This is just his strikeouts and home runs. Dude also legs out doubles and triples like nobody else, steals bases like a natural thief, fields the mound expertly, and has amazing baseball IQ. Oh and he's also the nicest guy in baseball that gets along with everyone, always has a smile, stops to pick up trash and tidy up the on-deck circle, is always having fun and just loves the game. The most respectful, kind, and sincere player you can imagine. Plus he's pretty easy on the eyes.
Gotta agree with everything you said...with emphasis on the last sentence. How does a guy get to be this talented and this cute at the same time? I feel blessed and honoured I get to watch him live out his dream!
@@diamondback4522 Of course I read the comment. Did you read mine? Ohtanis SINGLE good year means nothing to history compared to two decades that Ruth had with pitching and hitting. Ohtani needs many, many more years or no one will even remember him in 100 years.
I gave up my life and tried to quit everything. I gave up my dream without getting help from my parents due to economic problems. At one point, I was chasing money, but at one point, I suffered from depression as my health deteriorated due to work addiction, and I gave up my life and tried to quit everything. I fell in love with Shohei Otani's game and went to bed early and woke up early to watch the game. I watched the game even if there was a time difference of 13 to 16 hours. I want to build a healthy body someday, so I'm managing my diet while exercising. Over the past three months, I've changed like this and my depression has improved a lot. This hospital is said to have improved a lot to stop taking medicine. Thanks to Shohei Ohtani, I took care of my health and had a new dream. Thank you so much. I hope you don't get sick like this season and stay healthy next year.
This guy single handedly brought me back to baseball. I actually bought an Ohtani jersey. I haven't cared about baseball in 30 years, but I love this dude.
Im a Yankee fan in NYC. And bought authentic in game Ohtani Nike Jersey cost $470 and then flew all the way to California at angels stadium and got him to sign that Jersey!!! Because Ohtani is worth investing on. He’s a unicorn! Once in my lifetime.
being top 5 in home runs, walks and stolen bases, 1st in triples is incredible. having a 3.18 era and a 10.8 k/9 is also really good. however doing both in the same season is just unheard of
I don’t remember when I last watched a full baseball game before this year and I don’t remember how many games I watched this year because of this guy.
Was never a fan of baseball, in fact, probably hated the game and the athletes due to the whole steroid era. But after watching how remarkably unique Shohei Ohtani’s season was and the type of athlete and role model he is, even a former baseball detractor such as myself can appreciate what he’s accomplished. I’ll not only be following the rest of his career, but I’ll definitely be purchasing the yearly MLB subscription from now on just to watch him play. Now that I’ve learned the rules, game play and nuances of the game, consider me a new fan.
As impressive as this video is, it only shows 2 aspects of his game. He's not just an elite home run slugger and elite pitcher. He also has elite speed, steals tons of bases, rips doubles and triples on the regular, is a great heads-up instinctive baserunner, can play outfield, scores tons of runs, draws boatloads of walks, can bunt for singles, ALWAYS runs hard to first (and often gets infield singles because of it), fields and covers first as well as any pitcher, has insane work ethic and focus, is a great teammate, a fiery competitor yet always smiling and gracious, and has single-handedly given baseball it's first net positive bump in popularity in a long time. We waited 3 years to see a healthy, no-restrictions Shohei unleashed upon MLB, and it finally happened this season. And oh, what a season!
thank you to me this is the greatest season ever....also to add the speed he won a game by stealing second and scoring on a shallow base hit! its the greatest ever by a player period!
Ever wondered what Ichiro would have been like if he'd decided to hit for power (which he quite capably could)? Meet Shohei Ohtani. Their games are a little different since Ohtani is a solid MLB-level pitcher, but their sportsmanship and incredible work ethic--and insane levels of talent--are very similar.
He's so fun to watch! so fun that he made a lot of non-baseball fan start watching baseball. He's valuable to the sport itself. And not only is he a talented athlete, he also has charisma-- refreshingly humble and cheerful guy, while cool on the field.
Watching a guy strikeout 189 times is fun to watch???? 46 homeruns is just 46 AB over a full season (in which he had 537 AB). You all buy into the hype. NPC's the lot of you.
He is the only reason why I watch baseball lol. I've watched other MVP candidates but they aren't as exciting to watch as Shohei Ohtani. This man does everything those other MVP candidates do but they can't do what Shohei does.
@@taze27 Doesn’t change the fact that getting a ring should be the ultimate goal and not just settling for MVP awards Angels are a dumpster fire and will be for a while. Granted I’m glad Maddon got fired as they have drastically underperformed. That 12 game losing streak was a sign
Never thought I'd be into baseball. While it's here, it's not played as much as other sports here in Australia. I've gone from watching Ohtani just for the spectacle to getting into watching numerous game highlights videos of different teams, to watching full games. Interesting little sport you've got there. Looks quite fun!
Clearly he is The Most Valuable Player. He is one of the BEST all around players I've ever seen, and there's a Charismatic Special Vibe around him...when you see him you immediately notice that you are in the presence of wonderful greatness. Definitely one of a kind….very special one. MLB is very lucky to have him.
MVP??? Sure, he's the MVP for the Angels, but not the league. Had the Angels even made Wild Card round, then I'd agree with you. MVP should be on a team that makes the playoffs. Angels came in 8 games under .500, 4th place in their division. Same thing happened a couple years ago when Mike Trout was MVP over DJ LeMahieu, when LeMahieu was the main reason the Yankees made the playoffs. Again, the Angels weren't even in.
@@milesbowler5446 ok then who’s AL MVP this year in your opinion? Ohtani, Semien, Guerrero, Ramirez, none of these guys were on playoff teams. Should we really give the 5th best player in the AL the MVP just because they happen to play on a better team?
Thank you for making this film. Even though the season has just ended, I have already missed this guy. Thank you Ohtani for bringing an impressive season and staying healthy. See you next season, our MVP,Shohei Ohtani.
Yes, a most impressive batting average of .257. Like the majority of batters in today's MLB, one dimensional. Homeruns and strikeouts. Bring back Adam Dunn!!!
Impressive even though the team had yet another losing season? Yes I know he can’t win all by himself but he’s never gonna get a ring with this team. Especially with the Astros ruling the division for the foreseeable future.
His pitching is masterful and his home runs are entertaining, but I wish they included his base steals and the doubles, triples and just his overall skills as a baseball player. He's truly special.
And they should include his batting average,all his strikeouts as a hitter and all the times caught stealing...He was among the worst of the worst in those... What do you think? Should we include those?
That line drive that Shohei Ohtani legged into a triple did something I never seen before - tore the gloves webbing going straight through it! Showtime brought me back to baseball, a total joy to watch! Thank you Shohei - I bow in much respect.
Hit for a cycle, top 5 in steals, 3rd in HRs, WAR leader, tied for 1st for most triples, top 5 in almost every batting stat. All this on top of most likely some Cy Young votes, he's the MVP. Ohtani is a superstar and this season will go down in history
I don't think he'll get any 1st place Cy Young votes, but point taken. Also, I hear he's the fastest from home to first base, which is just insane to think about how gifted he is.
He isn’t too 5 in any batting stats besides homeruns, if your looking at it from a batting standpoint Bryce Harper was the better hitter, even in advanced stats he was higher. Not to take away from the guy because he’s amazing for the sport but hes not the mvp, and certainly won’t get any cy young votes with that ERA. What mvp winner has ever gotten it with a .257 batting average?
@@mypud4068 I don't think anyone has, but batting average isn't a highly-prioritized stat anymore. Nobody seems to care if you hit .230 as long as you walk and hit homers. Welcome to the age of analytics, for better or for worse. Ohtani's 3.18 ERA would've gotten him 3rd in the AL, but he probably will never win an ERA title because he doesn't throw enough innings.
YES, a very smart player. True fans of MLB know it when they see it. Some players are good athletes...but not necessarily intelligent players. Shohei-san has it ALL. It's almost like you can SEE his mind working. I love it so much. Brains and athletic talent, plus relentless drive and work ethic--the combination is what makes him so great.
I'm so proud of him as a Japanese baseball fan! To be honest, I initially doubted he could succeed in MLB as a two-way player because it was something I have never heard of. I thought he should focus on either pitching or hitting. But this year he exceeded what I had expected with incredible records! What an amazing player! I'm also thankful to him for encouraging baseball lovers all over the world. His performance and smile have helped them overcome this difficult situation for sure.
Thanks to Shohei, I had a great time. When I was depressed, he encouraged me and I made me feel good. I’m Japanese, so I woke up early to watch Angels baseball games on TV.
@@milesbowler5446 r u ok? It doesn’t have to be to the playoffs, look at what the rest of the mvp candidates did. We’ve never seen anything like it. But you are right, he is not the goat.
I've been watching or playing baseball for 50 years, and I've never seen anyone close to this guy as far as overall talent in my life. He can literally do everything on a baseball field, and do them at a very high level. I can only smh in disbelief... This kid is amazing!
@@grizzyy26 I know, he's decided he'll pad his base stealing and walk rates. Those were lacking. At the end of the season, he felt his triples were a bit low, so he added 3 to grab the top on that too. And finally, he decided he'll hit one more home run to end the season.
I am from sri Lanka. We dont play baseball much here. But watching this guy playing is treat to eyes. The Pwer, speed, sportsmanship, humbleness ... You name it, he is top o everything. Only thing i can say is Angles need to pay him two to three times more if he dragging this much of work load. 🤣🤣
The single reason I got back into baseball. Here’s hoping for more players like Ohtani, and most importantly, for him to stay healthy and keep building!
Shohei Ohtani is one of a kind! And the way he’s doing practicing in a period of time is incredible ❤ all I can say he is a perfectionist and he wants to be perfect every game, he got the speed and power combination that’s why he’s record of 50/50 is gonna be forever❤
As someone said MVP is not about stats but “value”. So the impact of his ridiculousness as well as the fact that he brought so many people’s attention back to this sport should be taken into consideration.
You still have to make the playoffs to prove yourself though. Not to mention get a ring. Yes I know it’s very hard to do and he can’t do it by himself but you have to go on the right team and the Angels aren’t gonna be contending for as long as the Astros are ruling the division.
This man made me learn about baseball and become aware of other talented players because youtube had been persistent to show his records to my homepage since August 2021. I can't escape and I still have no idea how the scoring work
I've always loved MLB but becaue of Ohtani-san, I find I would really like to learn more about and watch some Japanese baseball. I really liked Shohei's Fighters manager when I saw him interviewed on CBS 60 Minutes. That gentleman deserves more credit for helping Shohei get to MLB and become the player that he is. Seems like he was a very good manager. Maybe HE should come over to us here also! : )
@@sakitoby1581 As you say, Director Kuriyama is really wonderful. And I'm impressed with what you know by researching that much. Director Kuriyama expressed an interesting opinion that was convincing even after the end of Ohtani's season. I am very happy to be able to talk with you through MLB. I feel that it is very meaningful to be interested in baseball in each other's countries. Thank you for your reply.
@@tsuyu_nuki Hello, thank you for your reply too. This week Ohtani-san received a very special award from MLB Commissioner Manfred for his exceptional season. This award hasn't been given in about 7 yrs. I'm watching the World Series right now but actually I just want it to be over so we can get to the MVP announcement. Lately I've been thinking about how fun it would be to watch a game in Japan. Fighters, of course! Putting it on my bucket list! haha
Ohtani is VERY loved here. He has absolutely reignited America's passion for baseball. It is astounding how much 1 man has affected so many here. Just by being himself and playing with his whole heart. With spectacular results, of course. But it's about much more than just his stats. I truly believe that. I am determined to see him play (hopefully pitch) in a live game in the near future. Angels don't come to my state often; last time they did I got to see my other favorite, Trout, but Ohtani-san was recovering from surgery I think and wasn't playing. I may have to fly to California.
Give this man a raise. Do you know how much revenue that Shohei single handedly brings to baseball? I couldn't have cared less about baseball a year ago. This year, I watched every single Angels game AND went to an Angels home game to watch Shohei pitch. Pay this guy more money dammit.
So true. He's a good deal for the Angels. Low cost, big production, more merchandise/tickets sell because of him- even gave his all stars game money to the staff- he's saving upper management 💰! If they had to pay him for his worth, they couldn't do it.
From Japanese Baseball Fan, I'm just proud of him as one of Japanese player, and i'm really happy with so much MLB fans love him. He gave me opportunity to watch MLB game, and I could enjoy this season watching many games not only Angeles but also the other team. i'm sorry about my bad English, and if u interested, plz watch Japanese baseball as well. These also so good! We're family as the same baseball lover!!
@@alwillk There a few players that had better overall seasons than Bonds, especially considering WAR totals. Ohtani has completed a season that literally has never been done before. Being both an elite pitcher and hitter for the entire season.
Keep coming back here to see his amazing play. Gosh I miss him and his play and can't wait to see him next season!!!!! The more I see his play, the more I realize how extraordinary he is….as a hitter and pitcher….power, speed, techniques, the way he carries himself and his charisma….he’s truly like a superhero.
Thank you for showing me a lot of excitement and hopeful baseball😭🙏 Thanks to Ohtani, I started watching baseball⚾️I will continue to be a fan who supports Ohtani and your team❤️
I’m a Phillies fan, and my favorite player has been Bryce Harper(been following him since he was in HS) but Ohtani makes me fall in love with baseball all over again.
46 HR, 103 Runs, 100 RBI, 26 SB, 151 wRC+, fWAR & bWAR leader, .372 OBP, .965 OPS, 8 triples leader ,9 Pitching Wins, 3.18 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .207 BAA, 156 K's in 130 1/3 IP. Historical season. He made a lot of records. It will take decades to understand how great this season is. Ohtani doing right now looks easy, but unrealistic. Ohtani > Manga and anime
Ok...now include his batting average,his total strikeouts as a hitter and the times caught stealing...and tell me if it looks good...you all fanboys are extremely biased only taking the good and ignoring the extremely bad!
@@愛しさと切なさと里見まさと those aren't simply bad stats...those are among the top 3 worst in MLB(the worst among thousands of guys)...now that doesn't make him average...that'd be an exaggeration...but it surely makes the really observant people realize he's not "ALL THAT GREAT" Get it now?
@@tylerlamantia8058 he is a elite hitter and a elite pitcher in the top 10 in both at the same time... at worst top 15 for your narrow way of thinking? then imagine how much better he would be if he decided to concentrate on 1 or the other its not like his stats are going to get worse doing half as much work over a season
@bone-snypa Batting avg is not taken very seriously when they talk about how good the batters are. I'm not getting into a detailed explanation but I'll explain in simple way: Player A hit 7 singles in 10 at bat......battin avg .700 wow, .700!! Wow !! ......BUT worst case scenario, player A has NO RUN, NO RBI, maybe NO SB, NO NOTHING !!! Now player B hit 2 HOMERUNS in 10 at bat .......his batting avg is ...200, HOW HORRIBLE is that !!! Just .200 .... but he CONTRIBUTED 2 RUNS for the team !!!😁 Now, do you understand? You can't go by batting average only.
@bone-snypa If you watch games often enough, you know how difficult it is to have everything in place to have a runners batted in. How often runners are stranded on bases at the end of innings !?!? But, with homeruns, RBI is sure thing !!! The point is again, you cannot go by the BA alone, you have to consider the quality of batting also. This is not just my thinking, you can ask any baseball experts on this. Btw, if you don't care, then don't say anything !!🥱
We will NEVER see anything or anyone like this again. ...that is until Season 2022 starts and Ohtani does this all over again. This guy is just unbelievably good. I hope everyone appreciates what he did this year and just how special he is as a ballplayer.
Actually I think he was getting hot again in september but teams started to walk him dozens of times so his OBP + walks were crazy high in the last month, they wouldn't LET him hit anthing and pitched around him. He and Walsh were slumping in August though, I suppose it was fatigue from carrying a team of mostly minor leaguers....
What Ohtani did this season was absolutely remarkable. What’s even more insane is the fact that he can still improve next season especially as a batter when the whole team is healthy
This is just his strikeouts and home runs. Dude also legs out doubles and triples like nobody else, steals bases like a natural thief, fields the mound expertly, and has amazing baseball IQ. Oh and he's also the nicest guy in baseball that gets along with everyone, always has a smile, stops to pick up trash and tidy up the on-deck circle, is always having fun and just loves the game. The most respectful, kind, and sincere player you can imagine. Plus he's pretty easy on the eyes.

Perfect description of Ohtani.
1000% AGREE 👍 - it seems over the top and somewhat unbelievable but it’s very accurate !
bunt🤷
He’s not the next Babe Ruth, he’s the *first* Shohei Ohtani
absolutely, tell me about it
Ohtani needs many more years to be compared to Ruth
@@gothenmosph5151 did you even read the comment. He's better than ruth
@@diamondback4522 Of course I read the comment. Did you read mine? Ohtanis SINGLE good year means nothing to history compared to two decades that Ruth had with pitching and hitting. Ohtani needs many, many more years or no one will even remember him in 100 years.

@@londzale3163 wow.... you just made yourself some nice change....
being top 5 in home runs, walks and stolen bases, 1st in triples is incredible. having a 3.18 era and a 10.8 k/9 is also really good. however doing both in the same season is just unheard of
top 3 in homers this season
I just want to see the angels do financially good to him for all his accomplishments.
@闇を破滅させる者 with all due respect to Guerrero Jr. But Ohtani should get the MVP
Also league leader in caught stealing i believe lol
@闇を破滅させる者 vladdy plays 1st base, ohtani pitches, i think it’s quiet clear who’s the mvp
I don’t remember when I last watched a full baseball game before this year and I don’t remember how many games I watched this year because of this guy.

Thank you, Shohei, for being one of the reasons I fell back in love with baseball and I am going to be playing again.
Yes
His pitching is masterful and his home runs are entertaining, but I wish they included his base steals and the doubles, triples and just his overall skills as a baseball player. He's truly special.
Bruh these editors got families… if they include all those clips they might still be editing this video.
@@Qayin Very true! lol
And they should include his batting average,all his strikeouts as a hitter and all the times caught stealing...He was among the worst of the worst in those...
What do you think?
Should we include those?
@@towardsheaven4196 imagine being this salty and this late to the party lmao cry is free you nerd
@@towardsheaven4196 Wow, you're a ray of sunshine, aren't you. Must be fun at parties. lol
My favorite baseball player!
毎日楽しませてくれてありがとう。またMLB公式さんもこのような動画を作成していただきありがとうございます
literally hits home runs in EVERY corner of the box. this guy is legendary.
Thank you so much Ohtani! 2021MLB was the best season in my life thanks to you!
@闇を破滅させる者 lol
@闇を破滅させる者 lol!! Nobody is talking about MVP
@@18890426 He is a troll lol It ’s a waste of time to deal with
I miss him.
I will watch this video many times.
Shohi Otani is the best player in MLB his skill set is unmatched
自分は長年サッカー派で、野球は正直ルールも怪しい位ほとんど興味がなかった。
まさかそんな自分が毎日MLBの試合をかじりつくように観る日が来るとは…。
しかも同じような人が世界中にたくさんいるんだから凄い👏👏
全ては大谷選手のおかげです✨本当にありがとう！
That line drive that Shohei Ohtani legged into a triple did something I never seen before - tore the gloves webbing going straight through it! Showtime brought me back to baseball, a total joy to watch! Thank you Shohei - I bow in much respect.
Man I love when he turns singles into doubles and doubles into triples - his speed is amazing!
@@AA-jd2iz I enjoy watching Shohei steal bases too...the dude makes it look so easy and it's not.
@@AA-jd2iz this is a 6'5 stallion running. Heart thumping.
Hit for a cycle, top 5 in steals, 3rd in HRs, WAR leader, tied for 1st for most triples, top 5 in almost every batting stat. All this on top of most likely some Cy Young votes, he's the MVP. Ohtani is a superstar and this season will go down in history
I don't think he'll get any 1st place Cy Young votes, but point taken. Also, I hear he's the fastest from home to first base, which is just insane to think about how gifted he is.
Except for the fact that his team (Angels) did not even break .500 or make the playoffs.
He isn’t too 5 in any batting stats besides homeruns, if your looking at it from a batting standpoint Bryce Harper was the better hitter, even in advanced stats he was higher. Not to take away from the guy because he’s amazing for the sport but hes not the mvp, and certainly won’t get any cy young votes with that ERA. What mvp winner has ever gotten it with a .257 batting average?
@@mypud4068 I don't think anyone has, but batting average isn't a highly-prioritized stat anymore. Nobody seems to care if you hit .230 as long as you walk and hit homers. Welcome to the age of analytics, for better or for worse.
Ohtani's 3.18 ERA would've gotten him 3rd in the AL, but he probably will never win an ERA title because he doesn't throw enough innings.
The most amazing thing about Shohei Ohtani is that he has a great baseball brain and baseball sense ... He has a genius in baseball sense.
YES, a very smart player. True fans of MLB know it when they see it. Some players are good athletes...but not necessarily intelligent players. Shohei-san has it ALL. It's almost like you can SEE his mind working. I love it so much. Brains and athletic talent, plus relentless drive and work ethic--the combination is what makes him so great.
I'm so proud of him as a Japanese baseball fan! To be honest, I initially doubted he could succeed in MLB as a two-way player because it was something I have never heard of. I thought he should focus on either pitching or hitting. But this year he exceeded what I had expected with incredible records! What an amazing player! I'm also thankful to him for encouraging baseball lovers all over the world. His performance and smile have helped them overcome this difficult situation for sure.

I'm in Canada , Jays fan . But I love watching this guy . Absolutely awesome player. Looking forward to next year and what he'll do.
Thanks to Shohei, I had a great time.
When I was depressed, he encouraged me and I made me feel good.
I’m Japanese, so I woke up early to watch Angels baseball games on TV.
メジャーリーグの公式You Tubeが一人の選手のたった1シーズンに対して20分ちかい動画をつくるって笑
さらにそれが日本人という
誇りでしかない
Baseball ⚾️ is fun to watch again.
I just thank God that he had no injury during the season.
Incredible Season, and a Transcendent Baseball Player.
He is other worldly 🌎!!!
こんなに野球を見た年はなかったです。大谷とエンゼルスとメジャーリーグのおかげです。ありがとうございました。
The best player, the GOAT, the MVP
After one great season- the GOAT??? Get real. And no way is he the MVP. MVP has to carry his team to the playoffs. Angels didn't even break .500!
@@milesbowler5446 r u ok? It doesn’t have to be to the playoffs, look at what the rest of the mvp candidates did. We’ve never seen anything like it. But you are right, he is not the goat.
@@milesbowler5446 lol
I've been watching or playing baseball for 50 years, and I've never seen anyone close to this guy as far as overall talent in my life. He can literally do everything on a baseball field, and do them at a very high level. I can only smh in disbelief... This kid is amazing!
One word he is what we used to see a superman description extra strong ,and gentleman good looks .
Thank you, Sho! You left your heart on that field. It's been a privilege to watch.
Sometimes I just can’t believe if this guy is even a real human, he’s just that good at everything.
The fact that he maintained this for the full season is ridiculous. Easily one of the best if not the best player in baseball.
he’s hit 9 home runs since all star break.
@@grizzyy26 I know, he's decided he'll pad his base stealing and walk rates. Those were lacking. At the end of the season, he felt his triples were a bit low, so he added 3 to grab the top on that too. And finally, he decided he'll hit one more home run to end the season.
@@ykyang5786 I mean he can’t show off his speed if he’s always just jogging around the bases
@@ykyang5786 dude so good he decides to hit triples for kicks and give Vlad and Perez a chance to catch up on the HR count
@@grizzyy2613 actually. Obviously not as many still, but if you're giving facts, give it right :)
MVP, Ohtani brought me back to baseball.
I am from sri Lanka. We dont play baseball much here. But watching this guy playing is treat to eyes. The Pwer, speed, sportsmanship, humbleness ... You name it, he is top o everything.
Only thing i can say is Angles need to pay him two to three times more if he dragging this much of work load. 🤣🤣
"Shohei", suddenly I realized that name is so beautiful, like the best name ever.
Meaning of his name,
Represents -
Sho - Spread wings and fly high
Hei - Gentle, fair and balanced
The single reason I got back into baseball. Here’s hoping for more players like Ohtani, and most importantly, for him to stay healthy and keep building!
Insane run. Hope he continues in 2022
I don’t hope he continues but he evolves his game for next couple of seasons. I really believe can
Thanks Ohtani , We felt happy whole year, See you next Year !!
MVP. this man is crazy.
Shohei Ohtani is one of a kind! And the way he’s doing practicing in a period of time is incredible ❤ all I can say he is a perfectionist and he wants to be perfect every game, he got the speed and power combination that’s why he’s record of 50/50 is gonna be forever❤
As someone said MVP is not about stats but “value”. So the impact of his ridiculousness as well as the fact that he brought so many people’s attention back to this sport should be taken into consideration.
You still have to make the playoffs to prove yourself though. Not to mention get a ring.
Yes I know it’s very hard to do and he can’t do it by himself but you have to go on the right team and the Angels aren’t gonna be contending for as long as the Astros are ruling the division.
Slowed down after AS but proved that he can play whole season as two way player without serious injury
Looking forward to next season
大谷さん、お疲れ様でした！
沢山の興奮と感動をありがとう〜！
来シーズンも楽しみにしております🙌🏻
そしてMVP論争、色んな意見があると思うけど、私の中では大谷さんがMVPだーー！！
He’s his own empire, his nickname should be SHOGUN!
This man made me learn about baseball and become aware of other talented players because youtube had been persistent to show his records to my homepage since August 2021. I can't escape and I still have no idea how the scoring work
I am very happy to see Ohtani go to MLB from the Japanese baseball world and be loved by so many people.
And now I love MLB deeply
I've always loved MLB but becaue of Ohtani-san, I find I would really like to learn more about and watch some Japanese baseball. I really liked Shohei's Fighters manager when I saw him interviewed on CBS 60 Minutes. That gentleman deserves more credit for helping Shohei get to MLB and become the player that he is. Seems like he was a very good manager. Maybe HE should come over to us here also! : )
@@sakitoby1581
As you say, Director Kuriyama is really wonderful. And I'm impressed with what you know by researching that much.
Director Kuriyama expressed an interesting opinion that was convincing even after the end of Ohtani's season.
I am very happy to be able to talk with you through MLB.
I feel that it is very meaningful to be interested in baseball in each other's countries.
Thank you for your reply.
@@tsuyu_nuki Hello, thank you for your reply too. This week Ohtani-san received a very special award from MLB Commissioner Manfred for his exceptional season. This award hasn't been given in about 7 yrs. I'm watching the World Series right now but actually I just want it to be over so we can get to the MVP announcement. Lately I've been thinking about how fun it would be to watch a game in Japan. Fighters, of course! Putting it on my bucket list! haha
Ohtani is VERY loved here. He has absolutely reignited America's passion for baseball. It is astounding how much 1 man has affected so many here. Just by being himself and playing with his whole heart. With spectacular results, of course. But it's about much more than just his stats. I truly believe that. I am determined to see him play (hopefully pitch) in a live game in the near future. Angels don't come to my state often; last time they did I got to see my other favorite, Trout, but Ohtani-san was recovering from surgery I think and wasn't playing. I may have to fly to California.
Been interested in baseball specifically MLB because of this Guy.
Give this man a raise. Do you know how much revenue that Shohei single handedly brings to baseball? I couldn't have cared less about baseball a year ago. This year, I watched every single Angels game AND went to an Angels home game to watch Shohei pitch. Pay this guy more money dammit.
Have you checked out the winning bid to his All Star jersey (unused)? He’s the money in MLB.
Without Otani , who will watching angle 🤣
So true. He's a good deal for the Angels. Low cost, big production, more merchandise/tickets sell because of him- even gave his all stars game money to the staff- he's saving upper management 💰! If they had to pay him for his worth, they couldn't do it.
2:26 that ball was almost a foot high, Shohei is ridiculous
From Japanese Baseball Fan,
I'm just proud of him as one of Japanese player, and i'm really happy with so much MLB fans love him.
He gave me opportunity to watch MLB game, and I could enjoy this season watching many games not only
Angeles but also the other team.
i'm sorry about my bad English, and if u interested, plz watch Japanese baseball as well. These also so good! We're family as the same baseball lover!!
Thanks to Ohtani, I was happy this season.
Imagine Wayne Gretzky also playing in goal and getting wins. That's how ridiculous what Shohei Ohtani has done. MVP without any discussion needed.
Like that analogy! And I completely agree with you, he's like two players in one and they're both incredible! Crazy
i love you shohei😭😭😭 my mom and dad...thank you for giving me life...
Aww.. THANK YOU SO MUCH MLB!! I just missed this guy 🥺🥺🥺✨
Greatest single season in baseball history!
100%
Not sure where I’d rank this in terms of sheer production, but no question it’s the most impressive season ever.
@bone-snypa why would I if I wasn’t on it to begin with?
Not even close. Bonds in the early 2000s
@@alwillk There a few players that had better overall seasons than Bonds, especially considering WAR totals. Ohtani has completed a season that literally has never been done before. Being both an elite pitcher and hitter for the entire season.
Keep coming back here to see his amazing play. Gosh I miss him and his play and can't wait to see him next season!!!!! The more I see his play, the more I realize how extraordinary he is….as a hitter and pitcher….power, speed, techniques, the way he carries himself and his charisma….he’s truly like a superhero.
Thank you for showing me a lot of excitement and hopeful baseball😭🙏
Thanks to Ohtani, I started watching baseball⚾️I will continue to be a fan who supports Ohtani and your team❤️
Need more of his triples and steals in this highlight!
Shohei Ohtani World class.
I’m a Phillies fan, and my favorite player has been Bryce Harper(been following him since he was in HS) but Ohtani makes me fall in love with baseball all over again.
46 HR, 103 Runs, 100 RBI, 26 SB, 151 wRC+, fWAR & bWAR leader, .372 OBP, .965 OPS, 8 triples leader ,9 Pitching Wins, 3.18 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .207 BAA, 156 K's in 130 1/3 IP.
Historical season. He made a lot of records. It will take decades to understand how great this season is. Ohtani doing right now looks easy, but unrealistic.
Ohtani > Manga and anime
Ok...now include his batting average,his total strikeouts as a hitter and the times caught stealing...and tell me if it looks good...you all fanboys are extremely biased only taking the good and ignoring the extremely bad!
@@towardsheaven4196 anything else? seems like those bad stats are not enough to make Shohei average
@@愛しさと切なさと里見まさと those aren't simply bad stats...those are among the top 3 worst in MLB(the worst among thousands of guys)...now that doesn't make him average...that'd be an exaggeration...but it surely makes the really observant people realize he's not "ALL THAT GREAT"
Get it now?
One famous Japanese manga artist said, "If I wanted to write such a story, the publishers would probably reject it."
Absolutely never seen before. And maybe never again. Except OHTANI!!
I watched the whole 20 minutes of this and enjoyed every second of it
100%MVP!!!!!
Highlights combined with HR/SB/Ks from one person. Amazing, superb, magnificent, unreal… Can't find the words to describe him enough!!
I just want to say, “He is, without a doubt, the best player in MLB” and don’t want to hear any objections.
No he’s not he had the best season this year but he ain’t the best
exactly agree
@@mcdonaldmindset4577 he having the best season makes him the best player in mlb as in present time… 🤷🏻
Ur high he’s not that good
@@tylerlamantia8058 he is a elite hitter and a elite pitcher
in the top 10 in both at the same time...
at worst top 15
for your narrow way of thinking?
then imagine how much better he would be if he decided to concentrate on 1 or the other
its not like his stats are going to get worse doing half as much work over a season
One of the kind in MLB history.
He has been great through out the season at both hitting and pitching ends.
I think Ohtani is the legend
It was such a joy watching Ohtani play in 2021. He was incredible and he sure made baseball more enjoyable. Looking forward to his next season. 🙂

1:33 I can watch this scene many times, he's so cute when he said sorry.
Blue Jays fan, but this guy is truly in a league of his own. I don't see how MVP can be denied.
You are an honest person. Respect.
@bone-snypa
Batting avg is not taken very seriously when they talk about how good the batters are. I'm not getting into a detailed explanation but I'll explain in simple way:
Player A hit 7 singles in 10 at bat......battin avg .700 wow, .700!! Wow !! ......BUT worst case scenario, player A has NO RUN, NO RBI, maybe NO SB, NO NOTHING !!!
Now player B hit 2 HOMERUNS in 10 at bat .......his batting avg is ...200, HOW HORRIBLE is that !!!
Just .200 .... but he CONTRIBUTED
2 RUNS for the team !!!😁
Now, do you understand? You can't go by batting average only.
@bone-snypa
If you watch games often enough, you know how difficult it is to have everything in place to have a runners batted in. How often runners are stranded on bases at the end of innings !?!? But, with homeruns, RBI is sure thing !!!
The point is again, you cannot go by the BA alone, you have to consider the quality of batting also. This is not just my thinking, you can ask any baseball experts on this.
Btw, if you don't care, then don't say anything !!🥱
@bone-snypa
"Sure thing" is always better than
"Maybe".
Kinda weird for me that you guys are pushing Vlad to win MVP when he's not even the best in his team
We will NEVER see anything or anyone like this again.
...that is until Season 2022 starts and Ohtani does this all over again. This guy is just unbelievably good. I hope everyone appreciates what he did this year and just how special he is as a ballplayer.
And it’s 2023 now. The dude is evolving
What a gem! Far out this bloke is a magician!
His hitting dropped in the 2nd half but his pitching became better, like it or not, he is the MVP.
Actually I think he was getting hot again in september but teams started to walk him dozens of times so his OBP + walks were crazy high in the last month, they wouldn't LET him hit anthing and pitched around him. He and Walsh were slumping in August though, I suppose it was fatigue from carrying a team of mostly minor leaguers....
@@dontknowdocare louder please 🤣🤣
@@dontknowdocare hard to hit the ball if you get intentionally walked
타니오빠 덕분에 올 한해 즐거웠습니다. 내년도 부탁해요
The most unbelievable season in MLB. In today's game, I am still astounded how he pitched and hit the entire season. Wow.
Thanks for a magical season Ohtani-san! After 2020, it's just what this old baseball fan needed.
If he keeps hitting 35+ HRs and 3.20-ERA, he would be MVP every year.
I hope so. Go Ohtani
What Ohtani did this season was absolutely remarkable. What’s even more insane is the fact that he can still improve next season especially as a batter when the whole team is healthy
He is the reason I keep watching baseball game!!
I can watch this all day long!! Magic is real. Shohei makes baseball so much fun!!! MVP of MVPs!!
