Let's keep it 100. Ohtani is the single reason millions now tune into MLB or have come back.
Ohtani is a freak of nature. People keep putting human expectations on him and keep getting reminded hes not human.
I'm Waken, I'm Jaken, and I'm Bailen.
Nothing like a good morning bailen
Jaken off lol
jaken around
Hit it and quit it, solo style
I am first, and foremost, Foolish
Bailey being in front of the in-studio mic was a great touch
The Guy seems great, does he have a channel or something ?
@@WillyLigami94yeah, Foolish Baseball, great baseball analysis
@@WillyLigami94 yeah, just make sure you watch his main channel Foolish Bailey instead of his second channel Foolish Baseball, it's a lot worse than his main channel idk why he bothers tbh
The Dodgers 1-6 is absolutely brutal to pitch to.
They wake on my jake till im foolish
Haters or not, at least we can all agree that he's the most productive pitcher in rehab 😂
I'm a simple man. I see Foolish Bailey, I click.
Shohei Ohtani underwent the most dreaded surgery in all of sports. He went to a new organization and league. His interpreter is going to prison for theft and fraud.
He STILL got better.
Amazing! Showtime Shohei! 🔥🔥🔥
Because he’s a all time great and GOAT.
He learned to compartmentalize since he was a teenager.
He is built for the big moments. 🥶 ice runs through his veins
That is some insane mental fortitude
Ohtani was criticized by many for being both a pitcher and a hitter before he came to the majors. Among them were Japanese baseball legends, whom Ohtani had admired for a long time. But he has said nothing back and has silenced them with his efforts.
For him, it was special to both pitch and hit, and he even said he loved the tension of pitching.
I would love to see him pitch as a starting pitcher, hit a home run, and make history again.
Jakes look is giving me the kid from the Princess Bride that the grandpa was telling the story to
Bailey and Jake always a treat.
As a fan from the UK, I really enjoy Bailey being on the pod(s). Very informative for us rookies over the pond. Get him signed up Jomboy, you know it makes sense
I don’t think Bailey wants it in terms of actually being in NY.
mate you don't need to tell everyone you're British
@@00millern not your cup of tea?
@@WilliamSt.Clair1399also, you know, the gambling advertising…

Goatani.
Loved the episode guys
Best discussion of the swing data I've heard.
Great, this one was great!!
The first time I seen John Smilotz pitch was Three Rivers stadium in the 92 NLCS. He even got a hit that game. The last time was a regular season game in 95 against the Padres. We sat in right field right there just to the left of Tony Gwynn
when jake starts a sentence i truly never know where it’s going. “you know”?
Foolish Bailey make the best videos. Kudos.
I agree Ohtani started taking his batting to another level last year. I was very skeptical at 28 years old he found a new gear, but so far this year it appears he may have indeed found a new gear. Do you think the Dodgers coaches and being surrounded by better talent have taken his game to yet another level? He'll have a hard time getting the RBI title for the triple crown as he has Mookie ahead of him stealing his RBIs LOL.
love when we get foolish
Foolish Bailey on wake n jake, you know what that means
Lol cropping bailey so he's sitting in the chair is a nice touch
38:28 Bailey's reaction to Jake calling Yordan a "swing with reckless abandon" hitter in the same category as Stanton and Schwarber is how we all felt
Subscribed to the Talkin Baseball Channel, but first time Wake and Jaker. Immediately subscribed to this channel after listening, looking forward to the many more episodes 👍🏼
I think when all is said and done Shohei will be the unanimous greatest ball player of all time
I’m happy they mentioned about my greatest closer Saffate san 🎉
Glad to see Bailey rocking his usual striped shirt today
Shohei is the new Kobe of Los Angeles
Outfielder cannot be in Shohei's mind ... he wants to be unicorn and that is what Dodgers signed him for (being unique = $$$). He will pitch as starter for sure, maybe he will change mind and entertain the idea of a position player after he win a Cy Young ...
this episode single handedly made my day
Watching every Ohtani at bat is like watching Soto. Ohtani’s discipline this year is different, and everything is crushed.
I agree. He has it ALL.
Blast contact % is the one stat that looks like it correlates with good hitters. All the others are just cool to look at and find outliers (like Mookie's bat speed is super low)
I believe Shohei definitely benefits when he has lineup protection. Last year he was intentionally walked 21 times, second only to Jose Ramirez who had 22 in 21 more games and 92 more plate appearances. This year, zero so far with Freddie Freeman batting behind him. Last year he had Trout, but Trout was out with injuries for half the season, and he's a righty so there were some times where they walked Shohei to get a better left/right matchup. Can't really do that with Freddie since he's also a lefty.
The best stat/data/metric information podcast all around.
37:47 If I recall, wasn't it an oblique injury that officially ended Ohtani's season last year?
Uh oh Bailey mentioned the Podcast Which Will Not Be Named
Being a DH is hard is one of the takes of all time
“Stop calling me the graph”
Other players dh and the narrative is “really sucks you can’t play him on defense. Obtain at DH is now “well DH is actually hard”😂😂🤦♂️
I think Ohtani could be a lights out closer.
GOAT shit
I think when it comes to shohei performing more better, It has to be credited to the dodger talent. Knowing that he isn't the only one who can be productive at the plate , he can take the walk , take more pitches knowing he has other dangerous sluggers/hitters. Back with the Angles it was only trout to be honest , and even then his heath issues arose and was never built around his talent.
Pls don't forget Shohei is still a rehab pitcher, his pitching arm is still in recovery. Therefore Shohei is not in his 100% healthy condition like his last 3 seasons (except fr last Aug '23 after he got arm injury). Besides, recently Ohtani's last season oblige injury came back a little to him during the Padres series, that's why Ohtani couldn't get hits in the 2nd game and rested in the next game. Lucky that Ohtani was back healthier (though not 100% for his back as he commented) and able to make hits every day against Giants including a majestic HR almost into the San Francisco Cove.
Babe WAKE UP new Wake n Jake w Bailey dropped
why’d u say mookie like if it was a iffy about him being in that top percent of hitters when he’s prolly the second best hitter behind ohtani
36:34 "what would we be saying if the Red Sox were in the NL Central"
We'd be saying they're a game above .500 and in 3rd place. Jake I'm begging you to watch a game outside of the NL East
Why doesn't the player with the most bat speed correlate to the highest exit velo
They might not hit the ball in the sweet spot every time. For example, Mookie has a slower bat speed, but is able to recognize what kind of pitch it is faster than other players, allowing him to make best use of his bat speed.
Jake's haircut is fire
Really enjoy the barrel and bat speed stats talk especially since the Mets are so awful
Jake is obviously just worried that the eggheads in the Yankees analytics department are going to use this batspeed information in the dumbest way you possibly can - that doesn't mean everyone's going to, or that the information isn't valuable! And yes, the "bat speed" alone is really not important at all, it's everything else they're introducing paired with the bat speed, like swing length+bat speed that you were on board with
Alec Bohm is currently the best hitter in baseball
if hypothetically ohtani cant pitch why would you risk injury as a corner outfielder where he might have slightly more value than an average guy vs just putting him at dh to maximize his best and most valuable skill hitting. just to open up the dh spot for a guy worse than ohtani. makes no sense. love bailey though!
Ozuna, from the Braves?
😂😅
I dont understand why everyone sleeps on will smith, its not just their 1,2,3 its 1,2,3,4 thats a problem
bbailey all about #straightshitting on the baseball?
hitter? you mean better?
The main thing that will hold back the Dodgers is starting pitching in the playoffs. Thats the main weakness. Regarding the bottom of the lineup, they have plenty of trade chips to make a move to improve that at the deadline. The outfield is a little suspect right now, Hernandez is boom or bust, Outman has been horrible offensively, and we dont know if Pages is going to continue his brilliant start of the season. And again at the deadline, they will add an everyday outfielder if necessary. I think the trade ammo up and down the minors is the extra scary thing about the Dodgers.
foolish bailey more like ghoulish bailey, dudes missing half his body!
Easiest click
The best hitter you say? Well thanks Capt. Obvious
Ohtani is not just the greatest baseball player ever. He without question, is. He is the best ATHLETE ever. He is better at baseball than Michael Jordan was at Basketball. I said what I said. Fight me.
I kinda love thinking about this cause a single star basketball player can impact the game so much more than the absolute best baseball player in the world. Maybe if the dodgers do manage to win like 3+ World series with shohei people outside of baseball will be able to recognize just how incredible he is. But it's unlikely that he'll be able to impact those games even close to the way Jordan so clearly led those bulls teams.
The real chance is if he pitches successfully in the playoffs. We can only hope 😊
Judge, Acuna , etc .. have all been inconsistent. They don’t deliver year after year.
Not the best hitter in baseball.
Othani has no protection in Angles and he gets no credit.
He has all the protection and now his stats is padded 😂😂😂
Haters always gonna hate
Don’t give a sheet about how talented he is. He should be suspended and all parties have covered up this crime. Yes a crime. An illegal bookie.
