Shohei Otani. Imagine this man, who has had such great results this year just in terms of hitting and base running, pitching to Aaron Judge in Game 7 of the World Series to conclude the 2024 season, with a one-run lead in the ninth inning, two outs and a runner on first base.
If Shohei had entered the MLB immediately after graduating from high school as he had originally hoped, we would have seen Shohei only as a pitcher today. We wouldn't have seen Shohei as a home run hitter and a skilled base stealer, which we are now celebrating. Shohei himself intended to play as a pitcher in the MLB, and the MLB teams' executives thought the same. And he told the NPB teams not to draft him. Despite this, only the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters selected him as their first pick, but Shohei initially declined the nomination. However, the team and manager Hideki Kuriyama (who was also the manager of Team Japan in the WBC 2023) presented him with a detailed development plan and suggested that he would try playing as a two-way player, something that he himself had not thought about. Their enthusiastic persuasion paved the way for Shohei to become a two-way player in the professional league and made it a reality. Furthermore, the LA Angels accepted him as a two-way player in the MLB. And In 1921, manager Joe Maddon respected Ohtani's desire to "play every day as a two-way player", and removed the batting restrictions, giving him a freer environment. I can't express my gratitude to all of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!! Of course, I would also like to thank his father, Toru, and Hanamaki Higashi High School's manager Hiroshi Sasaki, who built the foundation for Shohei as a great baseball player, as well as his mother, Kayoko, his elder brother, Ryuta, and elder sister, Yuuka, who raised Shohei to be a kind and generous person. Congratulations to Shohei for joining first the 50/50 club ! ! ! ! ! （I used Google translation.）

Anyone who has watched that game from first pitch to the last one knows it's the greatest performance you could ever see from a doubtfully human being player
Shohei Ohtani will be the unanimously NL MVP, and it's not even close. There is absolutely no case for Lindor to be MVP, it's stupidity absurd and absurdity stupid. Lindor is batting .271 and has an OPS of .836 when was the last time someone won the MVP with an OPS that low? He is literally tailing The FACE OF BASEBALL in every offensive category, and it's not even close. As of 9-19-2024, Lindor is tailing Ohtani 29 RBI and it might even be wilder by the last game. Mookie Bett missed 3 months and two starting pitchers (Glasnow and Yamamoto) also missed two months, Kershaw was back and then out again. Miller and Buehler can't find the strike zone, and Freeman is there in body but his mind and spirit are with his son, Ohtani pretty much carried the Dodgers, and with some help from Teo, the Dodgers probably wouldn't be winning the division if not for Ohtani's offensive prowess (51 home runs, 123 Run and 120 RBI). The Dodgers without Ohtani would be fighting for a Wild Card spot right now and San Deigo Padres would be winning the division. Ohtani is MORE Valuable to the Dodgers than (or as much) to Lindor's Mets. DH can't win MVP? and yet a few pitchers have won MVP in the past, and none of these guys come close to Ohtani offensive prowess. If pitcher can win MVP so can a DH. This is the media baiting and selling the news. After today and Ohtani 51-51, there is NO CASE for Lindor to be the NL MVP. I would dare say Shohei Ohtani is the Major League MVP. The last pitcher to win the NL MVP was Clayton Kershaw in 2014, and in the American League was Justin Verlander in 2011. Kershaw was 21-3 with an ERA 1.77. Verlander was 24-5 with an ERA 2.40. I am willing to bet Kershaw and J. Verlander never hit a home run or stole a base in their MVP year. While pitchers are mainly a defensive position offensively they don't do much and yet two have won MVP in the last 14 years, so this absurd argument a DH CAN NOT be the MVP is kinda stupid in itself.
very strange game. Betts, freeman, smith and Teo they were all shut out but ohtani has been given all in the middle of plates and 6 gor 6 with 3 home runs and 2 SB.
Right now, Ohtani's videos have hit a total of *3.97 million views* today, not counting shorts. He’s literally carrying baseball-and MLB-on his back.🦄💨💨
MLB has gone so low to make Othani look like Superman lol They're literally throwing him pitches straight down the middle on purpose. While the rest of his teammates are getting premium pitches. And to make it even more obvious. The 3rd base actor literally hesitated to tag him out twice, on 2 occasions. Its so pathetic, they even gave him a free steal too 🤦 Any true baseball player would see right thru this Bs
He's probably a billionaire now. He's probably making 300 mill on endorsements alone. He's making dodgers a whole Lotta money. Even though he's a degenerate gambler, he's still making a lot of dough for the mlb.
At least Ohtani racked up more views in a single day than Judge and Soto could ever get in their entire careers. In MLB, Ohtani's the main star, and they're just the supporting cast.😂😂😂😂
Shohei Ohtani congratulations🎉
Ohtani has already become a legend for the Dodgers in his first year with the team. Absolute GOAT.
How lucky I am to be alive in this era.
The GOAT. Can't wait to watch him in the postseason
the best valuable baseball player in earth history
We have witnessed the greatest day in history. This player is a pitcher in rehab!
＼MVP／ ＼MVP／ ＼MVP／
Ohtani was MVP last year, this year, and next year too!
nope....shoehei the pitcher mvp next year.....he is much better than ohtani the hitter =)
何回見てもすげぇ！
I saw many times this historical moment
This the 9th time I watch it 🤣
Shohei Otani.

shohei Ohtani gave me hope a lot.I was crying a lot. he is superhero.I describe him one Word. he is hopeful.
The glaze on this guy is justified... 6'5 tall, boyish good looks, not a jerk, pitches and hits like a super saiyan and doesn't bet. 😏
Oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh he incredible

It’s a pretty accurate translation
Ohtani will become the first full-time DH to win MVP! 🐐
Ohtani usually refrains from hitting so that people won't know he's not human. Today he was careless.
Shohei left the 50-50 Club soon after he founded it😂😂😂
Shohei Ohtani
6 for 6
3 Homers
2 Stolen Bases
10 RBIs
Currently 51/51
What a player.
He was inches away from a triple and hitting for the cycle to go along w/ his record day.
@@LN004and feet away from having 4 homeruns.
GOAT
i'm so blessed i was born into this era of greatness. not just baseball but also across other sports. wow
Can guarantee they said the same 70 years ago. Imagine what they’ll achieve in 100 years.
It's Shohei Ohtani Day.
Damn what a game what a man

Lol doubtfully human being player
The greatest day in MLB history.
60-60 Let's Go
The guy is so freaking talented. Too bad it didn't happen at Dodger stadium. That place would of been rockin.
Congratulations to Shohei Ohtani on an absolutely incredible accomplishment!!!

Perhaps this is the most positive contribution Marlins brought to MLB in the last 20 years- being a part of Ohtani Legend.
If it weren't for a wild pitch that brought in Lux from third, one of Shohei home runs would have made it 11 RBI. Unreal .
メジャーリーグの歴史を変えている！日本人の誇り😢
大谷をPSに連れて行ってくれてありがとう
大谷選手の凄いところは、この終盤にギアをまた上げて来るところが凄い！日本の宝。
50/50 is incredible, only thing missing is a WS ring
Ohtani GOAT! 🐐🔥💯
Shohei TUFF!!!😤. Sugoi Ohtani-San⚾
This is amazing
Ohtani is 50-50, guards walk it off to clinch postseason berth, and dodgers show no mercy to do the same. What a day
He is GOAT
60/60!
Those lunatics who called Lindor and Harper NL MVP candidates should get their brains examined.👎🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
That O's walkoff got out by a whole 2 feet but it was enough
50-50 wow
I suspect that many of the game attendees were there to see Ohtani......
How many videos did MLB channel make about Ohtani on 9/19?
more than enough imo lol
Are we looking the greatest of all time
baseball day
俺は何回似たような動画見るんだ…
1:43 😂 cmon he wasn’t even trying to pitch 68mph
He was a few feet away from having 4!
10RBI？？？？
very strange game.
Betts, freeman, smith and Teo they were all shut out but ohtani has been given all in the middle of plates and 6 gor 6 with 3 home runs and 2 SB.
hey there's still a week to play, don't count out the 60/60 yet
Step aside Babe Ruth. shohei is the greatest baseball player ever.

Ohtani gonna get walked the whole playoffs 😆
The orioles won a game wow lol they like 6 games behind the best team in baseball the Yankees
👌
51/51 w 6 games remaining against Colorado 🤣
Yeah Ohtani was definitely out at that steal to third. If you do frame by frame he's out by a good amount. But yeah, he sells tickets I guess.
Right now, Ohtani's videos have hit a total of *3.97 million views* today, not counting shorts. He’s literally carrying baseball-and MLB-on his back.🦄💨💨
Better than lebron and he aint even pitching this year
忍不住已經幾十刷🙋🏻

Ohtani gets pitched to like a disabled ball player. No surprise he has 50 home runs. Or goes 6-6
この人には、超大型契約のジンクスとか関係ないんだなぁ
i waited years to buy a ohtani jersey because i aint wearing no red angels 😂 i knew he would eventually come to the dodgers , patiently waited

$700 mill
He's probably a billionaire now. He's probably making 300 mill on endorsements alone. He's making dodgers a whole Lotta money. Even though he's a degenerate gambler, he's still making a lot of dough for the mlb.
7億ドルは安かったか
比較するのはやめよう！大谷だけをみよう。
I wanna see that steal to third. That certainly did not seem safe...like that tag was down feet before he got there.....
so with 12 games to go, what are we thinking? 53/53 Club?
A lot of empty seats...
No one cares about shoei ontani hes overrated
At least Ohtani racked up more views in a single day than Judge and Soto could ever get in their entire careers. In MLB, Ohtani's the main star, and they're just the supporting cast.😂😂😂😂
Amazing accomplishment and no one cared
