Couldn't be happier for Shohei. He doesn't make the postseason at all in his first 6 years with the Angels, and now he's going to his first World Series in his first year with the Dodgers. Can't wait for next weekend!
@@kevinhorry4182, Ohtani decided he was tired of losing. The Angels are never serious enough about winning it all. They could have signed him with a similar contract but knew he wanted to win and the Angels aren't that team.
The translator is not bad, but keeps missing several sentences each time. Otani answered Jeter's question, saying " We for sure had many hardships during the regular season. But fighting so hard for all the 162 games with our fans together, we are now able to play these post season games at last. Each moment is very special for me, and I've felt so in every post season games."
@@Stormcrownn "Yankees is a strong team. A wonderful team. Judge is sure excellent but the team has other excellent players as well. So we need to tackle very hard otherwise we cannot win. We all want to do our best."
I think he has to shorten up the answer and only translate the most important parts cuz of TV time restrictions. But yeah dude seems stressed when he's translating lol
@@qman66 he was hating on Ohtani and saying Ohtani shouldn’t win MVP, basically because he (Ortiz) didn’t win mvp mostly due to him being a DH. He thought he had a comparable or even better season than Ohtani and doubled or even tripled down saying others like Lindor should be mvp. He’s finally saying Ohtani should be mvp now that the dodgers are going to the World Series. I’m sure he’s still is bitter at Ohtani but don’t want anymore hate on himself.
Not only Otani and Yoshi but past Japanese players in Dodgers or also Ichiro have nothing to do with Tokyo. That's same as always says "NY" to players from LA. Why not Americans learning about Japanese players' hometown?
@GinAndTonic1771, you don't need to speak for this American or many others that have learned about Ohtani and Ichiro. Many fans have taken the time to learn about these historic players and where they came from. Thank you.
Hope you know Tokyo is geographically a small prefecture. Yet, it is the center of politics, economics and business of Japan, but not necessarily an incubator for sport athletes. Though surrounding prefectures produce Japanese star athletes of 20th century, like Sadaharu OH, who hit the most homers in professional baseball in the world.
Whenever I go into the postseason, I'm always curious to see which pitching side will show up and make quality pitches and win those crucial battles. I hope the Dodgers pitching staff shows up to perform well, and that the Dodgers bats put pressure on the Yankees' pitchers. Let's beat those dreaded Yankees!
Also, the translator left out some things from Ohtani's reply to Jeter's last question. Specifically he said, "even within the regular season, we had a lot of tough games to get through, but upon getting through the 162 game season and striving to finish the job left in the postseason is a special moment." The most obvious information he ommitted in Shohei's reply was basically where Shohei said "we had a lot of tough games in the regular season." He didn't necessarily say that the regular season in and of itself was difficult.
I really don't like how they got this dude to translate for him. They should've hired a proper translator. So many times I feel like he leaves out small things that Ohtani says or translates it missing some key points to Ohtani and although the gist of what's being said is being transferred across. It's just not the same as actually interpreting for a person. Your example was one of them and there was another one in this interview too that I thought he should've included it but didn't.
@@bensonspov Every question asked actually had something either mistranslated or omitted. What I found shocking though is how he even struggled to translate what shouldn't have been difficult information from Japanese to English, particularly considering that translating from JP->ENG is much easier than from ENG->JP
yup as a speaker or japanese I thought the same thing. Its about getting the spirit of what he's saying too. He doesn't capture the mood or intent of ohtani. Ippei was so good at it despite being a degenerate gambler
I'm Japanese. Otani answered Jeter's question: "We for sure had many hardships during the regular season. But fighting so hard for all the 162 games with our fans together, we are now able to play these post season games at last. Each moment is very special for me, and I've felt so in every post season games."
Except he's mistranslating or missing out a lot of the questions and replies, I mean it's not the worst in the world but I could pick up on a few missed translations. 😅
@@MarkStugots I've got a few other comments I left in the comments section, with a transcript as well I left translating word for word one of Shohei's replies.
I feel like Jeter actually likes this dude which makes it harder for him cause he probably doesn’t wanna interview him if they beat his Yankees. Maybe he won’t walk off like he did with the Mets mascot aha
Being strictly a DH this year, and the best to ever do it at that, Shohei is gathering so much intel and building up unstoppable pitching ammunition for next year. Imagine what next year holds for him on the other side of the ball…😮 Go Dodgers!!!! Let’s go at least 2 peat back to back world championships. 2024 and 2025 and beyond. New Dynasty. New sheriff in town. Yankees who?? Go Dodgers!!!! ::::::::::(⚾️) 🍺 😎👍
Great for the Dodgers and Ohtani who signed not only for that huge contract but for this and obviously to win it all. To Mike Trout, wake up, accept that you are not the player you used to be and never will be again, you've made tons of money, take a little less money and MOVE to a winning team.
I read in the comments that some people are complaining that he doesn't speak English or need to learn.... Ya'll understand he speaks English just fine right? His interviews are translated for Japanese viewers. Just wondering if you were aware of this or are just being dicks about it...
I have no doubt in my mind that at this point he understands English perfectly fine. Right after the game ended, he was asked on broadcast, something along the lines of "what does it mean to be able to play for the World Series?" - Just look at the way he was nodding with pure energy - he was SO ready to answer that question in English because of just how much it means to him to live in another step of him claiming his destiny.
In Japanese answer as well, he selects words very carefully and sometimes sounds avoiding the direct answer. And that’s why he needs an interpreter. Because nuanced expressions are really difficult and varied among nationalities and their cultures. Hope you notice that what the interpreter said is not exactly what Shohei expressed verbally in words. 😊
The 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.
If the other injured pitcher on the Dodgers is healthy, it would make the WS rotation a lot easier. In a short-season game, the presence of an absolute ace pitcher is more important than the number of pitchers. It is hard not to be able to use this injured pitcher as a pawn when he is actually a member of the team.
I love Shohei. I just wish he would look at the people who asked the questions even if he's speaking to them in Japanese. I know Japanese people don't make as much direct eye contact but he is playing in America.
I see him in the dugout at different times talking to players ,, they all speaking Japanese he’s talking English I’ve seen him on camera in the background talking English so why doesn’t he just do his interviews in English ?
I have to be honest. The translator here actually didn't translate some questions A-Rod had, like "how excited Ohtani was about going into the world series". And also he mistranslated some of Shohei's replies, like when he say other good players too like Soto. Ohtani never mentioned Soto's name, he said "Aaron Judge is a special player but they have a lot of other great players too, and we have to look at them as a team as a whole as we prepare for them, and we have to prepare together ourselves as a team." In case you're wondering how I know, I have lived in Japan for several years and speak Japanese every day. Either way, whatever. I guess perfect translation isn't everything haha.
Yeah, it seems like his interpreter isn't trying to translate Ohtani's words very accurately. I don't know if it's due to a lack of Japanese proficiency or an attempt to simplify things as an interpreter, but it feels like there's a lot of paraphrasing.
@@kk-hj6pu I think because it's a bit challenging for him to find the correct wording to illustrate what he's trying to communicate. I know from experience it's not easy translating between English and Japanese, though I would have thought at least from the side of translating from Japanese to English he would not have omitted as much information, given how much more flexible the English language is compared to the Japanese language.
@@jameslog3431 Yeah, I know it's hard to translate from English to Japanese. But I thought he could do a better job of translating from Japanese to English.

I'm Japanese, and we don't have the culture of avoiding eye contact like you say, and it's normal to make eye contact with the person you're talking to. It really depends on the personality of the individual. Even in Japan, it's good manners to make eye contact with the person you're talking to.
The reason why Ohtani doesn't make eye contact with the person he's talking to is because he's talking through an interpreter, or because he's nervous because the people he's talking to are the star players he watched as a child. I think he makes eye contact when he talks to his teammates.
