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)
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.

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
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.

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
This will very likely go down as the best at bat in all of baseball history and it's not even close to another. 3-2, 2 outs, top of the 9th , the two best players in baseball who are both on the SAME MLB team and facing each other, representing for their own country, in the last game of the championship??? You literally couldn't plan something this incredible.
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
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
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 was watching how he had one of the most amazing games batting the other day. I had never heard of him before. Now he's a pitcher too? This dude is going places.

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
Same stadium where he got 50/50 with 3 HR's 2 SB's and 5 XBH's and 10 RBI's!
with a broken arm too
This is almost just as intense as when it happened live. This is what sports is all about. This was truly a special moment in sports.
the real 'world' series when you think about it
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
The ultimate dream matchup? No. That sir would be Ohtani vs Ohtani.
Finally, he reached “54-59”
Fact that he is great at hit and pitch is insane.
When the epic hero meets the final boss
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
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.
Its been over 5 days... But ive literally watched this over 100 times. SOOOOOO ELECTRIFYING
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
51/51 club the greatest ever
I was watching how he had one of the most amazing games batting the other day. I had never heard of him before. Now he's a pitcher too? This dude is going places.
a year later in 2024 he joins the 40/40 club with a walk-off grand slam.
I'm 66 that was one of the greatest things I have ever seen
Ohtani is something special indeed. What he is doing is legendary
Almost forgot this dude could pitch as well.
Amazing…..😮
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
still feel shock that next year this pitcher become a 50-50 hitter ( and is the only one who achieve that )
Shohei Ohtani is the real deal and he will break the bank on his new MLB contract
News headline: Yankees buy Ohtani for record deal!
Angels fans:😢

Yeah that contract is going to be something else.
One of the greatest moments in baseball history!
Yes--read other similar replies below, Einstein.@@klaatubarada7556
Sports history.
Ohtani made possible the comeback against Mexico in the 9th and again in this 9th. WHAT A PLAYER GOOOOOD!
