Ohtani is born for baseball. He lives a simple and humble life like a monk and engages all he has in baseball. Baseball field is his temple. If he donated all of his money someday, I won't be surprised.
I’m a woman in my early 30 who doesn’t follow baseball but just watch him play in Miami, it was so fun to watch that game! Had a couple beers and great show. I am definitely watching more baseball thanks to this great player. ❤ didn’t expect to be baseball fan and now I am haha 😊
he's a good player so i dont mind about his contract im just enjoying watching him and forget about the haters lol let the haters having a hard time to hate ohtani
The Angels organization will be forced to look back on this for eternity and realize they had the greatest MLB player ALIVE for the biggest contract steal and wasted all 6 of those years without a single postseason appearance. Historically pathetic 😂
It is but, they tried, angels dont have dodger money, or farm system And dont forget, the cheaterstros were cheating for all those yeears They had great teams, and cheated too But its still no excuse Angels pitching was whack Pujols was old Trout is overated Their new 3rd basemen got injured again and again Forget his name From the nationals But as a dodger fan, im happy, ohtani, yamamoto, glasnow, sasaki coming next year Thats gona be insane, bcuz ohtani will pitch again in 2025 1 ohtani 2 yamamoto 3 glasnow 4 sasaki 5 bobby miller 6 emet sheehan 6 man rotation To save arms for the playoffs And i cant wait to see yu darvish cry 😂 Hopefully the yankees get good so theres a afew dodgers yankees world series in the next 5 years
For Shohei to have his mom manage his money, that's a smart move. He would still play baseball and pour his heart out like if he had no money, and work extra harder than anybody. And he was living in the team dorm when he was playing with Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan, so he probably would be content to be living in a regular sized home, not a mansion - just with security to keep people away.
Lançar, correr, rebater, liderar, melhor que ninguém e qdo cair ou machucar, levanta e vai a luta é principal i grediente para vida de um atleta exemplar. Estamos vendo atualmente um grande campeão!!❤❤❤❤
I was stationed nearby Japan and got interested in Japanese baseball. It was a lot of fun, and the locals really enjoyed it. But you couldn't get Dodger Dogs!
Lots of people thought that 20 mil posting fee was a bad deal at that time. The Angels got a bargain for him with the production and money Shohei generated for that team.
I question how many team execs considered that a "bad deal". He was being followed for years by US scouts, and the competition was pretty stiff to get Ohtani for what would be a very cheap price when you add in the salary he agreed to and the ridiculous bargain he was until finally getting a bump in salary for his final year with the Angels. They got by on the cheap and benefitted in many ways, as you suggest.
I heard that when he was playing for NPB, he had his mom manage all his income, was given about $1,000 a month ($1=100 yen for convenience) allowance from her, which was still too much for him that he saved $20,000 in two years, meaning, he only spent $4,000 in two years!
“When teammates gaze with wide eyes like children & open mouths, you know they too have NEVER seen a player like him … PERIOD.” MLB Players … bat & ball sound. SHOTIME … wall & ball … THUMP!
One thing about the home that's being built for him on the island of Hawaii - the lot is just slightly more than one acre (maybe 1.1 acre). I think he needs a larger lot - there will be tons of tourists trying to peek over the fence to get a look at him. A larger lot would give him more privacy from all those prying eyes during the off season..
Great video ❤ You should have added the fact that on the day he did well during his Fighter’s career, he rewarded himself by stopping at Seven Eleven on the way back to his dormitory and bought himself a chocolate crepe ❤😂 He also ended up saving so much money even with a very little allowance from his mom basically he had nothing to spend on. 😉
@@MLBLifestyle Well, I’m Japanese so I probably have more access to the TV shows he was ever on. He was so cute and participated in many shows when he was playing for the Fighters. I have watched so many😉 I will post the link to a video. I’m sure you will enjoy it. 🥰
Shohei is a brand model for Porsche . He did not purchase that car. Also, he is a brand model for Grand Seiko watches, especially their limited edition. Again these watches were not purchased .
Even that Model Tesla X wasn't a luxury purchase but for purely practical reasons. Model X was first SUV to receive perfect crash test rating and is impossible to flip over, so he probably didn't even buy it for the 50 other reasons why you should get it but purely for it's safety.
lol he lives so modest that even after 2 luxury cars and maybe his house... he only really spent like 1 game check LMAO...... bruh is living his best life EVER!!! and his retirement is gonna earn more than Lebron and Messi combined.... absolutely insane!!!!
Ohtani (& his agent) are very smart ; the $800 million deferral also helps him avoid the ridiculous California State Income Tax; this is likely reason state of CA went after him for sports gambling accusations 🤔🤷♂️
If hes not the boss i can opt out.. Thats Flex . Hes the best man i haven't wathced or cared about baseball since my marlins won. But dude here the truth.
Stephen A this isn’t English class! I don’t care if you can speak or not if you can play you can play! This guy runs his mouth too much for someone who’s never done anything but talk down on people.
His contract does not have set in inflationary scalation clauses. So , in the way the US currency goes these days , he will be paid a lot less over the years , than the actual present value of his stated earnings. Also, I assume his compensation will be taxed at a whole lower tax bracket now. In 2035 , then it might be a different tax bracket. If he is smart enough with his money, then this might become a non issue. Thus far , going for items he bargained for , it looks like he is a level headed type of guy who got the right background.
Wait til they win world series plus his contract.Tickets wont be affordable and parking will be like 50 bucks.Fk that.I got a better seat in my living room
was hoping they'd show his ranch above l.a. and the beautiful horses and dogs and lizards and things. already knew he was good at baseball and had mucho bucks...
Noticed his Dodger uniform number is 17 and that was Carl Erskine's number with the team and has never been worn by another Dodger player as far as I know.
guy takes only 2 million a year so his team can pay other players better instead of taking all his money on the spot. how many other althelets in the NFL or NBA get that pay check then get lazy,fat and stop playing. OHTANI is a great guy from a country where there's still respect and honor.
I the dislike that people are saying the biggest contract in American sports history, he signed the biggest contract in Sports history, his contract is $26m more than what Messi signed in 2017, he just ain't getting paid 168m a year
It's insulting and pointless to have a brief clip of Stephen A Smith making a rude comment about Ohtani not speaking English as a detriment to the sport. That's not the only mistake and offensive thing in the video. For example, you say the Dodgers were "not prepared" to allow Ohtani to both pitch and hit as he wanted. Nonsense, the Dodgers were not able to give him that option because the National League didn't have a DH when Ohtani came to the US. The NL finally created a DH option for NL teams largely as a result of Ohtani coming to the US to play and wanting to give him a chance as a two-way player.
How is it not a relevant clip to play. Stephen A smith said those things and was widely criticized. He apologized later on. And it’s true the dodgers wouldn’t let him play both ways. Regardless of there being a DH or not wouldn’t change the fact. He could play right field as he did in the Japan league.
@@MLBLifestyle It doesn't fit the timeline or narrative tone, it seems to be inserted out of nowhere in a jarring way, and it's an ignorant random comment from SA Smith out of keeping with the positive approach of the video.

I think you're making assumptions without solid evidence.
The only reason I put the Stephen a smith clip in was because it was extremely controversial at that time. I was literally watching first take that day and I was astounded. Other people agreed and I thought it was a bad take. I included it to make people aware. As for the Dodgers, they scouted him more than any other team. They never offered him a contract and eventually Nippon Ham picked him up. Again they were not ready to let him play both positions at that time. He could’ve pinch hit or played right field like he did in high school or in NPB.

Didn't care about baseball in years, but when i see ohtani highlights, i click
Bottom line
I've never cared about BB, but if it's a once in century talent, I'm in.
Stephen a smith was wrong. Ohtani is bringing excitement back into baseball
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching!
Baseball is so fucken lucky to have Ohtani. When Ohtani retires, baseball willl be trash again.
Is He Playing in The Summer OLYMPICS 2024 or 2028
I don't watch baseball but here I am.
When is he right about anything?
Ohtani is a power house & this Fan enjoys watching him play. He’s such a humble Athlete
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching! We have a ton of Ohtani videos coming out!

He is a superstar and our Dodgers have him!!! So excited for his future!!! Go Shohei!!!!!🙌
Going to be a wild run!
Tall, strong, handsome, talented. Guy won the genetic lottery.
he's a good player so i dont mind about his contract im just enjoying watching him and forget about the haters lol let the haters having a hard time to hate ohtani
Stephen A Smith is one hell of a racist by hiding scorn behind stats and some unfounded accusations😢
Haven't you heard? Black people can't be racist!
Stephen just a total douche and racist when a non-black athlete invades American sport and becomes successful.
The Angels organization will be forced to look back on this for eternity and realize they had the greatest MLB player ALIVE for the biggest contract steal and wasted all 6 of those years without a single postseason appearance. Historically pathetic 😂
Fuck the angels👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Don’t forget Mike Trout
It is but, they tried, angels dont have dodger money, or farm system
And dont forget, the cheaterstros were cheating for all those yeears
They had great teams, and cheated too
But its still no excuse
Angels pitching was whack
Pujols was old
Trout is overated
Their new 3rd basemen got injured again and again
Forget his name
From the nationals
But as a dodger fan, im happy, ohtani, yamamoto, glasnow, sasaki coming next year
Thats gona be insane, bcuz ohtani will pitch again in 2025
1 ohtani
2 yamamoto
3 glasnow

To save arms for the playoffs
And i cant wait to see yu darvish cry 😂
Hopefully the yankees get good so theres a afew dodgers yankees world series in the next 5 years
to be fair he really bloomed in his fourth year
Right? Arte had him for peanuts and did nothing for the team! Ohtani wasted 6 years and nothing and being underpaid .... what a nightmare
And his home run was in his first at bat at home for the Angels. He just doesn't miss the moment.
He can’t miss 🎯
when all is said and done, he will be enshrined. the goat...

His deal with the Angels was a bargain.

@3.37 The prank to not celebrate in the dugout to ignore his first homerun in Angel's.
Loved that.
Classic
Dodgers just have the very best scouting system and it cannot be undone💪🏾
Hard to argue

That is correct.
He doesn't care about the money that's why it's so easy for his interpreter to steal from him cause he trusted him .
“When teammates gaze with wide eyes like children & open mouths, you know they too have NEVER seen a player like him … PERIOD.”
MLB Players … bat & ball sound.
SHOTIME … wall & ball … THUMP!
One thing about the home that's being built for him on the island of Hawaii - the lot is just slightly more than one acre (maybe 1.1 acre). I think he needs a larger lot - there will be tons of tourists trying to peek over the fence to get a look at him. A larger lot would give him more privacy from all those prying eyes during the off season..
oh noo... not the island that can go up like a matchstick....
Hope 🙏 Shohei's HI island property is Not in Puna aka Volcano flow area which is "why" land parcel lots are inexpensive in Puna!
I don't know what to think because each sport celebrity is different and have different preferences. He seems to have a healthy lifestyle
Stephen A. speaking on a non-English speaking player yet here he is speaks fluent English yet says nothing worth listening to.

Shohei is a brand model for Porsche . He did not purchase that car.
Also, he is a brand model for Grand Seiko watches, especially their limited edition. Again these watches were not purchased .
Fr. He doesn't like to buy things. Almost everthing he wears is from his sponsors
He's a simple guy, that's what I like about him...no gold chains, no fancy clothes
Even that Model Tesla X wasn't a luxury purchase but for purely practical reasons. Model X was first SUV to receive perfect crash test rating and is impossible to flip over, so he probably didn't even buy it for the 50 other reasons why you should get it but purely for it's safety.
