Yeah, I’ve been worried lately watching his actions after HR. He might get plunked. But I think he’ll be safe if he continue being dominate , cuz …he’s a Treasure of MLB. Even players want to see what he will do in a healthy condition.
I don’t know how he can not be MVP. He’s doing something nobody else does, he’s a very good pitcher and a phenomenal batter, it’s unreal. And I’m a rangers fan
@@Brixenja Oh yeah from that viewpoint most def. Just like Trout, Bux was in the mix - but a long term injury just ruins their chances. No doubt if Ohtani or Vladdy gets injured now for the next few weeks they would probably fall out of contention too!
@@lisandrojuegaymas73 tatis is literally one of the worst fielders in baseball with how many errors he commits 🤣 offensively he’s great but nothing like Otani who’s a complete player
You know we have a legit PLAYER on our hands who is great for the game itself when even "Homers" are saying "This is the only player I follow aside from my *blank*". If someone doesn't like Ohtani they're just haters. Every baseball fan I know, young and old, is excited to see this guy in top form in 2021.
Seriously, one of the only things that got me through last year, co-vid, and everything else, was watching this dude play baseball. What an absolute inspiration he is!
@@phuckfumassters Yeah, definitely, it wasn't a good year for him, but I still loved watching him play and try to persist through his challenges. I've been a fan through his NPB days, so it's been incredible to be able to drive 20 minutes to Angels Stadium to watch him live! :)
I've been a baseball fan since 1956...and I have never seen anyone as phenomenal as Ohtani. This guy is a once in a generation player. The best lefty swing since Mantle; the best pitching since Drysdale and Gibson.
Just to reinforce your point. He is the only reason that I've paid attention to anything regarding baseball. ( I've been ignoring the league for at least five years. And totally stopped watching highlights about 2 years ago.)
@@scottlarock7924 I'm with you. Only time I watch baseball is when I can catch a Phillies game and I live in Florida so that's not often. Shohei ohtani is on the mound tonight. I will be following that game
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼😇💖 SUPER HAPPY for the Angels' BIG win! 🥳🥳🥳 But it's FUNNY that 4.7 K people press LIKE on Othani's homerun video TODAY🤩 vs. 353 LIKES for TODAY'S win for the Angels 😅🤪 Go Angels !😍 Go Othani! 💪🤩👍
Everyday i have to look on the mlb scores just see if he score a homerun,amazing player i believe right now he is the best,because he's a multiplayer and is good on both.
Even if Shohei Ohtani’s career is over today in the Major League (regardless of how short it is), he would still be talked about for generations to come as one of the greatest players to ever play the game of baseball.
Naw man. He's not one of the greatest players of all time. You guys need to stop overhyping him saying things like he's better than Trout. Trout has been putting up .300 40hrs 125RBI seasons EVERY YEAR for the last decade. This kid doesn't have ONE season of those type of numbers
@@kimnora53 It’s not about overhyping Ohtani. Even though he’s only been amazing for this past couple of months, it’s the fact that there has been no one like him or even close to him in recent memories. Name me a player that’s been able to do what Ohtani’s been doing this past few months in the last decade, two decades, or even three decades or longer. There is just simply no one.
I wouldn't say one of the greatest players to ever play the game, at least not at this point in his career, but I would say he is one of the most talented/physically gift players of all time.
For my generation, the Babe was good old John Goodman (bless the guy) and my grandad memories. Now, I have the chance to watch Shohei Ohtani. I will have to some memories of my own to tell my grand kids! Arigato gozaimasu Shoheisan!
wait. MLB also has some great Dominican players. If their video is released, it should be viewed more by viewers in their home countries as well. Why can you say that it's only Shohei Ohtani?
@@paranoidkiwie He popped up that first bunt right down the 3rd base line & no one had a chance to react to it. They can't figure him out when he batting
This kid sho time is scary!! Cant help be admire his game, even when he is beating the snot out if my Rangers!! People say baseball is dying,i say they are not real fans! Cause this kid alone is sparking intrest from everyone
He is so great for the game of baseball. Anyone who cheers for a different team won't have any problem cheering for him because of what he does. Simply amazing.
My father was 5'7". I'm 5' 9.5". Ohtani is 6'4" and young enough to be my grandson. Because of (I think) more protein in the diet, Japanese boys have caught up to the rest of the world in height. And *DAMN* is he great to watch!
I stay up late just to watch Ohtani and I'm not even an Angels fan.
Same. I only watch nba for Curry, mlb for Ohtani. Now I don’t watch nba, probably won’t watch mlb playoffs unless Angles step up.
if he could pitch to himself would he strike out or jack one out of the stadium?
@@howdareyou41 the ball would explode

You can tell his confidence grew so much this year, just drops the bat like a boss
I remember when he sprinted around the bases. He was the only one in the arena that day that didn't think it was a homer lol
素晴らしい
he's been pimping all his homers this year. hope the pitchers don't try to plunk him
Yeah, I’ve been worried lately watching his actions after HR.
He might get plunked.
But I think he’ll be safe if he continue being dominate , cuz …he’s a Treasure of MLB. Even players want to see what he will do in a healthy condition.
@@mli3083 I was worried too, but I hope the opposition realizes that if they plunk Ohtani, they might get a 100 mph fastball right back from him.

buxton when he gets back from injury

@@johnhung8393 yeah and buxtons missing alot of time however, when he was playing he was making web gems, hitting a high average, hitting home runs.

The man can throw a 101 mph fastball, right handed, and then smash league leading HR’s left handed. He is a legend already!
Dude was also hitting homeruns while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He is a freak
He is the most talented player I have ever seen.
MLB needs to market him more and show more angels games on prime time TV. This dude is special!
They can't because the Angels are complete garbage.
@@RAZGR1Z If the Angels had an actual reliever and closer, the clouds actually make the playoffs.

Bought tickets to a Giants game just for the hope of one Ohtani at-bat. Beautiful swing
same i got a's tickets on sunday this week

Before he said “I just play baseball because it’s fun”. Maybe he doesn’t care about MVP or some Award. He wants to go new world🚀

PHENOMENAL. That was Master Class in Hitting. His hands are QUICK through the zone
And that extra split second of loading enables him to generate tremendous torque.
DAMN!!! Shohei Ohtani back at it again
I've been a baseball fan since 1956...and I have never seen anyone as phenomenal as Ohtani. This guy is a once in a generation player. The best lefty swing since Mantle; the best pitching since Drysdale and Gibson.
He might even be a once in a century type player if he keeps on playing how he’s playing now 💪🏼 Mans a complete beast 🥵
Ryan & Gibson... Possibly Ryan was not from this planet. Lol.... Like to see that BA increase into the 300’s
Im a tigers fan, just drooling over the Angels and them having a trou-tani ..the biggest storm baseball has ever seen.
He is going to save baseball. He should be on national television every time he plays. We might not see any player this good again.
