@@hurfdurfy8167 doesn't mean he could not do it. Just that he never did in a game. Mark did hit a 545 foot homerun. In-fact the only person to hit one farther is Micky Mantle with 565feet and 603 feet. So yeah Mark certainly could do it all with roids. I just hope Ohtani is doing it legit. Cause what he is doing is amazing. Most of the home run records are from the steroid area.
Yet when his coach was asked what his favorite thing about Shohei was he said "his personality". He said he is the most well rounded nicest person he has ever met.
It really is a treat to witness what Ohtani is doing rn. He has a legit shot of being the face of baseball ⚾️ for years & years to come. Imo, he already is the face. 💯
This has got to be a Japanese kids dream growing up but to see you actually knocked a ball through the roof of the Tokyo dome for real!? This was years ago too. Shohei "Showtime" Ohtani is a Legendary Baseball player. I hope he can win at least one world series.
OMG I found it. I saw this video years ago and commented on UA-cam that this video was the first time I saw Ohtani and didnt know how great he was then but now its simply amazing.
That ball was still going up when it went through. I’m pretty sure that ball would still be flying today if not for the top layer of the roof. Monster shot.
2024 he became the first player EVER to hit 50/50. Incredible once in a century talent. I did some research. He actually lived baseball. He would practice with the pitchers and put in the same amount of time. Then he would practice hitting and fielding devoting the same amount of time as everyone else. crazy
Same in my 47 years! That’s taking into account I grew up and Atlanta fan with my favorite players being Chipper and Ken Griffey Jr with the later having arguably the prettiest swing in baseball.
Oh this was Ohtani? I remember seeing this 7 years ago and telling my mates "Some random Japanese guy hit a baseball through the roof of a stadium." But now it's like Oh that was Ohtani??
Ohtani won 2ALMVP of MLB as 2way player in 2021 & 2023, he's soon going to win his 3rd MVP from NL as 1st DH to win a MVP in MLB. And he also made new history record if 44HR & 46 steals and is going after historical 50-50 & beyond! (In 2025, he's going to pitch again after surgery in Sept 2023).
lifting legs tend to help ohtani pull, but makes him venerable to outside pitches. One example of this is Joc Pedersen's high leg kick = high strike out rate. He hit bombs on middle and inside pitches he can pull, but strikes out on outside heaters and breaking balls. The Angels coaching staff saw this with Ohtani, and had him go with no leg lift. This works well for him because from that point most of his HRs are center field or oppo on outside pitches.
Ohtani was planning to join Dodgers' minor league organization as Dodgers scout 15 yrs ago from previous ownership had almost successfully scouted Ohtani. Ohtani had publicly asked the Japanese Professional Baseball teams not to draft him because he decided to go US for a baseball career directly right before the Japan baseball drafting and before his high school graduation in 2012. Ohtani had foreen Dodgers was going to win 2020 World Series Championship in 2011 and wrote down this except he was expecting himself as a roster of Dodgers' pitchers in the series. However, Japan Prof team, Fighters, drafted Ohtani in 2012 and proposed Ohtani to become 1st 2way/3way baseball player in the world changed Ohtani's whole life and his whole baseball career. Ohtani gave up immediate goal of becoming a Dodgers minor pitcher, instead he chose the unicorn 🦄 path to be first super elite 2way/3way baseball player in baseball history! Not until DH position was available for Ohtani since 2022, Dodgers was handicapped in attracting 2way Ohtani to consider Dodgers. It took Dodgers 15 yrs to sign Ohtani after tracing him since he was a 1st year student in high school.
ehhh it will be tricky, 1st he is on the angels right now, great players still need good teams, and even a player as good as him cant win a game alone. 2nd, he started his career a little late, while he will put up some impressive numbers, pitchers tend to fall off (especially hard throwers like shohei) once their speed drops so he probably wont have the time to accumulate alot of pitching accolades as for his hitting its impressive but only time will tell what feats in the batters box he will be able to accomplish. Still might make it to the Hall just harder than alot of people think
@@jeremygeller9145 I’d say he’s pretty much already a lock, the hall of fame also considers international play, beating USA is pretty legendary and only adds to his case
Also the last time I saw something like this was when Robert Redford starred in The Natural, if that doesn’t get you in the hall of fame nothing will LOL.
You can't even spell his name right😂! He's Shohei Ohtani! Ohtani is now the face of MLB and the best baseball player in the world. He has two ALMVP in MLB and is going to have his 3rd MLB MVP(1st NLMVP) of 2024 season in Nov. I'm sure you can find out a lot about his greatness since he had just had another historical season of founding 50-50 club by hitting 54HR and stealing 59 bases to make a new baseball history path.
he hit it out of the park, inside.
yep, they should call that an outside the park homerun
He hit an outside the inside park home run!

He is only one hitter in the Japanese baseball history, who hit a ball that disappeared through the roof of Tokyo Dome. It should be called Dome Run.
This is my favorite Ohtani highlight video, needs at least 1 million views!
He did it!
I classify home runs as leaving the park. That ball left the park... the entire park.
It left the solar system
So a foul ball that leaves the park is a home run?
nope a ground rule double
@@scottdykema5385 double not a foul ball
