Yeah, they won the Genetic Lottery. if they were average sized MLB Players they would have enough skill to make it,,but I don't think they would be dominating.
@@vernpascal1531 yeah, Shohei's homers wouldn't go over 400 ft and some of the homers he hits now would become flyballs instead. Skenes at 6'0 instead of 6'6 is probably throwing 94 95, not 100. Mass = gas after all haha. Look at all the flamethrowers in the league. Arroldis, Joyce, Skenes, Ohtani when healthy, young Verlander, healthy deGrom....overwhelming majority are around 6'4 or 6'5" and heavy
that second at bat when Ohtani homered...l saw a still picture of Skenes looking to the outfield and watching that homerun....with the biggest smile as if admiring the homerun hit with his fast ball
Weirdly enough Skenes apparently was a really good hitter in college, he could've potentially been a two-way player along with Shohei if he'd been allowed to develop both sides of the plate
Crazy how Ohtani had an eye on the fastball and made a chance at almost every single one, albeit slightly late. And who can blame him when the guy is throwing scorchers. Yet he laid off on almost all of Skene's breaking pitches. Ohtani also never changed his approach. Just waiting on till he gets one. What an amazing match up that we will all definitely look back to in years to come.
At the every pitch of Paul, the whole audience got silent for him to focus and cheered him when he stoke Ohtani out. On the other hand, when Ohtani got HR, they cheered. What a wonderful audience indeed.
98 fast ball on the outside is one of those harder plays because it looks like a ball instead of strike and when hit because the higher position, it's usually a pop-fly for an easy out. Ohtani hit like it owed him money. (Ippei.)
Its all about the hip. Look at his right foot and how he uses it to help him open the hips with power that translate to the hands. Hip opening is so great it gives hands time to catch and adjust on every ball thrown at him. You can see his hands are always way beyind the hip adjusting and coming with power.
Unless he can figure out a way to defy the "sabermetrics" tyrants and "pitch-count" nazis that have come to lord over the game ; systematically dismantling and destroying the once fine art of pitching , he will end up like all of his contemporaries with a bum arm. He needs *to learn how* to go the distance(9 innings) , that is, set out with the intent in mind to complete his starts
Agreed. Skenes will be one of the top pitchers in his generation. Also, "just a reminder", the other dude in the vid that hit a homerun is a pitcher whom having the 2nd major elbow surgery rehab...

I've always said it's gotta be a major disadvantage for opposing pitchers trying to get Ohtani out......since Shohei himself knows the art of pitching just about as well as anybody in the game.
They've all been briefed on what opposing players will likely try to do to them, so Im not convinced there's any advantage for Ohtani because he also pitches.

@gomjabbar6246 what do you mean by "hanging" or "non standard" pitch? I think attacking hitters nowadays is all about pitch tunneling (how can you make the early trajectory of your next pitch look like the early trajectory of the last pitch, but end up in a different spot) and swing path analytics (does this batter's swing mechanics and swing plane allow him a good probability to hit the high inside fastball vs breaking pitches). And then there's situational considerations like, how does this batter change their approach with 2 strikes or with a man on second?
@@nickgazo676what ?? This is obvious! They don’t have the mind or the tough process or body language of a pitcher… no matter how you get briefed … What don’t you get ?
@@nickgazo676 You can tunnel your curveball and fastball to have identical paths until the break. Whenever that break or recognition starts to be clearly a breaking pitch, the batter still has to identify how much the pitch will break. Maybe an average hitter can identify a curveball at the same point as Ohtani. Ohtani should be able to see in the mechanics of the pitch if that curveball is going to break the 'normal' amount or not.
@@omilu7 Ohtani truly doesn't want any one getting hurt. Ohtani himself got a facial bone fractured by a practice fouled ball in the field and also got arm injury of foul ball to drugout before. He never wants anyone in ballparks to experience what he had experienced!

Ohtani was able to succeed in his two-way game player both pitch and hitter because of his unique and unprecedented way of thinking and actions in the process of his development. He was not born as a unicorn, an alien, or a superhuman from the beginning. He has voluntarily devised a method, and through hard work has transformed himself into a player who can succeed in both pitching and hitting! In youth baseball days, there would be large number of boys who want to be an ace pitcher and the No. 4 hitter both, if they possible. However, the reality is that many boys player give up to be both, as they go on to serect specializing in one or the other, whichever is relatively more dominant. Shohei Ohtani may have been one of them, but he is a rare person who, even after entering high school, did not give up that dream and continued to want to play both pitching and hitting if possible. He is the kind of person who never gave up on his dream of doing something that no one had ever done before. Naturally, many adults around him must have tried to persuade him that it was reckless. But Ohtani did not listen to their advice and did not give up on his dream. Even as a high school student, he was someone who dared to try to realize a dream that was said to have little chance of success. He analyzed himself to determine how he could reach the pinnacle of both pitching and hitting, grasped his current situation, identified what he lacked, and analyzed and wrote down what he needed to do to achieve his goals. He came up with specific methods to achieve his goals, including ways to strengthen and improve his baseball skills, processes to strengthen his basic physical strength, effective training methods, research on dietary methods to grow bigger, his outlook on life, his way of life, and even his lifestyle. And he has continued to do so from his high school days to the present.. This is what makes Ohtani unique, and the producer who made Ohtani what he is today is Ohtani himself. This process is recorded in the 81 matrix sheets of the development scenario he drew up himself when he was 16 years old. Although Ohtani is blessed with innate qualities, he is neither a unicorn nor an alien, but a person who is able to continue his daily efforts and self-improvement in order to achieve his goals. That is what has made him what he is today. What we should learn from him is the process of thinking and acting to achieve his goals that he practiced. As you can see from the photos and videos of Shohei Ohtani in high school, his body then as a boy was tall but skinny and completely different from today's Ohtani. Even when he joined a Japanese professional baseball team after graduating from high school, he was still as skinny as a different person from today's Otani. In order to build his current physique, he devised not only a training regimen but also a diet regimen that dictated what, how much, and when he ate, and he practiced it stoically and without neglect. And that made him to be the Shohei Otani of today. Of course, his stoicism was influenced by his high school baseball education in Japan, and it is undeniable that his childhood was influenced by his upbringing in a Japanese culture with a long history. If Ohtani had been educated and raised in the United States with the same DNA, there is a strong possibility that the Shohei Ohtani of today would not have appeared in the MLB. DNA is not the only genetic factor that determines our personality, mindset, and even body shape. Environmental factors, the environment in which a person is raised and the culture in which he or she is educated, can make a difference in the life of the same person. Ohtani was not born a genius, but a genius who can work hard to improve himself.
@@laughaway7955 Ha! Yeah he said a lot of good stuff. I'll say it a little more simply. The best thing you can do as a hitter is" Goatani The Ball"! That he does on a regular basis.
Skenes gotta be proud that even though Ohtani crushed the one…that he got to be apart of such an amazing moment is an achievement. Goose Gossage once said he never regretted any pitch, even the home runs hit off him were all great.
Skenes lost this first round, everyone is forgetting that Ohtani is a rehabbing pitcher and he still managed to hit a homerun off Skenes 100mph fast ball...
As great as this show down was, its still does not compare to Ohtani vs Trout in the WBC. Ironically Shohei was the pitcher in that match up. The man's skill sets is just mind blowing !
Honestly, this is the type of pitcher that will make a better hitter in the future of MLB. Some kid is watching and studying Skeenes so that he can hit .
I was lucky enough to see Skenes pitch at LSU a bunch of times. You can hear the ball explode almost. He is just different. I would be very nervous to be a batter.
It’s hard for pitcher to fool ohtani. I meant he also one of known pitcher in MLB right now. He got a mindset of the pitcher even just 50% accuracy. That’s a lot in professional sport.
Reminds me of fastballer Nolan Ryan grooving one to Bo Jackson and Bo hammered that fastball. The center fielder just stood there and didn't even bother to turn around.
Great match-up but i feel that the pitcher has the advantage. They set up the tempo of the game as long as it's not quick continuous throws. If your a hitter you're going to hit one hard if the pitch is one after another quick of throws
Shohei commented today at the red carpet show, for first at bat i couldnt see the ball cuz it was too fast and second at bat i just rondomly swong and went deep😂
Baseball wins! amazing match up! A potentially better one would be Ohtani throws triple digit heater to Judge (or Soto). Hopefully we see that next season.
If Paul Skenes hadn't given up on being a two-way player, he could have hit a home run off Ohtani for revenge as soon as tomorrow. But we all know that's never going to happen.
@@kami_1789 yup, when "ordinary pitchers" like Cole or Strider have UCL issues, they're out for a long time. But our unicorn just blasted another homer today!😊
That home run by Shohei off of a 100mph blazing fastball is a true welcome to the big leagues moment for Skenes.
Paul Skenes better than 70%+ pitchers in MLB just by default, but Ohtani is no doubt the best player in the league.
I saw South Carolina Ethan Petry catch 100 mph down the middle and went deep last year. Skeines is a,bull dog. He willed LSU to natty.
I’d walk him before giving him a pitch to hit.
Off of any other pitcher, that’s an easy fly off (you can tell that the CF thought that too), but because of the 4 seam spin, it travelled out.
@@adugie3827 Funny that Skenes knew it was gone off the bat.
This is the type of star power MLB needs
These guys were born to do what they do. Both have the perfect size, and physiques for the game. Ohtani has to be more than 210 pounds. I'd say more like 220. All muscle. Skenes is like Verlander, and Strasburg. A Clydesdale Horse.

When he's locating he's almost unhittable.
오타니 사랑해❤
If Paul Skenes hadn't given up on being a two-way player, he could have hit a home run off Ohtani for revenge as soon as tomorrow. But we all know that's never going to happen.
Ohtani's not pitching until next year?
@@kami_1789 yup, when "ordinary pitchers" like Cole or Strider have UCL issues, they're out for a long time. But our unicorn just blasted another homer today!😊
Wasn't gonna happen
