 42 home runs and snagged 40 bags that year, but remember that stealing bases is significantly easier now which is why totals are way, way up. The pick off rules and the larger bases give base runners a massive advantage. Its not a coincidence before these changes Ohtani's high was 26 and he was caught an abysmal 10 times to do it. I am not trying to discredit Ohtani, I am just saying "Ohtanti stike 59, Bonds stole 40, Ohtani was better" is not the full story. Now as for the home runs, sure Ohtani hit 12 more home runs, but he also was in a loaded line up, one that allowed him to rack up 731 PA to Bonds 675. Bonds was also intentionally walked 30 times to Ohtani's 10. Then we get to the biggest reason, Bonds was pitched around at a level Ohtani could not fathom. Ohtani was walked 81 times, Bonds was walked 151 times. He also only struck out 76 times to Ohtani's 162. I am not going to run through all the analytics but they all support Bonds' season as well. My final point will be defense, not only was Bonds better on offense that year, he was a gold glove defender and arguably the best outfielder in the league. Again, I can hear the angry typing this was PRE-STEROID Barry Bonds. Not even Bonds most ardent critics allege he was using in 1996. The consensus is the 1999 season when he was returning from injury and livid about Sosa-McGuire. Shohei is all time great, one of the best ever already and usually you have to factor in his pitching, but he did not pitch this year. So as far as "greatest season ever" that I keep seeing, I don't see any legitimate argument this season was better than 1996 Barry Bonds. Why did I pick 1996? A few reasons 1) It was pre-steroid. 2) 40-40 connection. 3) It was Bonds 4th best season of his career at that point...... which means Ohtani's season would have been pre-steroid Bonds 5th best season of his career. Let's not get carried away.
It is easier to steal now, but the argument can be it is harder to hit more than ever due to improved pitching (more elite speed and spin, reliever game versus keeping the same starter in longer). But the main argument for ohtani over anyone else, including pre steroids bonds, is he pitches at elite level too which trumps gold glove fielder easily. So if 50-50 doesn’t do it for you, what about his other 2 MVP seasons doing both pitching and hitting? He also has a few prime years left so let’s see if he can do even better.
Is it just me or does it seem like he deservingly admires his home runs a bit longer, but nobody really says anything about it and he doesn’t get thrown at?
Sports was actually training for war before anything else, it became entertainment afterwards
Compared to when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's the broadcasts are terrible. The annoucers aren't as good. The focus of the boradcast is the commercials while the game is something that seems to get in the way of these networks showing endless commercial breaks. These leagues have no problem pushing their unwanted liberal politics on people. Now to top off they are putting these streams on as many different streaming services as possible and then blacking games out. Pirate streams are really the only way to go. These leagues have created their own problems by biting the hand that feeds them.
As long as 50% of people watching through pirated sites aren't arrested, I'm taking my chances.
Shoutout jomez pro, couldn’t believe they were 3rd party
Great video!!
As of today, R.I.P. Methstreams/Crackstreams
First in major league history 54HR's and 54SB's Why does it have to be 50/50? The whole point of this record is to show equal amounts of hr's and sb's
54HRs - 59SBs - 2024
Pro sports: A scam within a scam within another scam wrapped up in a corrupt betting hat. Not even worth pirating.
i have never given a shit about bowling until today !!! this is so well edited and your writing is amazing!!!!
2nd
Corporate greed
This channel will have 100k subs by the end of 2025, throwing that prediction out there now
Glad to see another upload, your channel is about to blow up I swear.
Thanks for the support, Joel!
1st
The best ever.
I remember every major football league and cup used to be on the tv in Finland, then only one Champions League fixture per match day, now nothing. Obviously I will watch illegal streams.
This is a video made for Niklas Levinssohn
You mean Goat excluding the playoffs? You usually shine make your name in the playoffs. He was goodnt when it counted..
0:20 I’m taking issue with this claim. Used to be you had 3 channels and could watch you local sports teams only unless it was a huge game (or Notre Dame).
Joe Jackson and Pete Rose had record breaking careers and were both kept from the Hall of Fame for gambling concerns that pale in comparison to Ohtani's million dollar bets. Although I think Ohtani is a unicorn due to his skills, I'm concerned that if he continues to get LBron James style preferential treatment attendance will decline similar to the NBA's. If he was treated the way players historically get treated, he never would have stepped on tbe field to accomplish 50 50.
If a city has a population of 100K people and the stadium has a capacity of 40K seats, how are the remaining 60K people going to watch the game ? (When the game is blacked out)
I can’t believe no one’s ever said only 45 people have hit 50 home runs in a season … finally this quantifies the insanity
And Mr. Shohei Ohtani's 50th homerun ball is worth almost 4.4 million US dollars. It is now in Taiwan.
Im just comnenting so more people see this. Great video.
Bro can you not expose this plssss😢😭 good video tho
40-40 before ohtani were steroids users
1st season as a dodgers , made history and then win the World Series
Ohtani’s unprecedented record is totally insane. His talent is so inhuman! He is a gift sent from the baseball god. In my humble opinion, it will be very difficult for anyone to surpass him in the next couple of decades.🎉
Century
I remember not even being able to see this game because I was working a teaching job. The moment I finished the lesson I ran into the nearest pub and at that moment I saw torres skip past the keeper to score and the whole place exploded with excitement and joy. It was absolutely phenomenal…
Recently carragher admitted that Liverpool were concerned that Torres lost his confidence and was in a state of decline, which partly explained Liverpool’s decision to sell him at that point.
Not going to talk about him betting?
GOATAHNI!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!
NO FREAKING DOUBT, ANYBODY WHO DOUBT HE IS THE GREATEST IS BLINDLY JEALOUSE COUSE HE S NOT NORTH AMERICAN, TAKE THAT AS A LEASON LAZY PLAYERS HATE THE GAME NOT THE PLAYER JA JA JA AJ A
100k valentines day new prediction
how long have you started this channel I will be tracking it my prediction is 100k at july 4th 2025 approx idk ....... but I really like the quality already with only 5k subs I wanna see what it will become at 1m subs exciting !! great job lfg
50 steals 50 homers 50 K's next
Stealing bases were made much easier starting in the 2023 season, both with the limit of 2 step-offs by the pitcher per plate appearance and more importantly the pitch clock, which helps the runner determine when the pitcher will start his pitching motion. So no, Ohtani did not "rewrite history" - his dual abilities of high end pitching and high end hitting are much closer to singular.
lol my first Dodger game was on Ohtani’s birthday 2024. I was in town due to AnimeExpo and if that’s not great timing idk what is. Never would have I come near a game if it weren’t for someone like him to bridge my interest to baseball.
Great vid!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
I'm more of a dirt racing fan and Indycar fan but Bottas is so funny I started getting into F1 because we always in the US thought they were pompous rich dudes in F1 but watching the Netflix series people will realize they are wrong about that. I just got the F1 24 game and some F1 diecasts lol. Now I love F1 and I admit I was wrong. I already knew about Senna and Lauda. Really got hooked on F1 just this fall. The video game is very educational too.
I often use sites to watch. However, I recommend against using StreamEast as it's become overwhelmed by viewers so it's very unstable.
As a cricket fan, I started watching baseball highlights during the pandemic. It wasn't long when I found out about Shohei and the greatness that I was witnessing. Great vid Matt, got my sub and like!
