@@surfwriter8461 indeed, we are all blessed. not once in a generation, once in a century..see, we weren't around the last time a 2 way player did it like this. 100 years ago, babe ruth.. 50/50 will probably stand forever. 50 bombs is a big powerful homerun terrority. 50 base stealer is certainly someone who couldn't hit 50 bombs.

@@ninersnation3298 You're right except in the reference to Babe Ruth. The game and the conditions were very different in Ruth's day, and even Ruth didn't achieve the two-way greatness for an extended period as Ohtani has done.
@@surfwriter8461 even if ohtani gets that coveted 50/50, babe ruth is not below Ohtani, Why? hitter: 714 hr, 2873 hits and a .342 career average...as a pitcher: back to back years of 20+ wins, 2.28 career era, 107 CG, 17 shutouts. if there was a CY award, he would won 2X. Again, the babe was only pitching until like 24 years old. Ohtani will never reach the hitter the Babe was. Pitching, I'm not sure Ohtani will match Babe's career win of 94 and his 2.28 era...Ohtani is 30 years old and is still with win 38..It will take Ohtani a 50/50 and a 100 career wins to pass the Babe since Babe is so far ahead in the hitting category.
Also, no one seems to be mentioning that he has batted lead off, or 2nd all year.If he was hitting 3rd or 4th he would have at least a 110 RBI's by now.
Bro I really can’t believe it- I told myself he might do it again on his bobble head night . A home run. Sure enough he comes through . Shohei Ohtani you freaking mother lover. Freaking awesome
Nobody will ever be worth that money to play a game as long as there are homeless campouts in every major city and a ton of other causes that could actually benefit and create a better world. Professional athletes are sadly worshipped in society now.
@@LC-oe3zx getting Shohei on your team opens up like the entirety of Japan to you in terms of viewership and company contracts. Having Yamamoto too only locks that in entirely
Decoy should be the official mascot of the LA Dodgers! He brings so much joy and smile to so many people! And he's a lucky charm!🍀 How can you hate Shohei & Decoy! They are so adorable and they look so good together👦🏻🐶💕
@@CaptainSurfy Yeah, though I wonder how many more HR's Ohtani would have if he played in a smaller park like NY more often. Little different when park sizes are different in baseball.
@@CaptainSurfy Ohtani is in a league by himself above judge. I am a Dodger fan and I own a judge jersey, so no disrespect. But we are watching a player that wont be seen again for a long time.
I agree, and in a hundred years from now people wish they saw the Goat play, but we are living in the Ohtani era and It feels like heaven on earth watching the Goat play in real time.
His dog's called "Deko-pin" in Japan, meaning "cute forehead." There's a saying that dogs have wide foreheads & cats have narrow ones. Maybe "Deko-pin" was picked for pronunciation reasons?
I agree, Ohtani's homeruns are bit off balance but still hits it out, Judge always gets meatball pitches right down the middle hitting in a little league ballpark.
That wasn’t a check swing. Not even close. A check swing is when the bat gets pulled back or stops just after crossing the plate after moving forward. This is more of a 70% swing.
@@edwin-vv8bw sorry, as much as i like ohtani, he's not gonna get to those numbers unless he goes absolutely off in the next 29 games. right now he is predicted to go 50 - 52 i think
His leadoff HR is finally back! I think he's figured out that even if his swing breaks down, he can get over it if he makes good contact. I'm sure he'll hit 10 or more home runs in September.
We are so desensitized to the greatness that we can’t process what’s going on right in front of our eyes. His 40-40 is already unreal for a recovering pitcher. But everybody just goes what about 50-50? Seriously, everyone needs to just stop and take it in stride and appreciate that we are even witnessing it.
Those who’ve been following Ohtani for a minute knows the man can literally play every single position on the field at an elite level, and he bats and runs at an elite level.
Of course Shohei will homer and steal a base on his and Decoy's bobblehead night! The first pitch (fetch?) by Decoy is also TOO ADORABLE!! The first one of its kind, too! Both Shohei and his pup are historymakers :)
I'm 70 and been a baseball fan for more than 60 years and Ohtani is the best all around baseball player I have seen.
There's literally nothing he can't do at peak level.
Glad u didn't bomb the whole island huh...
同感だな！！
That’s awesome, and I got to see him in his prime in person!
44 and been watching baseball since I was 4 years old, and agree completely!
I'm 84. I've been watching baseball since black and white tv. He is truly a once in a generation act! I must rest now 🧓
I quit watching mlb baseball like around 2010. I came back watching for just Ohtani in 2018. Ohtani brings back a lot fun in baseball.
You're just a little off, since Ohtani is more than once in a generation. He's once in the history of the sport. You can rest now.

Ohthani surely makes dream comes true. Truly genius. Let's attain 50-50 🔥🔥🔥
Shohei Ohtani hits for average and steals bases like Ty Cobb and hits HRs and pitches like Babe Ruth.
Ohtani is the most likeable athlete I've ever seen .
Agree. My favorite athlete showtime Shohei
1 HR, 2 hits, 2 stolen bases, 3 runs. Great performance. Please give Decoy lots of treats today 🐶

Never get tired of watching his play. His personality is also really charming. I just love him so much!

He's gonna be the best all around player of all time by the time he's done with baseball. Worth every penny
He already is. Dude ain’t pitching this year and he’s the mvp as a DH 🤣🤣🤣, let’s not forget he’s an incredible position player too
Wonder how much sales revenue the Dodgers made so far with Ohtani 🤔

Everytime i go to the batting cages, its always fun but humbling. It makes me appreciate what separates Shohei from the average Joe
