A lot of gaps in this rapid run through Ohtani's history. It deals more with his time in Japan and skips showing him lead Team Japan in the WBC last year, an accomplishment he obviously loved. How good is he? World-class, once in a lifetime, a supreme talent who already deserves his own room in the Hall of Fame.
Already he has proven marketing value, Ohtani is the savior and god of baseball. Kuriyama believed in his talent and nurtured him. Joe Maddon believed in his talent and helped him blossom. Joe didn't make rules for him to rest, he gave Ohtani freedom. We should be grateful to see such great talent in our era.
From Hank's "I Had A Hammer": Of the ten National League batting leaders of the sixties, seven were black or Latin. Of the ten National League home run leaders of the sixties, ten were black or Latin. A white player did not even finish second in home runs during the 1960s. Totaling the top five places each year in each category, thirty-seven of fifty batting leaders and forty-one of fifty home run leaders were black or Latin-giving a staggering 78 percent domination to the groups in the distinct minority. *** What would the National League have been like in my time without black players? Who would have been the greatest home run hitters if I had not been in the league, or Mays or Banks or Frank Robinson or Willie McCovey or Orlando Cepeda or Willie Stargell or Billy Williams or Richie Allen? I'll tell you. The white player who hit the most home runs in the National League in the 1960s was Ron Santo, who was almost fifty ahead of the next white player, Eddie Mathews. With no black players in the game, Ron Santo-who is not in the Hall of Fame-would have stood well above all the other home run hitters in the league during his time. Lastly, perhaps cut plumbers and mailmen some slack. I mean, one can peruse my one LA Rams game program from way back in the day and learn that in the 70s pretty much the entire starting offensive line sold insurance in the off-season. A man has to support his family and when the game doesn't pay enough... Almost forgot, but re the rings thing, if the idiots follow that to its logical conclusion, then Trent Dilfer, Jeff Hostetler and Nick Foles were all better than Dan Marino since they all won a ring while Dan did not.
700million is a lot of money but Dodgers already got fair a few good Japanese sponsors coz Ohtani is playing for Dodgers and I am sure there will be many more to come plus merchandise sales etc.
he won't receieve 97% of that money until his 10th year with the dodgers. Which I get it ohtanis team made that offer to them but it's is bullshit to essentially lock in the best all around player in baseball and if things don't last you can cut him short for almost nothing
Koshien is nothing like March Madness. Summer Koshien is the largest sporting event in Japan. It's like a religious gathering. The Hanshin Tigers, the professional team that plays at Koshien stadium, are forced to leave and play elsewhere for the high school tournament. There's nothing like it anywhere in the world. Also, his name is Roki Sasaki, not Rory.
13:32 No serious baseball analyst ever compares the number of rings of a pre-expansion player (Babe Ruth) to one in the modern era (Ohtani). Before 1961, there were only 8 teams in the AL and 8 teams in the NL for a total of 16 teams, with the exception of 1915 with the Federal League lawsuit. Today, there are 30 teams in baseball. There's a reason why all the record ring holders played before 1961, e.g. Yogi, Ruth, DiMaggio, Gehrig, etc. Due to the smaller pool, it's not uncommon for teams to win 3 or more WS titles within a span of 5 years before 1961. Philadelphia Athletics, Red Sox, Yankees, Cardinals, and Dodgers all did it. Yankees did it multiple times. Cubs won a back to back WS. So did the NY Giants. NY Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Tigers all have 3 losing WS appearances within a 5 year span also. In the modern era, it is very rare to win 3 titles in a span of 5 years. Athletics did it in the 1970s. Yankees in the late 90s with their super team (they won 4, 3 of which were consecutive). And SF Giants in the 2010s (non-consecutive). That's it. That's the list.
14:45... might not male the playoffs? With this collection of talent, if the manager gets in the way letting guys 1-31 play will do that. Get the most out of him. Fire Roberts LA's version of Aaron Boone.
Babe Ruth is objectively overrated if you adjust for all of the changes, it being a white league, playing against basically mechanics and grocery store clerks while having the advantage of being paid enough to focus solely on baseball. He doesn't even break top 200 of all time, all things considered. You're stating stats and figures with zero analysis which renders your comments irrelevant.
right now he’s top 1 in avg/slugging/ops. Last year he is top 1 in slugging/ops. so i would say he’s literally number 1 for now. theres so much pitching talent rn though that i will just put him top 15.
@@jesuswasbrown6960 analytical number say otherwise. Last year he was easily a top five hitter. He was top five in wins above replacement as a hitter alone, and that was just with 5 months played out of six. He was near the top in home runs, runs bad in, batting average, on base plus slugging percentage. I don't know what other metric you want for a top hitter. This year he's top five in the league in many of those same categories. He seems to favor on base plus slugging percentage and pure on base percentage as his top categories. The guy can flat out hit

Othani is a 2 way phenom, he hits and pitches, if you compare him to the elites of pitchers and hitters, he's up there with them.
You think Ohtani won’t make the playoffs? Lol they win 100 games like every year
And they choke every single time

A team of ohtanis would beat a team of anyone else easily. Thats why he’s so far beyond anyone ever.
Well yeah because everyone else can either only pitch or hit so he wins by default.
Shohei is the best❤❤
157 km/h is actually *98 mph!!* 🤯
He was only 15
He'll continue to be the best he'll continue to set records And he will get that ring
Taking my grandsons to see this Once in a lifetime player go against another phenom elly de la cruz on memorial day weekend... Cant wait

he's worth way over 70 mil a year due to the colossal fanbase that's following him, which make the Dodgers earn back even more in return
