The fans and the media are solely focused on Ohtani but this game demonstrates how criminally underrated the Japanese baseball league is. Five NPB pitchers combining for one run in 7 innings against this stacked US lineup and two homers coming out of the best sluggers in the Japanese league
Agreed Ohtani gets the credit, but he doesn’t get a chance in the 9th, w/o his team keeping the lead.
Americans live under the rocks in their own little world, facts
NPB > MLB
The elite pitchers in the current NPB will be successful in the Big Leagues, not sure about the hitters though
Ohtani is an amazing Orval player. USA plays with speed and power. Japan has finesse and fundamentals. Overall an amazing game. I thank all of the Japanese the came to our stadium
Trout vs Ohtani with 2 outs in the 9th, You couldn't have wrote a better script! This tournament just got me back into baseball!
And the count was 3-2 as well. It was like straight out of a movie!
and all his fastballs were 100mph+ against Trout. That shows Ohtani was really pumped up in that situation. You won't see Ohtani throwing 4 100mph+ fastballs in a row in midseason.
Where you been you missed some good ball these past couple of seasons
baseball is minor sports
@@user-cp2cd7fk1m baseball is more popular than soccer in Japan
Hands down the best World Baseball Classic I’ve ever watched-and the most poetically fitting ending to it!
Ohtani vs Trout, Captain vs Captain, teammate vs teammate, in a 3-2 thriller!
USA no longer has the best baseball
@@fredarosado4470 yes they do, they just didnt take their best pitchers.

@@rafaelisslaam1894
You don't seem to understand why Japan has won the WBC 3 out of 5 already. Besides, Japan were missing some of their best players and pitchers too.
Japan is better than US at elemination tournament, because of their baseball style. USA won't win even if they had Cole, Scherzer with them. But, if the WBC championship game was like a 7 game World Series style, then USA will do better than Japan. As long as WBC takes the Soccer World Cup style tournament, Japan will always be the favorite team to win.
both teams played awesome congrats to Japan from Mexico.

@@fredarosado4470 2026 hopefully it is changed.
Many of the American’s excuse of why they lost was because they didn’t have their “best” pitchers out there playing. That’s somehow Japans fault?! Would they say the same if US had won? I don’t think so.
Exactly the reason why they say they "don't take WBC seriously'', because it exposes how the majority of the MLB is powered by foreign players
If we had our best pitching we win this game
Are you talking about the us or Japan?
not really an “excuse” as it is giving context. it’s common knowledge that many of the best pitchers in the world are american, which none of the elite competed in the WBC while japan sent their dream team. nobody is saying japan doesn’t deserve the win, it’s just unfortunate we couldn’t see a full strength competition due to the politics that come with MLB teams
I agree. Japan won and that is all.
Also as an American, i can say that Nobody deserved it more than our Japanese friends. Congratulations Japan.🇯🇵🇺🇸

@@kingmewto7148 ok kid we believe you 💀
Guys, I will be honest with you all. I grew up breathing baseball - I mean playing it at the park, watching the pros every night, devouring the box scores in the morning paper, studying all the strategy, the stats, the beautiful history of the Bambino, Teddy Ballgame, Jackie, all the way up to Griffey, Jeter and Chipper in my childhood.
Well, I admit I have fallen away. I hate, hate some of these rule changes like the random extra inning base runners. I sigh at the expense of the games, concessions, apparel. I am mad at all the anti-dramatic strikeouts, walks, solo homers and guys not stealing bases and putting the ball in play. I’ve stopped watching a few years back, because I’ve felt they’re trying to turn baseball into something it isn’t supposed to be. Baseball is cerebral: its drama comes not from an overstimulated race against a clock, but rather from one’s imagination of the endless possibilities, the hundreds of parallel strands that just might all somehow weave together.
But tonight - Samurai Japan vs. Team USA. Ohtani vs. Trout. How can you not be a romantic, my friend. What a flood of emotion: everything I have ever loved about this beautiful game.
Thank you Japan 🇯🇵for your talent, teamwork, selfless play, pure class, and for your legendary hero Shohei Ohtani. Truly deserving. Thank you to 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇺🇵🇷🇻🇪and all the others. Long live this incredible sport and much love to everyone across the globe who got to enjoy a spectacular moment. 🥇⚾️❤️
Thank you and Godbless you
I feel the same way. A beautifully articulate eulogy to the game I once loved.
Tonight made me fall in love all over again, it was magic.
lets go mets
got chills reading your comment, couldn't agree more
Thanks for your awesome comment!
First of all, as a Japanese, I would like to thank Mike Trout.
I heard he called on his MLB stars to join him in the WBC.
That made this tournament even better.
He's the leader in all of baseball.
It's not easy for a champion to stay champion, but USA continues to prove it can be done.
Enjoy this dreamy time a little more, and tomorrow we'll be back to reality...
And I am convinced that the MVP of this tournament is Google's translation function.
😂
lmaooo the ending
even though your words are translated into English, the entire comment made complete sense with above average grammar and choice of words!
What a great game and a wonderful idea this tournament is. Wish it was played in the fall instead, but understand why it isn't. Congrats !!

As a person that never plays baseball this inspired me so much, it made me want to play. I could imagine how the young kids of the new generation dreamed of having the title of "World Champions".
bro you indirectly roast this game
In Japan, baseball is deeply rooted in the culture and played at every level, from elementary school to college. Even outside of formal teams, kids frequently play catch, and there are countless private clubs for both children and adults, as well as independent leagues.
On Sunday mornings, you can see people playing in riverbed baseball grounds.
This culture has matured over generations since baseball was imported to Japan about 150 years ago.
They all knew the USA was the best baseball country, but dreamed of “someday…”
This victory also belongs to those nameless people who have played and loved baseball.
It was an absolutely great game made not only by these amazing players but also everyone who have loved this sport, most likely including you.
Thank you, everyone.

@@Huyle18 won the championship 3 out of 5 times since WBC began in 2006. That's a huge feat thus far considering no other country including USA won more than once.
@Steve Kim yes defintely I have always regarded japan as a powerhouse in baseball. But still plenty of people who think they are below minor league.
beautifully said!
Can’t ask for more in the finals:
1. defending champions vs. two-time champions
2. American sluggers vs. Japanese excellent pitchers
3. three-time American League MVP (hitting) vs. American League MVP & two-way player (pitching). Both of them happened to be the captains. Ultimate face-off in the ninth inning.
4. evenly-matched game 2:3
Definitely the supreme classic in WBC history!!

Same here.. never was into baseball til shotime
Let's go Japan from Italy! It was a honor knowing that we lost to the champions. 🇮🇹🤝🇯🇵
Ohtani is a freak of nature! I still would have given him the MVP last year for his hitting and pitching over 62 HR man Aaron Judge! To hit 34 home runs and 95 RBI AND have a 15-9 pitching record is something that not many have ever been able to accomplish !! 😵💫

I’m so happy to see Trout and Ohtani play meaningful games. Feels like a movie script to see these two face each other for the final at bat.
Yeah the only way we probably will if they stay on the angels
In the final showdown, Otani didn't allow Trout's bat to touch the ball and struck out swinging, but the special fight for proud by teammates touched our heartstrings.
Yeah. This will be rare as long as they play for the Angels.
Japan did not disappoint, this was a very well played game.
Shohei's last ball, the sweeper.. It is incredible!! I can just say nothing but WOW.
Team Japan. You deserve to win. And Team America. You also well done.
NPB pitchers are just insane. Didn't know they had this much talent. It seems they have a good baseball system. Everyone throwing 95+ with good control. Ohtani great as usual. Congrats to Japan.

As a diehard fan of Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, i am glad to say that USA played incredibly despite not having best pitchers.

I clearly rember what Ichiro said at press conference after his retirement match. "Shohei will and must become the best player in the world". 4 years after that, Shohei became the best player in the world by winning WBC, and not only that he cloed the game and got MVP. How can we not be romantic about baseball ?

@@purwantiallan5089 yeah maybe if the US tried a little harder they’d have the best pitchers. Sadly they didn’t which is why Japan won.

@@einzelganger09 I would love the US players to play an away game ( or though you could argue they do that already😅)...seriously they should try to incorporate a regional home and away format especially in the group stages. Why limit the big games to 1 game...why not have korea v japan twice ( home and away) in the groups.The semis and final will always be in the US though for tv and commercial interests...and the bigger stadiums. However, it would be fascinating to see the US in Japan or korea at some point...it would be some experience for the fans and players. Maybe one day a finals could be played there.
Big congratulations japan!!!!! You guys fought hard and deserve the win!! USA will try harder next time but good game!! From USA, Minnesota, much love to yall!
The WBC is the best thing to happen to baseball in the past 50 years. MLB should do a lot more and spend a lot more money on the globalization of the game. I think is a win win situation for everyone involved, but specially for MLB and all the teams. Ohtani is the man of the hour, he's paving the way to a wonderful long carreer. Congratulations to Team Japan, from a Venezuelan in Spain. PS: We want high level baseball in Europe too, we've always been forgoten by MLB. Just come and open a new branch here with teams in Italy, the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany and Spain. You guys won't regret it!!! 😉😉😉

This game, this tournament was the best ever in the WBC. Being from the US, I wanted the win, but if we couldn't do it, I'm glad Japan won. They deserved it. They played better when it counted. For those out there not familiar with the NPB, you should check it out. Great quality BB and I highly recommend going to some games if you're ever in Japan. You won't be disappointed.
This tournament was the best ever in every sports event
Which game have you watched in Japan? I’m just curious 🥰
I am a Tokyo Giants fan…but would love to go to Hiroshima to watch Carp for their intensity 😂 I also want to watch Roki pitch in person ❤
Saw Messi vs Mbappe in the world cup final and Ohtani vs Trout in the WBC final in only 4 months of time span.
I'm happy to be a fan who can enjoy many sports.
both tied for the greatest sporting events ever in my humble opinion.
The WBC's fever hasn't cooled down yet.Respect all players, people involved, fans.
Seeing two best countries in the world play against each other is enjoyable!
The WBC gives the sport the chance to grow way beyond its current boundaries. I’ve barely any interest in MLB but found myself waking up in UK this morning and wanting to watch the highlights of this immediately!! Hopefully the powers that be realise how powerful this tournament could be for the growth of the sport and give it the chance to become as big as world cups in other sports! Well done Japan and their supporters!!
Baseball deserves a lot of recognition
I love both football and baseball as an ordinary Japanese guy. These two sports are equally entertaining and worth attention. Hope WBC 2023 have boosted international interest in baseball

What a great match! I'm happy not that Japan won but that two great teams from the two countries showed their best performance.

Never imagined in those days that I could ever watch such a great game as this one.

this is really good for baseball globally. Im american but i absolutely was rooting for japan. Now we just need the same in basketball. I do not think it will take long. But we also need to see US win world cup!!!!
Those eastern European national basketball teams are legit. With populations smaller than the average state in America in most cases. Pound for pound, they are already heads above America. Imagine one of those teams having the luxury of drawing from a population the size of Japan 😳

What a well deserved win! I remembered when Japan won the olympic gold, people doubted them. Some even went as far as saying they're at most a triple A team. I hope this proves that team Japan and the NPB are as good as the major league
it's been over 2 months and im still completely dumbfounded at the astounding amount of stars that had to line up to produce a wbc final that ended with the matchup that literally everyone in the world had been waiting for

Grow up.
@@raymondthomas1574 neither has Trout or Judge. People figured out a long time ago that one player even the best player doesn't win you a world series.

I’ve always loved watching Japanese baseball players, but this is next level. Ohtani is one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen in any sport.
Ohtani is possibly the best ever to play the game of Baseball I haven’t watched Baseball in years but this guy is possibly the second coming of the Babe he can throw 100 mile an hour and right down the the middle and he is an absolute hitting machine it’s so rare to see a pitcher that can hit like that he’s on his way to being the best ever he’s so good
9:14 シュワーバーの脳筋ホームラン本当に好き
Congratulations Japan!🇯🇵
Thank you America!🇺🇸
I thank and admire the two nations.
And in the last round, I was moved to tears when I saw Otani and Trout, the aces who are active in the same team, fighting. As baseball powerhouses, I am happy that the United States and Japan were able to play in the finals.
Thank you again!
A friend for life! And rivals! I love America!🇺🇸❤🇯🇵
a great baseball game to me is like this, when the number of runs are low because both are fighting so hard. I love watching baseball games like this. congrats to japan!
It was a great game. Both teams played well 🏆🥇🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🥈
ありがとう!

I'm embarrassed to admit that prior to this year I had no idea about the World Baseball Classic at almost 30 years old. Boy, am I glad I tuned in for these last few games of the contest. They should really do this every other year instead of every 3. I'm sure the traction among fans and players is there.
On another note, what a win for Team Samurai Japan! I was hoping for a USA win, but Japan has some absolutely elite pitching arms and play such a brand of pure, oldschool ball. Speed on the bases, plate discipline, balls in play to move runners. Congrats Japan, hope we get a rematch in 2026!
Agree. David Ortiz jokingly said let's do it every year but I think every twi years allows for the expectation and the sense of urgency by the players to do it.
For planning purposes 3 or 4 might be easier of course
@@acruzro95 It would also give guys so many more opportunities to be involved in a WBC. Most guys don't have a 20 year career in the pros with no statistical drop-off, so they wouldn't feel robbed of their shot to represent their countries.
If a players best years are from their age 25-32 seasons, they may only get 2 shots at it at age 27 and 30(if they stay healthy that is). If it were every 2 years, they could get a shot at 26, 28, 30, and 32.
They won the tournament with only 3 mlb players. NPB is on another level.
THIS IS THE BEST WBC EVER
入場が大谷とトラウトで始まって最後は大谷とトラウトで終わるなんてすごいストーリーだった
This rarely happens in tournament play, but tonight the best TEAM won. Japan earned it in every sense of the word. They played the game better than anyone else in the tournament and they got the prize. They played team baseball and they played the baseball they learned way back in Little League; solid fundamental baseball. They work hard at every phase of the game, the fight on each pitch and they don't make mistakes. What shines through most of all in the play of Samurai Japan is the team's discipline and respect for the game. As a baseball fan I find them to be an absolute joy to watch, even while they're beating my team.
I think it said it all when Ohtani, as captain, went to pick up the trophy. They gave him the tournament MVP, and he accepted it gracefully, but you could tell all he really wanted was to take the winner's trophy and get it to his team to celebrate their success.
Hats off to the USA for a great run and to the players who gave their time and talent to their country. There is no shame in coming up short to Samurai Japan in this instance.
Baseball won big with this tournament and the right team won the tournament.
u do understand USA didnt take their best pitchers right? otherwise, Japan wouldn't even stand a chance
@@rafaelisslaam1894 did USA lose from pitching or because their All star batters couldn’t score? Lol funny excuse
@@rafaelisslaam1894 Hopefully they will send their best pitchers next time ;-) If you support a team in the US, make sure you make it known you want to see your favorite players in the WBC. If they have enough pressure from fans, they *will* allow it. I'm sick to death of this excuse. If you lose a tournament because you refuse to send your best players, that's pretty much the crappiest way to lose. If you're going to lose, at least lose swinging. My 2 cents.
All the games I watched were insane, seeing nations represented instead of teams almost makes it a different (any) sport! thats why the world cup hits different, we should have WBC more often 🤩
本当におめでとう、優勝してくれて、感動をくれてありがとう。

This was an amazing tournament. Seeing teams with little recognition fighting hard in the pool games, and seeing my team Puerto Rico fight hard in this tournament. So much change of events, excitement all around. Truly one of the best WBC all around. Props to Japan for their effort since the beginning of the tournament, they fought hard and their win was well deserved. I will love to see a Puerto Rico vs Japan in the next one. From the land of the Team Rubio, thank you for this amazing sport of Baseball!⚾️🇵🇷

As a St. Louis Cardinals fan born and raised in USA I say CONGRATULATIONS JAPAN! You guys are absolute studs in baseball and will always be! Great game!🇺🇸🇯🇵❤
Please remember Japan fell in love with Nootbaar and will miss him. I can promise that there will more Japanese fans rooting for Cardinals. Lars said hello to So Taguchi when Team Japan faced his team.
