- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Shohei Ohtani has come on STRONG on the bump lately. For the 2021 season, he is 8-1 with a 2.79 ERA and 120 strikeouts. Which begs the question: is he the AL Cy Young favorite? (Oh and he can hit too!)

I honestly don't care if there are better choices for cy young. Just give this man every award this year
lol
😂
seriously..give it
Her surely deserved the cy young, especially since he's playing full time as a hitter!!!!
Lol. Funny but I agree. Ohtani deserves every award. Showtime Shohei!
I would like to introduce this wonderful pitcher to those who are new to it. This pitcher is a home run king.
I don't even know what I'm saying.
Next year, he'll be the slugger who is an ERA king.
The babe ruth award
@@mmphillips04ify No , Shohei is better than Babe Ruth. Babe only had less than 2 seasons doing both pitching and hitting jobs but he could only finished about one-third of games Shohei did and Babe stroke out far than less than 100 while Shohei stroke out 156 this season. When Babe became great home run hitters, he only pitched 2 games one year and 3 games the next year and no more pitching later in Yankees. Even Babe couldn't pitch and hit well at the same time. He had good results only when he chose to pitch at one period of time and hit in other years. Babe couldn't manage to do both for long( he did for a very short season) and couldn't do 2-ways well together either.
@@slleung8979 Ruth actually only did it for 1 1/2 years. And he wasn’t great at both when he did it.
The Hank Aaron Award is awarded to the best hitters in each league.
The Cy Young Award is awarded to the best pitchers in each league.
The Shohei Ohtani Award is awarded to the best two way players in each league.
Or just give Ohtani both the HA and CY award, same effect. Its never been done before, since the award was introduced in 1999, no pitcher has ever won the Hank Aaron Award. Of course if Ohtani were to win it, its debatable if he wins it as a DH or Pitcher.
Otani says he is in the process of rehabilitating Tommy John's surgery. That means the current pitching is not 100% of him. We can see the true Ohtani next year.
A sub 2 ERA might be possible for Ohtani
@@jogmesson Anything is possible for Ohtani.
Looking forward for more innings and complete games next year!
Omg wow! Lol
I’m really optimistic that he can be an even better pitcher next year; his amazing accomplishments so for have made us forget that this year will actually be his first complete year as a pitcher since he came to mlb, and he still actually has not had that much experience.
This guy is living the dream. Every kid dreams of being a major league pitcher and major league hitter. And to be good at both? Cherry on top. This guy is amazing
The Angels announcers screaming broken Japanese after Ohtani strikes someone out is hilarious 😂😂😂
That was actually Jack Morris.
@@user-tl4xg5cj6j お前何言ってんの？
@@user-tl4xg5cj6j oh man please stop doing that, shame on you
I liked when they sometime speak Japanese. Awesome
Sanshin! Sanshin! 😂
I hope Ohtani and stay healthy and play at this high of a level. Also it would be crazy if Trout was healthy at the same time!
Hopefully next year
And rendon
Still wont make the playoffs XD
@@ericlego321 With how bad the Angels bullpen is I honestly wouldn't even be surprised
Imagine this ohtani in 2019 season ..
I stop watching baseball since my Expo's moved out of Montreal and Shoei Ohtani make me love baseball again!!! Give this man every awards RFN!
Ichiro said "Someday, Ohtani will be the best player in the world. He has to be. He will be a HR king in a season and wins cy young in a very next season. He will be like that."
So, Shohei wins cy young next year.
This miracle season which we are watching right now is just beginning.
Go! Ohtani! I'm rooting for you from Japan.
(Sorry for my poor English)
Don’t be sorry. Being proficient in a language is about not worrying of your mistakes while actually trying to learn from it. You’re actually better than me.
Hey, can I ask you something? What do the caster calls 'Dokokani Itte' and 'suwatte kudasai' (or something like that. I'm bad at Japanese so this is probably wrong) mean? I keep hearing them say it and I got curious of what it meant
@@singularity6065
Dokokani itte = get out of here
Suwatte kudasai = go sit down
Your English was fine.
And with 40 games left (6-7 starts), he still has an outside chance to win the Cy Young this year.
@@ryuyanaka271 Oh ok. So I got the hearing part right lol. Thanks
Imagine Ohtani winning CY young award, Silver slugger and MVP FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE...BRRRRRUUUUHHHH
thats nut
Still needs a Golden Glove...
Well he’s a shoe in for the silver slugger. Who else could even compete?
@@OlJackBurton Yes !! In pitcher location, Shohei never loses any coming ball. He deserves a Golden Glove !!
@@user-gp8tp1di4h Vlad Jr
Remember when people were saying he was an overrated pitcher after his start against the Yankees. Take out that start and his ERA is like 2.17
Yeah I remember when he got drafted and when he played his first spring training, everybody thought he was gonna be a bust
John Libka didn't like Othani getting all the accolades because he is Asian. It will not happen under his watch, gtfo of here, he said to Mr. Othani in the Bronx that night
@Miller Time college? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Pear_God he never been drafted by MLB, what r u talking about?
@@carlnilssonyoung8961 didnt mean to say drafted, I meant to say signed.
I cannot stress how insane his arsenal is. The fact that he worked on 2 different slider paths outside of his fastballs and splitters and the rarely used changeup and curveball is just sick. MLB aces can be dominant when they master 2 or 3 pitches. This is on a whole other level.
LOL give him time. Just back from TJ and slowly progressing ..the fact that it's even brought up is insane already. Dude is transcending to the heavens at this rate!
MVP, CY Young, Gold Glove, & Silver Slugger!!! Give him all the awards.
My favorite is the commentator's funny Japanese language class.
I thought it was hilarious!!! So the commentor did his job very well.
“Ha wo migaite” part was hilarious 😂
I liked when he speak in Japanese. Awesome!
Like watching anime
their accents are very strange tho...😂
Kurt Suzuki and Max Stassi got a front row seat to Ohtani pitching greatness.
They deserve a lot of credit too for a good game plan and calling the pitches and also being able to catch the tricky splitters that can easily drop to the dirt
*Wow. Although it isn't impossible, he COULD win all of these awards:*
*★MVP Award*
*★Cy Young Award*
*★Gold Glove Award*
*★Silver Slugger Award*
*★Roberto Clemente Award*
*★Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award*
What’s insane to me is that he said he’s still not 100% & is still recovering like WHAT SIR
There was a Cuban pitcher called Norge Luis Vera, who I think made it too late out of Cuba or never made it, idk it's been a long time since I watched baseball, ohtani reminds me of him a lottt, the way he combines the balls, the wide repertoire, and that slider MY GOD, everything about Ohtani reminds me of him, no need to say that vera has been the best pitcher I've ever seen and would've loved seeing him in the MLB. Because of this man (Ohtani) and Strider, I found a long-lost love for baseball. I always wanted to be a pitcher.
I appreciate the Ohtani content. The more the better. More please.
Can we FINALLY have an Ippei compilation of his best moments?
Omg yes hahaha
He’s insane
I’m not a angles fan but I love him
that's acute
I'm a life long Dodgers fan but I'm watching more Angeles baseball than my Dodgers because of Ohtani. I love him.
Angles are the best tbh
@@onjimana true but let’s see them vs the padres
MLB should have some Babe Ruth Award in order to pave the way for young two-way athletes in the future. This would surely be an opportunity for baseball to evolve its game and become one of the must-watch sports.
There should be some Shohei Award.
@@user-ri4ov2wj4z If he can keep it up for a decade. there shall be some Shoehei Awards.
Twenty years from now, I want to see Shohei Ohtani coaching a team with nine two-way players.
They all pitch one inning at a time...
It should be called "Shohei Ohtani Award"!
@@MrBestard Yes, then should be it, but only this year his achievement may deserve it...imo
He throws so many breaking pitches and then I always forget he has a 98mph fastball… 🤯. This guy is insane
Ohtani is worthy of Cy Young.
They need to take into account the fact that he's not just a pitcher so he doesn't have as many innings as the other pitchers but that doesn't mean he's worse than them. Ohtani proved that he is a good pitcher and deserves to be in the discussion for the award.
Shohei deserves the MVP and Cy Young.
I agree with you 100%, would you say DeGrom should win the NL CY Young Award for this season?
Ohtani pitches every 4-5 games just like every other pitcher. The reason he doesn’t have as many innings is because he’s not as good as the main favorites. He’s a good pitcher but you’re just sucking him off at this point. MVP? yes but Cy Young? no
@@TheWarrior17_9 The problem with deGrom is his injury.
As far as I understand he won't be playing anymore this year. If he continued the season, even for only 5/6 innings, he could win...But as he's out I doubt he'll be considered.
@@nickisans7182 facts
@@nickisans7182 yeah I agree with this. Makes you wonder what if he played 7+ innings. Will his stats get better or worse
There is no baseball games in my place, you can't even buy a ball. But learnt the rules and tune in each day just to watch this guy play. He is an amazing athelete. Don't know what people in US think but for me he is the face of baseball.
Agree. Ohtani is the face of baseball.
Fully agree. Baseball illiterate people are tuning to his games in different time zones across the world, especially his 2-way games.
Many Japanese were bewildered when they first heard American commentators say "brush your teeth" and "sit down" in Japanese, like "WHO brush their teeth and WHY??" (Japanese commentators never say things like that.) And many went to the Internet to google the reason of those broken Japanese and learn a bit of American baseball culture. Thanks to Shohei, American-Japanese cultural exchanges are happening in a fun way.
Can we have one of him running? SB and base running.
I love his base running. He is not as fast as those speedstars like Billy Hamilton (still faster than most players). But his long strides and the hastle make it so enjoyable to watch.
MLB, listen to this comment!! Shohei even runs beautifully.
Yes!! Shohei also performed good SB and running this season!!
He's an awesome guy just because he is the way he is. And he's a phenomenon. It's just great to watch him.

I enjoy listening to the Japanese that the play-by-play man sometimes says at Angels games🥰
I don’t understand what he say, but I like hearing it. It sounds cool.
That last pitch was NAAAASSSSTYYYYYYYY
He said “I'm still in the middle of rehab” and hope will be better next year….I felt fear hearing that…
His splitter is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Looks exactly like a 92 mph fastball right down the middle until like 2 feet in front of the plate where it falls to the floor. Makes professional hitters look silly when they miss it by half a foot as they swing at a ball in the dirt.
The pitch at 1:53 is 98 mph fastball that moves 10 inches away from the right handed batter and the pitch at 9:50 is 98 mph fastball that moves 10 inches away from the left handed batter. That is insane.
@@vinrusso821 If he stays healthy and pitches 200+ innings next year, 20 Wins sub 3.00 ERA is not difficult, providing Angels don't blow leads.
His splitter is really unhittable. But he hasn't been throwing as much lately. I'm not sure why.
And he has 2 different sliders, curveball, and he can make his 4-seam travel like a 2-seam. Having played baseball it's unbelievable how a human can manage all that different ball paths and have them all work against the batter in the best possible way. When you look from the camera behind the catcher they all look like fastballs until at least 2/3 of the path to the plate.
@@benlex5672 And he can hit 40 home runs in a year. Sickkkkkkkk
He is not the favorite but he is definitely in the conversation. He is, and should be, the favorite for MVP as he is having a phenomenal hitting and pitching stats at the same time.
He has more games to add to his resume at end of season. His competition has to be on point and not slip either. He has been dominant on the mound and looks stronger lately. He has almost erase the effects of that disastrous inning in NY. Let's see his numbers compared to other contenders in another month
Ohtani is an ace and he deserves the Cy Young. Lance Lynn the frontrunner isn't much better than him.
ただただカッコイイねぇ
We are witnessing the most impressive performance by a player probably ever; and I am thankful hes on my team and I wish we had an owner that would surround him and trout with talent they need to make it to the playoffs.
I've been hoping for a video like this for a while now!
Ohtani said at a press conference last week that he was something like "still feeling rehabilitated."
Shohei Ohtani = GOAT
4:30 makes me laugh every single time
The commentators speaking Japanese is killing me 😂
Whether he wins it or not, the fact that we are even having this conversation at all. Amazing. MVP
Agree
I don't think there are any other player that opposing announcers sound just as delighted as Angels anouncers when calling games with Ohtani.
Lets go Sho
Tight race for MVP between Shohei and Ohtani
MVP? No doubt.
Player of the Century?
YES.
I like that. Showtime Shohei!
This guy will be in the hall of fame
Ohtani's pitching is like artwork.
Cy Young, MVP, and throw in the silver slugger as well give him all the hardware!
It could very well happen if he continues doing what he's doing.
What about Golden Glove?
@@OlJackBurton pitchers can get that? Lol as long as I've watched baseball I honestly don't know that.
@@MrDevinCates Greg Maddux holds the record with 18 Golden Gloves, despite never fielding more than 40 games in a season. However, if Shohei actually played a defensive position when he wasn't pitching, instead of just DH, he could win 2 Golden Glove awards in one season at 2 different positions...
@@OlJackBurton dang that would be awesome
Shohei won't win Cy Young this year but as a consolation prize he'll get MVP. You know how ridiculous that sounds? 😄
those broken Japanese comments sound exactly like every anime character trying to rap. always made my day
He pitched 8 innings against Detroit. I think before the end of the season he can pitch a full game, and some day hopefully he'll get a no-no. 🤞🏻
I remember making a comment about Angels should only play Detroit the first time they played. That first meeting launched an unbelievable two weeks stretch where he was almost hitting a homerun a day and got him into the All Stars. Then the second meeting with this unbelievably pitching win plus a league leading 40th HR might just win him mvp and cy young awards.
I dont think anyone else deserves more than Ohtani..he is seriously above everyone else..
I miss his pitching
When I see Shohei Ohtani playing baseball like a cartoon, it's great and fun.
Actually could eatn CY YOUNG and league MVP. Great talent!
No baseball player had this high phenomenal hitting and pitching stats at the same time.
0:53
magic slider
Take out that start he had in the Bronx at Yankees Stadium when it was 100 degrees. They had him leadoff the top of the inning then he couldnt settle in to pitch the bottom half. He gave up 7 runs on 2 hits with 5 walks or so. He only gave up 4 runs but then the bullpen guy came in & gave up a bases clearing double so all the runs got charged to him. WITHOUT THAT START HIS ERA WOULD BE RIDICULOUSLY LOWER.
Yes and don’t forget that other game when the umpires called two horrible balk calls to let two more runners score (2 more ER)
MLB should set Ohtani award!
「三振！」「どこか逃げて」
所々挟んでくる日本語にニヤニヤ😆
ありがとう🙏💕
This Dude! Amazing!
I like it that the announcers occasionally say some stuff in Japanese.
HIS pitching is getting better..so crazy..
Best thing about him is..he's a very humble guy and not a drama queen..He doesn't talk big or talk down on anyone. Best thing to happen to baseball ⚾️ right now..
This is why people like him so much. Just a down to earth wonderful person with so much talent!
0:52 is clean
also maldonado's face after that curveball lmao 3:04
He's the MVP for his demeanor alone!
Ohtani deserves cy young, mvp, and silver slugger tbh
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼😇🧧💖 🥳
Hopefully Ohtani will get Homerun King 💪, RBI King 🏅 , MVP🤩 , and Cy Young Award ⚾️🏆
filthy stuff shohei
ピッチャーがここまでカッコいいことに気づいたのは大谷のおかげ。
Has to be one of the best if not the best versatile player. I remember calling a few jersey stores they were like "who? No joke
Atleast Shohei has made the commentators learn Japanese 😂😂
Super cool they’re trying to learn and help someone feel welcome
Unless Lance Lynn has a few blowout games, Cy Young would go to him
Lance Lynn: 10W3L, ERA:2.26, IP:123
Shohei Ohtani: 8W1L, ERA: 2.79, IP:100
the Era is not that important you should check the advance stats where the other candidates are little better than shohei but were talking about shohei in the Cy young that´s huge for a 2 way player he may not win but it´ll will end in 5 o 4 in votes that´s great
Shohei has slowly been erasing that one inning in NY. By end of year he might have his era at 2 or even under that. If season ended today no he doesn't get it. But he would have more wins if his bull pen didn't screw him. So yeah he is in the hunt. many analyst have him in the hunt. Your standards is not the final decision on the award. I see your side but you should consider other sides as well.
@@heverpacheco2515 Don't get me wrong
I want him to win
But the cold-hard stats indicates Lynn has the most possibility of winning for now
Things can still change
His pitches are nasty! The way the hitters' faces look says everything!
*The prodigious, unparalleled, Brobdingnagian ascendancy and adroitness of Ohtani's coruscating celerity impelling rondures reveals an intrepid, quiescent, inextirpable virtuoso of salient, unparagoned, numinous eminence unseen since quondam eras* !
⭐😎⭐
He has proved that he can do both this season, so I hope he will concentrate on the pitcher and reach the level of winning the Cy Young Award.
he can do both!
Can you imagine if the Angels got into the playoffs and the excitement to see Ohtani dominating in key elimination games. The global sports world will erupt!
If they can get their bull pen right they should make the playoffs next season. I think their batting line up is good enough once Trout comes back
I hope showtime Shohei win the cy young award. Go Ohtani!!
VOTTO & OHTANI r beasting it up........I'm a RED 4 life; but, damn OHTANI is beyond belief!!!
Cy Young, MVP, Golden Glove, Silver Slugger, Emmy, Golden Globe, Academy Award, Nobel Peace ☮️ Prize

Thank you for this content! maybe next time you can showcase his speed with his steals and slides. 🙌🏻
MVP MVP MVP!
Just plain nasty, he has 3 out pitches, fastball, slider and his legendary splitter, reminds me of a young k rod with that splitter.
he has curveball too
@@snorlax8963 curveball,cutter, sinker
I think the MVP should be renamed the Otani Award.
Is baseball really this easy? Or is this dude not human.
Just give him everything he deserve, MVP, Cy Young Award, etc,,. He is amazing!! All he need is a better catcher.
what's wrong w/ Suzuki?
@@xslash10x Neither Suzuki nor Stacy, They can't catch his balls. Since they drops so much.!!! And then becomes a wild pitch!! The Angels have to bring a better catcher from Japan.
He needs to be playing for a contender. The Yankees could be dominant for years to come with this guy he'd be well worth a multi-year deal worth half a billion
Your one of those guys huh. Anyways time to explain to your small little brain he can play any team not some "contender" team. When it comes to awards its about your own talent and skill not the entire team. Also reason he dont play with yankees is cause they wont let him play a 2 way. There is your answer.
Yeah, it's possible, with Trout making 37 million a season & Rendon making 35 million per, the Angels might not be able to pay Ohtani, what's he worth 50 million a season?
When his contract is over, teams will chase him. All teams probably
@@eduardocontreras1030 small little brain? Wow. It was my opinion. No need to be rude
Honestly he should be the Cy Young winner since he contributes massively outside of starts. The Cy Young award is for best PITCHER. What other pitcher plays every day? I guess you could be pedantic and say he's a DH on days he doesn't start but WAR doesn't lie.
I'm already looking forward to his pitching next season.
A year ago, if I told you a ace pitcher will be a home run king. No one would believe
that splitter is insane 🤯🤯🤯
before this season even Japanese heavy suppoters didn't expect pitcher and hitter both level so good at the same time. like, this is for pitcher for getting cy award, and next year focusing hitter and aiming to more than 50 HR. but you see, he is making those at once at this level!! aaaaaa!!!!!!
