Hitting average. Power. Bat speed. Exit velocity. Distance. Pitching. Ball speed. Running. Stamina. Baseball IQ. Mental. And even personality.. He is top level at every index of baseball.
I totally see your point but baseball isn't popular all over the world. And people definitely don't know of Ohtani outside of the baseball-playing nations (which are few)
@@aviralsharma2005 that can be the case. Like Americans think Drake is more popular than C. Ronaldo. But taking into account they alteast know C. Ronaldo which means he somehow influences it. Just like Ohtani, even many Indians know him, which baseball isn't even played in India. That is what I was eluding to.
I can't wait to watch Ohtani pitch next season. Whats most Incredible is in 2022 Ohtani won 15 games with a 2.33 ERA on an Angels team that were 72-90 and Shohe dominated the Houston Astros that won 106 games (4-0 in 29.2 innings with a 1.21 ERA and 45 Ks against Houston)
I try stupidly hard to imagine how hard what he’s doing is as in our life… It could be as if working as the Chief Operations Officer at McDonald’s HQ making tough decisions, having numerous meetings and biz trips all over the world but still having a 5-to-6-day shift working at a local McDonald’s to serve burgers and fries with a lot of smile, then awarded both as the best local employee and the Forb’s best executive of the year each year unanimously… impossible… how’s that?
That man is just built different, the Goat 🐐 Even on my Playstation video game of me as Shohei Ohtani with extra gold chip and points can't beat the real thing.
This video is historical, not current, and completely lacks the past year's performance except for a brief, vague reference at one point. Virtually all the video clips are from his play in Japan and then hs Angels career. While describing the highlights of his 2021 season, we're shown photos and video of him when he was a teenager and his play with the Fighters in Japan. It also uses a digital voiceover and graphics that are laughably off-base. (Ohtani had a batting average of "285" in his first season--no period in there as in customary. And phrases like "this would go without question" suggest it's coming from an AI composition.) I'm an Ohtani fan but have to cringe at some of the juvenile gushing and cheesiness of this video.
Ohtani next season I don't think he will go 50-50 but instead 50 and 20 (50 HRs and 20 Wins) Shohei won 15 games with a 2.33 ERA couple years ago on an Angels team that were 72-90, there is no doupt Shohei will win 20 games pitching for the Dodgers (As great as 50-50 Is with speed and power, going 50-20 is twice as greater and special with power and pitching that decides winning a game)
You make some solid points! Ohtani's potential for 50 homers and 20 wins would truly be something special, especially with the support of a strong team like the Dodgers.
Ohtani has to prove himself in the post season his numbers dropped quite drastically so far. Luckily the Dodgers roster is very deep, and now it is the biggest chance of his career against Judge and the Yankees.
Shohei could retire today and still be the GOAT. He doesn't have to prove himself. He has already given the world all the proof it could ever need. He is now with a team that has a good chance of putting some bling on his ring finger and nobody would be more deserving!
If his number dropped drastically, he must be from another planet because - He just set all-time franchise record by reaching bases 16 times in a postseason series - He is the most clutch player of all time by hitting .818 in his last 22 at-bats with runners in scoring position
I just wish Mike Trout could stay healthy, and the Angels could have built a real winning team around him and Ohtani. I would have loved to have seen that combo in a WS (unless it was against the Cardinals)
Um, in baseball one doesn’t express batting average as “x-hundred, x-ty, x.” It’s a percentage, calculated out to the thousandth. You simply say the numbers, “.323” you just say “three twenty three” for example.
My only comment is, every morning when people wake up, they should thank the baseball Gods that Shohei did not pick basketball, volleyball, soccer or another sport.
If Ruth were alive today as a 23-year-old, he wouldn't make it out of double A. Today's athletes are far more capable. DiMaggio, Robinson and Feller were probably the first true athletes in baseball.
Silly argument, always compare against your peers. It’s like Magnus versus Morphy in chess..By this standard, Bobby Fisher remains the greatest. Shohei be determined.
It remains undetermined because like Ruth, like Jackson, like Mantle, like Feller, and so forth they were a time and a place for their respective eras regardless of our speculations.
Oh please. He and Betts and Freeman went 0-for-10 against Yu Darvish last week. Ohtani struck out twice during that game. He's not superhuman, just a very good player. But he can be beaten, and Darvish proved it.
So it's almost an automatic double for the man. If you combine his extra base hits with his stolen bases it's way more than anyone has ever done. It's just silly
Othani is great. In my opinion Josh Gibson is the Goat. It's unfortunate and sad he never played in the MLB because of his skin color and the awful racism of his time.
Babe Ruth was living on off on cigarette, unhealthy food, alcohol and women. Today age baseball would kill him. He literally would rather give up baseball than have to give up those stuff. 😅
MVP: most valuable player. It basically means how much you contributed overall to your team over the course of 162 games in the season. The most outstanding player of the year. Dude did steals, hits, homeruns, get on base and high rbi count. So let me ask you what exactly did any of the complete ball players in the NL did so great constantly over 162games that made them deserve mvp.
DONT COMPARE THE GUY. BROTHER THROWS HUNDOS ON HIS RIGHT AND SWINGS THE BAT WITH HIS LEFT. WHO TF DOES THAT🤣🤣 AND HITTING BOMBS🤷🏽♂️ RUNS LIKE A DEER 🦌 JUST STOP IT ALRDY. 50:50🙂↕️
Bro. You're an Ohtani fanboy. No one has produced more offense than Babe Ruth. Ohtani's arm is already done and he will not reproduce Babes offensive numbers. This is just fanboy bullshit and Colin Cowherds job is to irritate people.
There have been non Americans in MLB for years … just look at all the great Dominican players, plus the occasional Cubano. They’ve been in the Bigs since at least the 50s when I was kid. So, it’s not a big deal. This is America. If you got the goods, teams will make you an offer.
There's some hater trolls saying Ohtani does'nt speak english, you know Ronald Acuna and Jose Ramirez does'nt speak english and has a translator also, Ohtani can speak english but he wants to interpret the words accurately and not misinterpret, than the hater trolls will ridicule what he said, either way the haters will try knock him, Sad.
Otani never gambled - he had his money stolen. How would you feel if someone stole from you - millions at that? You are just jealous and love spreading lies. Vicious troll.
Well, the difference is that Rose did indeed gamble but Othani doesn’t. The man only cares of baseball and nothing else. He has been cleared by several government agencies. With tons of proof his money got stolen from a old account he doesn’t even manage except by his interpreter when it was first created. So he must somehow be the greatest and most powerful man in the US if several government agencies vouches for him along with the bank and mlb while also able to convince someone to admit in bank fraud and risk decades of prison which would completely destroy their life and marriage. Even the US president doesn’t have that power and would envy him. The IRS and FBI must really fear the guy then to able to put everything under the rug. 😅
He's only lucky.. if he had grown up here in the US.. after HS ball he WOULD have been forced to give up either his time on the bump or hitting. Everyone celebrates him but the reality is.. there have been many that entered either the low A-Ball ranks or NCAA and those levels made the one dimentional. It was different in Ruths era because until the 70's, pitchers still swung a bat at all levels.. today, teams don't even want them to touch them. (I personally think we've lost something by the DH rule.). I still consider Ruth better because unlike Shohei... Ruth was one of the top 5 pitchers in all of baseball (the best in the AL.. )and when he started in RF he was hitting 60 bombs on fields that had coors field dimentions (without the altitude) and entire teams were not hitting 60... I've not yet seen shohei out homer any teams nor be a top pitcher... he's been good.. but not in the cy young debate good. Still, there are many good young players that enter pro-ball as 2 way players. rick Ankiel was one... but the powers that be don't want that. If we removed the DH rule, that would clearly slow that practice.. but it happens OFTEN.
Mookie has better 2024 playoff numbers though, in like 9 or 10 out of 12 different metrics with half as many strikeouts. Come on man, stop shinning this dude so much. He's a great player, yes...but the numbers don't lie!
You do realize he is also the dodger starting pitcher right?..he is coming off tommy john surgery rehab year..and he is doing this on a rehab year...there is no pitcher in the history of MLb is doing what he is doing ever..
Him and mookie has rhe same amount of hrs in the playoffs so far. He is 18/22 with runners in scoring position and was on base 17 times in the last against the Mets. He is batting leadoff. They are both doing great.
@@tchlinwhy would only postseason count? Did the 50/50 not have anything to do with the Dodgers getting to the postseason to begin with? On top of that he's the team starting pitcher. When's the last time you seen mooks pitch? There's a reason he's the goat, just accept it and move on.
Y'all wasting your time. Every milestone that Shohei pass they'll always be people like this clown with something else he's gotta do. It's how haters work.
Hitting average. Power. Bat speed. Exit velocity. Distance. Pitching. Ball speed. Running. Stamina. Baseball IQ. Mental. And even personality.. He is top level at every index of baseball.
His work ethic and focus is on another level
Dude was blessed by the baseball gods
You wrote pitching twice. ------------ Ohtani's running and stamina should be better than the muscle and belly-bloated players.
notice how others says how great he is. he doesn't make a claim
He has Ichiro’s calm. His swing meets the ball without chasing it.
@@yaakw Who?
Shohei can hit 50 Homer's and still pitch over 100. Dude is the perfect stat baseball player for a video game, but shohei is doing it in real life
You got a guy who makes Baseball famous again all over the world.
Now thats some other s**t right there.
He is just too good.
I haven't watched baseball since 2013. Now I'm back and it's my favorite sport again thanks to Ohtani
I totally see your point but baseball isn't popular all over the world. And people definitely don't know of Ohtani outside of the baseball-playing nations (which are few)

So glad i get to see this guy play.
Ohtani has to prove himself in the post season his numbers dropped quite drastically so far. Luckily the Dodgers roster is very deep, and now it is the biggest chance of his career against Judge and the Yankees.
Shohei could retire today and still be the GOAT. He doesn't have to prove himself. He has already given the world all the proof it could ever need. He is now with a team that has a good chance of putting some bling on his ring finger and nobody would be more deserving!
He’s been playing possum…waiting for the World Series.
If his number dropped drastically, he must be from another planet because
- He just set all-time franchise record by reaching bases 16 times in a postseason series
- He is the most clutch player of all time by hitting .818 in his last 22 at-bats with runners in scoring position
His numbers have dipped, but they have not dropped “drastically”
Judge dropped even worse than Ohtani. I don’t hear anyone mentioning that very much.
He's a Dodger now, did you know that? The whole 2024 season He's been wearing Dodger blue and now is in the 2024 world series vs the NY Yankees.
And just hit for 50 home runs this season
Right. But this video seems to have been made more than a year ago even if it was posted here a day ago. So it's right but out of date.
I just wish Mike Trout could stay healthy, and the Angels could have built a real winning team around him and Ohtani. I would have loved to have seen that combo in a WS (unless it was against the Cardinals)
He's the equivalent of Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl, constantly in beast mode when no one else has a beast mode.
Bon: ?
This video is like 90% you talking.
Ohtani is Messi, Ronaldo, and Sobers, combined!
Shohei has never said he wanted to be like the Babe he’s Shohei no comparison
To Apple 6708, Shohei shows superiority as a super sapiens: He should be himself: *Clean living,* making the baseball world proud.
Um, in baseball one doesn’t express batting average as “x-hundred, x-ty, x.” It’s a percentage, calculated out to the thousandth. You simply say the numbers, “.323” you just say “three twenty three” for example.
All the criticism good or bad only carries weight from players who played with or against him and from those who once played the game.
My only comment is, every morning when people wake up, they should thank the baseball Gods that Shohei did not pick basketball, volleyball, soccer or another sport.
Please make sure you double check your script. Its this year 2024, and he's on the Dodgers/not pitching 😭🤣
If Ruth were alive today as a 23-year-old, he wouldn't make it out of double A. Today's athletes are far more capable. DiMaggio, Robinson and Feller were probably the first true athletes in baseball.
So like today's basketball players,you are saying , Michael Jordan, Larry the Legend Bird, Magic Johnson can not play in today's NBA?😂😂😂
@@AlfredoRamos-ko3txnah, it would be more like saying Soup Campbell wouldn’t get to the G league. The 90’s is not that far away compared to the 1920’s

Wrong. Ruths whole training would reflect the times. He was a singularly talented athlete.
Need a bit more seasons under his belt. But he is well on his way to GOAT. If he gets another unanimous MVP this year, he is already going in the HoF.
If he doesn’t convert at least one Dodger championship in his 10- years tenure, there’s a serious problem!
.....Loading
just pitch around him like Bonds
Betts: home run time!
6:50 Oh, my, Lord! Look at the ears on that rascal on the left.
OHTANI #1!!!
Oh please. He and Betts and Freeman went 0-for-10 against Yu Darvish last week. Ohtani struck out twice during that game. He's not superhuman, just a very good player. But he can be beaten, and Darvish proved it.
With his deferred contract, pretry soon it will be "Ohtani day," dethroning Bobby Bonilla.
Looks like Bobby Bonilla might need to start taking notes on how to stay relevant in the deferred contract game!
MLB teams that would allow Shohei to hit AND pitch?...LA Angels only...Dodgers could've had him 6 yrs ago but thought itd be impossible
I finally realize how important sports (mini wars in arenas) are to the killer alter-egos of some men. and some women.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Imagine if he hit 50 HR's and won 12-15 games on the mound next year? Sheesh!! I hope some of you invested in his rookie cards! LOL
Yankee fans still say Aaron Judge is better?
It's always a heated debate among fans! Aaron Judge definitely has some impressive stats that keep the conversation going.
What about judge ?? Oh he jus hit HR 😂😂
To Rodnew Johnson, Ironic, Judge is another great Nephilim who came down to Earth.
Simple solution……..walk him every single time.
So it's almost an automatic double for the man. If you combine his extra base hits with his stolen bases it's way more than anyone has ever done. It's just silly
@@techluvin7691 He steals bases like crazy and has a great lineup behind him. His wheels on top of his stick make him a pitcher’s nightmare.

And he picks up trash in the dugout!
Comparisons to Babe are ridiculous.Sports science didnt exist in Ruths time...people are stupid as usual
Ruth on the front 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He isn't hitting and pitching tho..
It’s true, he’s focusing on one aspect of the game right now. Hopefully, we'll see him excel in both hitting and pitching soon!
