The pitching was amazing. I love watching pitchers with good "stuff".. However, I think Shohei showed more about American baseball in his Pitching Save than the entire Japanese pitching staff portrayed about Japanese League Pitching. It took Major League heat to shutdown the best in the Major League.
In anime, these 5 throws should last about 4 episodes. Each throw has flashback of Othani and Trout, follow by teammate flashback. Then they will have monologue between the protagonists. The final throw will not be shown, it will skip forward to future where they already gone back to home, 3 months has passed. Then you will see their team holding the cup in picture frame.
@@ninjaundermyskin yep. People dreamt of this matchup when it got closer to being possible with how they both progressed in the tournament. But I doubt it was like this. Game on the line where either Ohtani seals the game or Trout either gets on base or ties it with a homer. And it went full count. 6 pitches in total with no foul balls. Just ball, swinging strike, ball, swinging strike, ball, and finally swinging strike out. And to top it all of it’s the 2 countries who are home to the top 2 leagues in the world (with South Korea behind them)
I don't watch baseball, but as a sports enthusiast, I know what a moment this was! Baseball fans sure did get a treat with this final at bat! Good stuff

One of the greatest moments in baseball. Two transcendent players facing off where the outcome was secondary. Also, having it be at full count made it perfect.
outcome was secondary? this was for the pride of the country who invented and dominates the sport vs the only other country with superstar talent. I'd say the outcome was primary.
What a moment! I love that Ohtani took it to Trout. Two fastballs directly over the plate at 100mph and then a slider to end it??? That's the stuff of legends.
That last pitch was perfect. The balls it takes to throw a slider across the middle of the plate on a 3-2 count against one of the best hitters all-time in his prime in the final frame of the championship game, we just witnessed a legend. He hangs that slider, the ball is gone, homerun.
Anyone who knows anything about baseball understands this is already true. If he retired today, he's put together a career that will likely never be replicated.
@twixenjoyer-xl7zzhe’s not wrong though. This is the best baseball has to offer and one guy doesn’t even come close to putting the ball in play. Wow how magical.
@@1ZosoLZ hahahahahahahaahahahaha the fact that you are a football fanboy doesn't means that base ball is death lol. Also 15 years is not the history of the baseball. You really need to grow up
Here after Ohtani had the greatest game in the history of baseball, 9/19/24. He batted 6-6, with 3 HR, 2 SB, 10 RBI. Also first in MLB history to reach 50/50. (He reached 51/51 in the same game!
@@spoders92 Ohtani certainly had greatest offensive game in history. Joe Adcock went 5-5 with 4 home runs and a double (which hit the wall about 3 feet from the top) in 1954. My favourite is Rick Wise, who in 1971 pitched a no-hitter (against the Big Red Machine no less), and hit two home runs. Not even Ohtani has done that (yet).
This was an actual battle between super stars, one that NEEDS to be played over and over again. Team Japan played nothing less than phenomenal the entire game and deserved that win
there is only one superstar in the video. Trout has done nothing in his career to be considered a "superstar" you got one playoff series appearance from this "superstar" and that was NINE years ago and he went 1-12
My goodness! I have been watching this for about a hundred times now and I am amazed about his pitching ability. I am now starting to like baseball... wowzers!
I can't imagine the excitement and frustration you must have felt watching that moment knowing your Angels team has the two greatest players on it and somehow cannot reach the playoffs. Sad to see really, maybe Art Moreno can cleanse his soul and deliver to the baseball world a moment hitherto unseen.
I’ve watched this scene a dozen times and each time tears flow. Must have been an amazing moment for Japan. Must have been a frustrating moment for USA. Disclaimer: I grew up in Japan in an international school watching both Japanese and Major League Baseball. I know how much Japanese players respect and look up to MLB players and that’s why this is like the moment of finally “getting there”. Before this game Shohei told his players: “Guys, this is it. Leave aside any admiration for the USA players. I know you guys are in awe of MLB players but not today. Let’s go get em!”
I had the same reaction. It's just beautiful how baseball, which originated in the USA, is now enjoyed by so many different people across the world. It's almost like a symbolic torch passing that the US isn't the only dominant baseballing powerhouse, and as a USA citizen myself, I wouldn't have it any other way. As the commentator said that night, "Tonight, baseball wins."
All the best mlb players don't play because teams don't let them bcus of fear of injury. If all them played. No country in world would have a chance ever
I'm not even a baseball fan but this was fun for me to watch as a casual international sports watcher. Congratulations to the Japanese team & its fans, they are a class act! Japan is now, without a doubt, the most successful baseball world champion in history. Nice!

@@T-adley14 BARELY hitting better than the injured pitcher😂 how impressive. Let me know when Ozuna has a 10 WAR season (never will) Ohtani is pitching in the postseason 😂

Wow, they hug and I didn't expect to see that excitement from them, pretty cool Japan and I can't help but to feel the pride especially being a regular American guy so thank you Japan!
So. The guy who just struck out Trout to win the WBC just hit 50 home runs and stole 50 bases lol .... cant believe we got to see this guy in our lifetimes man wow.
The re invigoration of baseball in America has a direct correlation with Ohtanis success. He's incredible and even though he (and japan) beat us this kind of excitement and attention to the Great American pass time makes me so happy
@@MasterCombine I agree. Its too complicated and the refs sometimes have more yardage than the players. Its a truly beautiful sport with some of the most technical playcalling and moving parts on the field. But to go global it needs to be understandable easily like soccer or baseball. And they need to invest in getting rid of the refs/expediently overruling bad calls and no-calls
This is stuff of legends. Look at the confidence the Japan dugout had in Shohei, and the respect Mike had the whole at bat. Two of the best in the league going at it for the highest stakes. Can't ask for more.
Hollywood could not have made this a more epic ending, full count down to the wire, not for the city they play for but the land that birthed them. Who would have thought this event would end with the 2 greatest in the game today, you could even say to ever play the game. This is why we love baseball, it's why we love sports.
I come back to watch this clip every so often. I remember being in awe watching live. Like there is no way the championship game of the WBC came down to these two - two of the best players in the games (if not the best) - and they just so happened to be teammates at the time with the Angels. This has to go down as one of the most iconic moments in the history of baseball.
He's like a right-handed Randy Johnson. 100 mph gas and a completely psychotic slider. Oh, and then you put a bat in his hands and he hits 50+ home runs and steals more bases than Ichiro. I've called him "once in a generation" baseball talent but I think he might be once in a lifetime.
I hadn't watched much baseball over the last several years, but this at bat got me super excited about the sport again. Thanks Ohtani and Trout for a great showdown.
What impressed you most about this Japan team?
Their discipline and work ethic

Mike doesn't know at this point that he's facing a guy who will be 50/50 next season...
I will never forget thinking the day of the game
‘Wow, there’s a chance it could come down to ohtani vs. trout with the game on the line’
The fact that this came to fruition is an absolute treat, a moment that I will cherish forever as a baseball fan
After Ohtani creating the 50-50 club, I came here to remind myself that he was indeed a pitcher.
0.850 with RISP
Was a pitcher. Still is a freaking demigod.
Wow, they hug and I didn't expect to see that excitement from them, pretty cool Japan and I can't help but to feel the pride especially being a regular American guy so thank you Japan!
Wish there were more countries with passion for the game like japan so this could happen more often
Wow. Two legends, two teammates, two friends… game on the line. You can’t make this up.
So. The guy who just struck out Trout to win the WBC just hit 50 home runs and stole 50 bases lol .... cant believe we got to see this guy in our lifetimes man wow.
50 home runs with a broken arm
The re invigoration of baseball in America has a direct correlation with Ohtanis success. He's incredible and even though he (and japan) beat us this kind of excitement and attention to the Great American pass time makes me so happy
True. Now AMERICAN football needs a re invigorating bc it's not popular worldwide yet... Tho technically Rugby is kinda similar to it?
American football will never be popular worldwide, lol
@@MasterCombine I agree. Its too complicated and the refs sometimes have more yardage than the players. Its a truly beautiful sport with some of the most technical playcalling and moving parts on the field. But to go global it needs to be understandable easily like soccer or baseball. And they need to invest in getting rid of the refs/expediently overruling bad calls and no-calls
@@MasterCombine i dont think people realize how long it would take for any country to catch up with america in football lmao
Its been over 5 days... But ive literally watched this over 100 times. SOOOOOO ELECTRIFYING
This is it. This is the best moment in baseball in the last 100 years. We all got to see it.
51/51 club the greatest ever
Honestly, one of my favorite baseball moments of all time.
We don't even have baseball in the UK but now I am a fan of the sport and Shohei Otani. Congrats to team Japan.
You lads have cricket a easier version.
@@xavierd3298 they have the original baseball that the americans copied but the ball is thrown easily and is usually played by teenage girls
@@xavierd3298 what makes it easier?
@@rafael16759
Holy facts
It still amazes me that Ohtani is not only a great hitter but also a great pitcher!!! Just wow!!!
Dont forget great runner and fielder
@@MasqueradeDance1 the Lebron James of baseball
@@GabiN64 he's better than Lebron
@TraumaER Lebron can play all 5 positions on the court and has. No other player in recent memory can do that.
@@GabiN64 LOL, he can't play Center and doubt anyone would call him a SF or PF.
This is stuff of legends. Look at the confidence the Japan dugout had in Shohei, and the respect Mike had the whole at bat. Two of the best in the league going at it for the highest stakes. Can't ask for more.
Ohtani made possible the comeback against Mexico in the 9th and again in this 9th. WHAT A PLAYER GOOOOOD!
That last pitch slider was SAVAGE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Congrats, Japan!! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
No
@@KydraExhaleWdym no
@@KydraExhaleyeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh😂
Trout was trying to pull it when he should have tapped it to a single to right field.
@@KydraExhaleyeah it was you waste basket
Ohtani is something special indeed. What he is doing is legendary
This pitcher is the home run king this year and is trying to win the Triple Crown. Plus, he's 50-50 with that bonus.
Teammate vs Teammate. This is what baseball needed. So awesome to see this epic moment in professional world Baseball ⚾️
Hollywood could not have made this a more epic ending, full count down to the wire, not for the city they play for but the land that birthed them. Who would have thought this event would end with the 2 greatest in the game today, you could even say to ever play the game. This is why we love baseball, it's why we love sports.
if this was a book people would call that ending corny. Crazy that it actually happened like this
Baseball sucks
this match up was truly a gift from the baseball gods!
Wow…just wow! It can’t get any better for an ending.
I watch this once a week.
a year later in 2024 he joins the 40/40 club with a walk-off grand slam.
Can’t wait for Ohtani to pitch like this in his second season with the Dodgers
One of the greatest moments in baseball history!
Yes--read other similar replies below, Einstein.@@klaatubarada7556
Sports history.
This tournament and this at bat got me more into baseball than I have been in over 25 yrs. I was pumped for opening day and still into it now.
Japan loves this sport man. Congrats from USA
Thank you!😊
Japan is actually one of the Asian countries that have the best Baseball Players out there besides USA.
I come back to watch this clip every so often. I remember being in awe watching live. Like there is no way the championship game of the WBC came down to these two - two of the best players in the games (if not the best) - and they just so happened to be teammates at the time with the Angels. This has to go down as one of the most iconic moments in the history of baseball.
Ohtani even looks like a superhero.
Who’s here after WS just to refresh memories of Shohei as a pitcher and can’t for next season when he takes the mount?
He's like a right-handed Randy Johnson. 100 mph gas and a completely psychotic slider. Oh, and then you put a bat in his hands and he hits 50+ home runs and steals more bases than Ichiro.
I've called him "once in a generation" baseball talent but I think he might be once in a lifetime.
One in multiple lifetimes. Some life will never see a player like him
I am an American but I was rooting for Shohei Otani. Man that guy is awesome.
What kind of American are you lol
@@Dan-G97 he’s not a real American
We just lost to Japan in our national pastime. How can you possibly root against your own country because of one man?!
He has the right to support anyone. 😅 not even an issue.
🤨 @@muttsurinri6933
I hadn't watched much baseball over the last several years, but this at bat got me super excited about the sport again. Thanks Ohtani and Trout for a great showdown.
Not even a huge baseball fan but I could I feel the tension! What a scene. Storyline seemed to be stuff only of movies. So good.
I can’t wait to watch World Series champion Shohei Ohtani pitch for the Dodgers!
