@@stevesmith756 Pitching isn't defence? Since when? Also, he has played in defence outside of pitching, just wasn't worth keeping him out there and wearing out his pitching arm. But, pitching is the FIRST line of defence. If you pitch a perfect game of strikeouts, and you don't consider pitching "defence", then literally no one on the team played defence that game. Your argument fails basic logic......... And he will come back and pitch fyi. If he doesn't, he would likely wind up fielding instead. He doesn't because he's still preparing to come back to pitch.
Shohei is an all-packaged athlete. He can run and steal bags, he can hit single, double, triple and home runs, and he can pitch, throw from anywhere of the ground. His brain works almost like AI of baseball.
Actually his defense work was golden glove level too back in his Japan Rookie season. Ohtani was working 3-ways as starter, reliever, hitter, & Outfielder in JP Rookie yr 😂but became a 2-way player because he became Ace of his JP team(Fighters) and needed to start pitching in 23 games from 2nd JP professional year(he got 10 wins & 10HR in 2nd yr& 15 wins in 3rd yr).
I guess you are moved by Ohtani's strong will and hardwork in contributing himself to his team. Even when he couldn't make hits or do pitching for his team, Ohtani is still finding way to help his team for just take a walk, make a steal, and eventually run back to homebase! Ohtani's strong baseball passion and determination in giving himself totally into his beloved games & for the wins of his team that our hearts are naturally got touched with his selflessness for trying so hard in helping his team.
@@aimpointrod The only issue is that the steroids have tainted his stats. Bonds did have the speed early in his career but noticed after his physique started changing (head got bigger too) in the late 1990s that he was hitting more home runs but fewer stolen bases.
Maybe it's best he doesn't pitch anymore, though it would be incredible to see him do that as well. He could get hurt, or eventually starts hurting his offensive numbers, and Coaches won't want him stealing all these bases if he's pitching too.
Ohtani is basically setting new records for Dodgers or for baseball history or for MLB or for himself in almost every game or every other games or several times in every game! If you're an Ohtani fan, you'll be busy of receiving all sorts of baseball data twt in almost every game telling you all kinds of records Ohtani broke since his arrival in MLB and especially after 2021. Recently Ohtani had broken a series of his own and Dodgers and MLB records, but sometimes Ohtani broke some very interesting and unique historical baseball records that either made us laugh or tears😂!
To me, shohei is a full time pitcher and part-time DH. I love that MLB is all about shohei recently even though he is not even playing his full time role. Love watching the goat play! Walk him? He steals a base.
If the next batters are Betts and Freeman, Shohei Ohtani won't run boldly unless the pitcher goes into slow motion. This probably comes from his high baseball IQ, which allows him to understand the psychology of pitchers and sluggers and develop strategies that take the entire batting lineup into consideration. Now that both players are absent, we will actively accumulate numbers!
Not exactly, Betts was too slow in running bases that Ohtani was once got caught in first game of Dodgers stadium because he ran too fast while Betts in front of him couldn't catch up with Ohtani's amazing speed. After then, Ohtani slowed down a lot when Betts was running before him!
i think this guy was made in a secret lab in Japan. Throws 101mph fastball with pin point accuracy striking out MLB hitters, hits towering homeruns, and runs like a cheetah.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT IF SHOHEI OHTANI#17 ONLY FOCUSED ON HITTING .. THIS IS THE TYPE OF PLAYER HE WOULD BE .. AN ALL-TIME GREAT(BONDS .. RUTH .. WILLIAMS .. GEHRIG) MLB ⚾ HITTER ..
Sho-steal, Sho-fast! 2nd base player looks so small compared to Shohei !!!Thanks for the great videos! Looking forward to 40 /40💙 Go 💚 Dodgers 💕 October! Sho-Steal no. 28 !💙
Ohtani stats in all of baseball (AL/NL) Batting avg - 3rd Home Runs - 2nd RBI - 4th Total Hits - 4th Stolen Bases - 4th Triples - Tied for 19th Doubles - Tied for 6th Against Judge at bats. Judge has 372 at bats and Ohtani has 407 at bats. Judge has more strikeouts 112 to 107. Pretty amazing stats by Ohtani.
The MLB cameras are always too slow for catching Ohtani! They couldn't follow Ohtani's HR balls which always flies too fast to follow along or they couldn't catch Ohtani stealing bases because he ran too fast for cameramen to chase!
Ohtani has been aggressive on the bases recently, stealing a lot of bags. He's fast and has a good sliding technique. Imagine, though, that you're running down a dirt path and have to drop to your rear end and legs to slide along the hard dirt for several feet. It still seems like a recipe for hurting yourself. Oh well, what do I know?
@@stevesmith756 Yes, I followed the Angels the whole time Ohtani was playing with that team. Trout is now so injury-prone that he can't be counted on to help a team. One of those injuries occurred when he slid head-first into second and jammed his hand on the base. Now they all wear those oven mitt gloves. But Trout rarely even tries to steal anymore for fear of injury. Yes, age is a factor, and the game is inherently rough on the body. But Trout is an example of someone whose body is now so beaten up that I don't think he'll be able to play consistently through a season. I hope Ohtani can pitch again, but he's already had two arm injuries so nothing is certain.
Baseball is still boring. They need to speed it up and increase the scoring. There should be an intentional walk zone outside the strike zone that goes 2 bases instead of 1. Even faster pitching clock, they already have all the advantage. Stolen bases can run outside the line and has to be touched with the ball in glove for an out. So simple to make it more fun to watch.
MVP
I love Shohei really 😂 bud had a bad at-bat game and was like ok let's get a career high SB instead ! There's always something . GOAT
GOD I LOVE THIS MAN
Shohei Ohtani has cheetah’s speed and gorilla’s power like an unreal CG💚
OHTANI IS A BEAST
#GOYANKEES
I have to keep reminding myself: this guy is a PITCHER - and one of the best pitchers in the league. Insane.
I think he is 1 or 2 in cumulative pitching WAR since start of 2022 season. Even when you account for the fact he hasn’t even pitched in over a year.
He is still growing, rapidly
Actually aging rapidly. He’ll be a hitter only
@@stevesmith756 Einstein , is that you?
The most complete baseballer ever. The GOAT in real time. Will never tire of seeing Ohtani play....
Concur.
Not even close to a complete player. He needs to play defense. Mike Trout would be the complete player. And his pitching days are over
@@stevesmith756 pitching is the main part of defense. How stupid are you?

Even more surprising is that he attempted to steal bases 31 times and only failed four times.

That's impossible, he'll get 50/40+..
Clicked to see Ohtani steal a base and it starts with him at bat. I'm thinking "Is he so good he's stealing 1st now?".
Shohei has set career highs in some category every year. It's the result of his constant efforts.Mamba mentality！

can we all just say WOW
This Kid is so Amazing 😮!!!

So can we say Shohei Ohtani is the first ever 6 tool MLB player? I believe so! He’s gonna make that 30/30 club this year, possibly 40/40

Be careful, if you walk him it's an automatic double 🐐
Sometimes it became triple because he stole 2 times successfully from 1st base😂!

For real what a difference makeup of professional baseball players
i saw that too lol. a short player and a tall player.
😂😂😂
Shohei's almost a foot taller than him...
Seriously, what can't this man do?
Play defense
GOAT
This guy literally can do anything in baseball. Even more beyond your imagination.
2:01 Love the interaction between Altuve and Ohtani - kind of like:
Altuve: "Darnit - Got me... this time!"

Judge playing in a home stadium with closer home run fences!
Ohtani runs too fast, and beautiful stolen base
So, we need a special camera that only shows Ohtani.😂

best leadoff hitter since rickey henderson.

Ohtani is different this season from the all star game to the regular season
He’s also still recovering from injury, imagine next season. He could post all time record numbers…
it was definitely the hr derby last season

thats alot of cheers for a away player
40/40 this year!!
50/40
The best player ever seen.
Best hitter not player
don't forget he is a pitcher .....
a few weeks ago gong 40-40 seemed possible but unlikely on the SB side. Now it looks like a pretty sure thing if he stays healthy.
He's the colour card in uno.
