To witness Ohtani play is to watch a comic book character leap off the page, defying the confines of ink and paper, and come to life in vibrant, explosive brilliance, each game a living issue, a collector's edition, with Ohtani as the protagonist in an anthology of greatness.
Now that he's playing for a good team with good offense and good bullpen......I think he has an excellent chance to be first 20-20-20 player in baseball. 20 HR, 20 SB, 20 Wins. Or how about the first player to do 200-200......200 hits, 200 Strikeouts (as a pitcher).
His Cy Young award is coming within 2 years because the Dodgers is a Championship caliber team with a very good offense, not like like the Angels. The only obstacles to prevent him from winning the Cy Young award will be injuries. When healthy, he has a high chance of winning the Cy Young.
Oh my if he wins a Cy Young, he's the GOAT of all sports not just baseball. (okay and maybe a golden glove in a few years? he played defense in the past too)
People were arguing that Shohei shouldn't be the GOAT because he had not won a WS. Now he got one. I wonder what they'll say next. Maybe Shohei will get a few more to shut them all up. It's funny how critics say Judge is the GOAT over Shohei, yet Judge had zero rings and chokes in the playoff year after year.
@@mythictyrant3facts! Asian men are always looked down even if asian ameicans like Mike Chang (youngest GS winner at the French Open against Ivan Lendl and numerous GS finals afterwards), Timmy Chang (incredible NCAA football division 1 quarterback records for the NCAA and to the University of Hawaii and played professionally for several NFL teams), Dat Nguyen (top linebacker in Texas A&M history and played 7 solid seasons for the Dallas Cowboys), Jeremy Lin (only asian american NBA champion) and created his own fandom and brand called "Linsanity" that lasted almost a decade (2012- 2019), Nathan Chen (2x Olympic figure skating individual gold champion) and not ti mention international asian men athletes like Ohtani😊
*If* the Dodgers' starting rotation stays healthy, they will win 115 games. Shohei gave us an amazing season at the plate and on the bases. Next season, I am looking forward to seeing him focus on pitching. For that reason, I think he should go back to not hitting on days he starts on the mound.
What’s next? How about in one season for 2025: - NL MVP - NL Cy Young - All Star - Silver Slugger - Gold Glove - All MLB First (probably won’t happen, but will you be surprised if it did?)
It's amazing to think that Ohtani would have had even better stats had he remained 3rd in the batting order, just like Aaron Judge. Congrats Shohei !!! Congrats to the Dodgers !!!
I hope he is successful right away, but I think he needs next year to build up his arm again and then he can be Cy Young level in 2026. Cy Young is on his HS accomplishments list so I’m sure he really wants that. He needs to avoid injury though.
He went 34-16 with 2.84 ERA & opponents hitting .199 with the Angels for 74 starts 😂. He could've got more W if their bullpen didn't blow out his start. Seeing that shit too many times with the Angels he had to get a run himself to save his win 😂.
unlike some who may have bashed his WS/play off performance, i credit him for a decent start in his first ever post season appearance. Judge, while a great season player, has shown that he greatly under performs year after in the post. I hope Ohtani will go off in the post season in the future to shut up the haters.
This past season Ohtani decided he was going to tear up the base-paths and he put in the work to do it. You can bet your booties he's got a Cy Young in his sights and will anybody be surprised if he does it?
i've been playing baseball since 1889...& let me tell all u young bucks out there...this dude named ohtani...is by far the greatest player to have ever played the greatest game ever created...
What will Ohtani show us next? It's rude to ask! He will leave many records and memories that we have never seen before. A player who makes fantasies come true!📆💫
Do slight stretching for 10 minutes a day. Rest on 4th day. Stretch a little further. Rest on 4th day. Keep that interval for the rest of the off season with good cardio. The injured areas. And less mass on the body. He's strong but you can only stop so much mass until it feels off. Cause I've never seen a football player slide and stop
What’s scary he would have won most the games if he was pitching for the dodgers with LA’s run support. No question game over rest of the league. Imagine this pitching rotation
MLB should take advantage of the major marketing opportunity at their hands and collab with Krispy Kreme, because with the amount a glazing they are doing I think it would be a match made in heaven
as much as we want shohei to win cy young, i dont think dodgers will play him much as a pitcher. Dodgers are still stacked in terms of pitching and we need him more to bring in points rather than pitching. Mookie and freeman werent there half the time to help the team get points so yeah, ohtani was helping dodgers get points on board most of the time
Yup cy young is the only thing left to accomplish. Anything else is just perfectionist levels of insane already. As if what he is doing is not insane enough
Even if he stays healthy, Cy Young/20 wins will be very hard if they go to 6 man rotation. 32 starts vs 27 starts. Lot of no-decisions in the year may hurt.
Quick comment on the pitching staff, sign Max Fried and trade Glasnow. Glasnow is a 110 innings per year pitcher, if that. August 2025, he`s on the IL.
I don’t know. I think he should be your closer. You don’t want him to just eat up innings. And pitching 200 innings. But the next Mariano Rivera, maybe.
I'm not interested in projecting his performance but just hope he can pitch without any injury or setback in 2025 while continuing to hit with authority as well. That alone will be a thrill for fans. He's a lot of fun to watch when pitching, as I saw many times while following him with the Angels. As for the Dodgers' potential starters in the coming season, that's not too accurate. Dustin May is not expected to pitch until the latter half of the season, and his future is uncertain anyway. Bobby Miller was a failure this season, and I'm doubtful he will return to excellence as a starter. Gonsolin has been out for more than a year and is also uncertain, but maybe he'll come through. Flaherty isn't listed, but he would be in the mix if he re-signs with the Dodgers as I think he should. They really need at least one more solid starter by trade or free agency signing. And Kershaw has said he wants to pitch again, but I'm not holding my breath for him returning to form.
Don't think Shohei cares about winning any personal awards anymore, what's next? The next world series win and the next, and the next world series win, until Freddie, Mookie, Snell contracts runs out.😂

What's next for Ohtani? Cy Young award.
What if he gets a Cy Young AND MVP for his offensive stats in same year? Mindblowing...
@@katanoisshkiTRV wtf??!😀😃
@@cryptobill6188 The fact that he lets us imagine stuff like that…
Man he’s the great gift baseball gods gave to the fans.
I agree. Next season only pitcher.
@@katanoisshkiTRV reported as racism
2:14 He went 36-16 in 74 starts pitching for the Angels. Think about that for a second. He won half his starts playing for the Angels. Incredible.
That is the best proof that how good he is
He shouldn’t have lost some of those games also, his team couldn’t do enough to help him.
@@backinhighschool94 That was their point, pitching on the angels inherently means they aren't gonna give much support to win games
Sometimes he needs to provide a run himself so that Angles get the wins. Think about that for a second of how bad the Angels were during that time 😂
@@backinhighschool94 Yeah I remember the awful bullpen blew a bunch of his potential wins.

The Cy Young Award & 20 wins for pitching ❤
Will be very hard if they go to a 6 man rotation.
Oh my if he wins a Cy Young, he's the GOAT of all sports not just baseball. (okay and maybe a golden glove in a few years? he played defense in the past too)
He can win one as a pitcher too😅
@@pr_king2729 right but i meant if he wins a golden glove while playing defense it would be mind blowing, i just worded it wrong. i'm esl.

If Shohei wasn’t Asian they would call him the GOAT of all sports. Sad but true

If Manny Pacquiao was Freddie Roach can you imagine what they’ll call him 😂.

For that reason, I think he should go back to not hitting on days he starts on the mound.
September 19 is officially a Ohtani Day.
Wish he achieved the 50/50 feat in Sep 17, because number 17 is his number.
If he doesn't pitch next year. Triple crown in batting? Starts the 60/60 club?
Beats the single season HR record? Sky's the limit with his talent.
What’s next? How about in one season for 2025:
- NL MVP
- NL Cy Young
- All Star
- Silver Slugger
- Gold Glove
- All MLB First
(probably won’t happen, but will you be surprised if it did?)
he is the goat of the baseball. no more next ohtani thx.
Imagine a healthy pitcher Ohtani, but with the current Dodgers offensive output. Cy Young here we come.
How crazy is it to win an MVP unanimously but everyone knows that's still only a part of your peak potential
The scary thing is he’s getting better every year.
It's amazing to think that Ohtani would have had even better stats had he remained 3rd in the batting order, just like Aaron Judge. Congrats Shohei !!! Congrats to the Dodgers !!!
51 for that game. they were talking about that 6 for 6 historic game that ohtani broke many many records in
@@username-i8p6c You're right. I edited that out.
Triple Crown and Cy Young in the same year
You might as well go for triple crown on both sides, cy young and hank aaron and unanimous MVP.
Next up is a Cy Young Award and another championship 🏆🏆
if he was a mediocre pitcher and mediocre hitter it would be really impressive. the fact he's elite at both is incredible. hope he can stay healthy.
I want to see him win the Cy Young and hit decently.
But really show how good he can pitch
I hope he is successful right away, but I think he needs next year to build up his arm again and then he can be Cy Young level in 2026. Cy Young is on his HS accomplishments list so I’m sure he really wants that. He needs to avoid injury though.
Cy Young. His career is already top tier
He went 34-16 with 2.84 ERA & opponents hitting .199 with the Angels for 74 starts 😂. He could've got more W if their bullpen didn't blow out his start. Seeing that shit too many times with the Angels he had to get a run himself to save his win 😂.

we're gonna look back this season as the GOATED year for him. But who knows! maybe there's more surprise down the line!
This past season Ohtani decided he was going to tear up the base-paths and he put in the work to do it. You can bet your booties he's got a Cy Young in his sights and will anybody be surprised if he does it?
Cy young + 50 50 season + world championship ring
Ohtani almost won the batter Triple Crown(AVG, HR, RBI) in 2024. I’d love to see Ohtani winning Triple Crown for both Batter and Pitcher…
i've been playing baseball since 1889...& let me tell all u young bucks out there...this dude named ohtani...is by far the greatest player to have ever played the greatest game ever created...
Hes the goat.
9 more years!
Crazy to think that RBIs just became an official statistic in 1920!
50/50/50 next season 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@ 50 wins?
What will Ohtani show us next? It's rude to ask! He will leave many records and memories that we have never seen before. A player who makes fantasies come true!📆💫
Ohtani is always the first to do something. Expect the same in 2025.
Do slight stretching for 10 minutes a day. Rest on 4th day. Stretch a little further. Rest on 4th day. Keep that interval for the rest of the off season with good cardio. The injured areas. And less mass on the body. He's strong but you can only stop so much mass until it feels off. Cause I've never seen a football player slide and stop
Cy Young and MVP next year.
No-hitter and Cy-young please🙏
If that triple is bobbled for one second Shonei also hots the cycle.
What’s scary he would have won most the games if he was pitching for the dodgers with LA’s run support. No question game over rest of the league. Imagine this pitching rotation
The last puzzle Cy Young
MVP+CY+SS+GG in a season
Forgot one thing….WS
MLB should take advantage of the major marketing opportunity at their hands and collab with Krispy Kreme, because with the amount a glazing they are doing I think it would be a match made in heaven
Yes, definitely Cy Young!
as much as we want shohei to win cy young, i dont think dodgers will play him much as a pitcher. Dodgers are still stacked in terms of pitching and we need him more to bring in points rather than pitching. Mookie and freeman werent there half the time to help the team get points so yeah, ohtani was helping dodgers get points on board most of the time
FYI: Runs/RBIs, not points
Yup cy young is the only thing left to accomplish. Anything else is just perfectionist levels of insane already. As if what he is doing is not insane enough
Need a statue for shohei after he retire, but please not like the one for wade.
Cy Young coming 2025
I thought shohei had 54 home runs
He should be the first player ever to receive the best manager of the year award one day. 😂
Anyway do you want shohei starting a game or finishing it? Could be the best closer since Mariano Rivera.
i think at least 15 win & 30 HR is good
I heard he’s been taking reps for Stafford in Thousand Oaks …
FYI, 2024 season is half talent of Ohtani 😊
Even if he stays healthy, Cy Young/20 wins will be very hard if they go to 6 man rotation. 32 starts vs 27 starts. Lot of no-decisions in the year may hurt.
Ohtani will be on a pitching limit. Maybe in 2026.
WIN THE CY YOUNG
60/60?
Quick comment on the pitching staff, sign Max Fried and trade Glasnow. Glasnow is a 110 innings per year pitcher, if that. August 2025, he`s on the IL.
What's next? Hopefully a full time player who could play some defense.
I don’t know. I think he should be your closer. You don’t want him to just eat up innings. And pitching 200 innings. But the next Mariano Rivera, maybe.
Ohtani said if he gets one more surgery, he will convert to hitter and quit pitching.
I'm not interested in projecting his performance but just hope he can pitch without any injury or setback in 2025 while continuing to hit with authority as well. That alone will be a thrill for fans. He's a lot of fun to watch when pitching, as I saw many times while following him with the Angels. As for the Dodgers' potential starters in the coming season, that's not too accurate. Dustin May is not expected to pitch until the latter half of the season, and his future is uncertain anyway. Bobby Miller was a failure this season, and I'm doubtful he will return to excellence as a starter. Gonsolin has been out for more than a year and is also uncertain, but maybe he'll come through. Flaherty isn't listed, but he would be in the mix if he re-signs with the Dodgers as I think he should. They really need at least one more solid starter by trade or free agency signing. And Kershaw has said he wants to pitch again, but I'm not holding my breath for him returning to form.
Yamamoto has one of the better curveballs 😂
Ohtani has a better arsenal.
Look at that curveball Ohtani used to strike out Trout. That was so nasty it was like a Wiffleball... ;)
Yamamoto has 4 plus pitches but I do agree ohtani has better stuff right now
@@peejaygarcia9509That was his sweeper (horizontal slider)
No hit no run, Perfect game and first Cycling hit & Complete Game Shutout.
Don't think Shohei cares about winning any personal awards anymore, what's next? The next world series win and the next, and the next world series win, until Freddie, Mookie, Snell contracts runs out.😂
Stupid baseball question … Why is it more special because he was lead off?
Forget about Glasnow he's made of glass and cant make it through a season.
Whats next? Get this guy on the IL, pitchers gotta start hitting this guy!
are you stupid? must be a true hater want to someone got hurt.
Ohtani throws 100+. He can also throw at a hitter from the pitcher who hit him. Eg when Cole hit Devers, they tried to hit Judge.
@LL-tc1re his a little chineesse princess he won't hit anyone
Fffffff
Wow. Finally. Better late than never. I finally heard an American sports "whatever" state that Shohei is the GOAT. What's next?....shoulder surgery.
Nothing nobody cares about this Japanese
Well at least this Japanese is not an illegal immigrant and pays taxes.
