This dude is 100% committed to his sport
He basically has to train twice as much as everyone else because he’s a hitter and a pitcher
And his sleep 😅. Maybe that's the key to his success lol
@@1amluv54 did he late for some practices?
“he is not a dude, you're a dude. this is a man”
@@kurtwagner350 really hope it doesn't lead to a shortened career. Kinda like a candle burning at both ends you know. He's a legend
These are true essentials. 0 flex. Everything is focused on getting the body right so he can perform on the field which shows dedication to the game.
Dude just likes to sleep haha
no cologne, no jewelry, only sport.
He's very frugal according to this interview.

@@kawaiipotatoes7888 Thanks for sharing, that was a treat! You can see them eyerolling a bit, like 'come on man how are you so humble and wholesome?' Haha
(yawn) boriing. Where the ice(jewelry) at?
Jk bcuz it ain’t that serious lol.
There you go ladies, he doesn't know if he snores or not. He's single af.
Of course he is, he’s like KD, full concentration on the game. Shohei plays two very important positions, some players struggle to play one of those positions at his level. No time for women. Lol
Listen...
If the Los Angeles Angels don't resign Shohei Ohtani when his current contract expires and he enters the Free Agent market, Shohei will be the object of many other teams and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be more than happy to pay 💰💰💰💰💰him his worth and when that happens he'll be so rich 😎he won't have wonder if he snores or not because he will be able to PAY someone else to snore FOR HIM!
@@williamjones6276 the thing is ...dude really doesn't care about the money. He took a 200 million dollar pay cut to come to the MLB. His first few years his mom managed all his money for him giving him an allowance ..which he saved the vast majority of. He's an incredibly loyal dude that loves what he does. I'm not saying he won't end up elsewhere I'm just saying it'll take more then a paycheck to lure him there.
@@kenosabiman just needs a team which gives him a realistic chance to play the world series.
@@kenosabiAll it takes is for the angels to make the playoffs this year. If the angels can get sho finally in the playoffs he will stay if not he’s outta there i think it’s that simple
this guy lives and breathes baseball. He's so humble and never really shows off or flashes his wealth.
Is that why he got busted for gambling and blamed his interpreter😂 your comment didn't age well 🤣
@@WehateBiden no your comment didn't age well, but being dumb you probably still think he gambled and ippei is innocent 😂
@@WehateBiden looks like your comment didn't age well
What a guy. I love how even his top 10 essentials are so humble
大谷翔平❤日本のレジェンド！！
he's a robot
Yeah it’s weird for me… I never seen such a humble essential for these type of videos
It’s the Japanese aspect I think met a lot of them and they’re super simple and chill
@Gerga Fafa.🍼 Shohei Ohtani Should give up Pitching and play 1Base
I love that his essentials are in line with his career. He takes it very seriously and isn’t taking his body for granted.
Kind of like Lebron- he also spends millions of dollars on taking care of his body.
The guy's a baseball monk, he literally only cares about baseball
Ciello ___
TB12 does it more then anyone
Even tho I’m not. Brady fan. I respect one who takes care of they body to further they game
more like inline with his JApanese sponsors
Staying healthy was always the biggest concern with him. Makes sense that so many of his essentials are focused on health and recovery.
I love how his top 10 essentials are either basic human needs or super specific gadgets for pro athletes. What a legend
This dude is built like a superhero.
And here you see how and why Shohei is a once in a generation player. All his essentials are about getting ready to be the best baseball player possible.
You don't get to his level unless your entire life is baseball
Can you elaborate? Usually once in a generation MLB players prove it over 10+ seasons in the MLB lmao not on a GQ YT video but what do I know about baseball right lol
@@mat4263 As a gooner I love Tomiyasu. Please respect Shohei mate. What he's doing is just unprecedented.
@@my450 when did I disrespect him or what he did in the 2021 season? I simply questioned giving him laurels he has not yet earned....Ichiro has earned being discussed among GOATs....Shohei has earned being discussed among greatest single seasons ever...
@@mat4263 I honestly think he’s proved enough in one season. To be able to be a two way player and hit 46 HR and and have a 3.18 ERA throughout 23 starts is pretty impressive in my eyes. I just hope he keeps it coming
Shohei isn't a once in a generation talent, he's a once in 100 year talent. I may never see another Shohei in my lifetime.
Agree 100%
Once in 200 years. We haven’t seen someone like this since babe Ruth.
Funny enough you may see more. He’s proving it can be done, others may be inclined to follow
@@taylorgang2237 oh for sure. he's the first of many to come.
Gotta get Roki to start hitting bombs 💣
When he said that his favorite manga was Slam Dunk, he officially became my favorite baseball player.
Absolute class of a Manga.
His essentials speak volumes about him as a person. His character and his dedication to his craft.
Man, this guy looks like they took the head of a 15 year old kid and put into the body of a giant westler, it's quite amazing
At 6'4" he's a tall dude too!
Totally my exact thoughts. His whole image It's just mesmerizing
@@fighterck6241 6'4??? He is taller than that.
Maybe, one of the perk of being Asian
6'2"
Shohei’s definitely in my top 10 things that are essential to me.
What a Big Body build but so baby face. He is so adorable and looks so humble.
He's like a sports manga protagonist after the end of the manga itself.
goro shigeno but real^
On his bat: "I think, overall, we had a good season together."
On his glove: "I think I'll never forget this season's glove."
He speaks with such respect for his equipment, like he views them as his friends. He is quite simply amazing!
It’s a very Japanese thing to do. Without them, they are nothing. Many aspects of their culture are very humble.
One of the best stories I've ever heard illustrating a player's character was about the time Ichiro threw his bat in frustration because he wasn't hitting, then sending a letter of apology to the man who made it for Mizuno. Respect and humility never go out of style.
Ichiro, another Japanese player, was the same way. There's a story that after he threw his bat in frustration, he tucked into bed that night and later wrote a letter to the bat manufacturer apologizing for such a "crude display".
I would do the same thing. I feel like a lot of baseball players are like this too. But it’s still great that he’s one of those players.
@@jd0192 thats why anime is better than american "anime" or cartoons
This guy is so fun to watch both on & off the field. So humble and a great role model for the kids
He is re-writing the history of MLB
You are fine asl
@@RobertKangchristianunix 🤓
Katie Lee you into asian guys?
@@merrittpalmer4349 bro leave me alone tf
Shohei Ohtani is a player that makes you want to learn everything about baseball (guilty as charged) 😊 He is as big a star as he is humble. Please never change.
Omg i’m learning baseball bc of himmmmm
Best player in baseball history. Humble too. Respect 🫡
I’m glad we’re finally getting this type of content for Ohtani. It’s way overdue. ❤️
SERIOUSLY!!!!
Why is that? I'm not a baseball fan, but by all measures he's one of the greatest sportsman in the world. I get the language barrier, but the MLB and the media should be promoting him as he's due.
Special athletes like this only come around once in a lifetime.
He actually took the question literal and truly thought of 10 essentials for him instead of trying to show off chains, watches, and lavish things like others
Yeah that's funny, he must have never watched previous episodes
No fancy watches here. Just all about wellness, conditioning and baseball. That's why he's the GOAT.
Such a simple dude. Welcome to the Dodgers🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Other sport stars: luxury perfume, luxury watches, Jordan shoes...
Ohtani: everything which helps him on baseball.
No expensive perfumes or ridiculous gold chains or sneakers to show off just pure baseball dude with real essentials. RESPECT
He does not need to flex…. He’s a nature
Different cultures
Why is this the focus of the video? Who cares if people want their chains and sneakers with them? It doesn’t make it ridiculous. 🤦🏾♂️
Why you throwing shades at deAndre Ayton 😂
@@akwl0l812 pretty much agree it's their money they earned it and they can spend it however they want ... to me it reminds me of peacocks or there's a few other animals where the male tries to strut their stuff to get the females to want to mate with them ,, i like more the male dolphins style where they just go take what they want and that's it lol
If someone deserved to be call Mr Baseball, Ohtani would be it. Dude live, breathe and eat baseball.
He’s like a big teddy bear 🥰
Shohei got me thinking about how I need to up my sleeping game
Yes if we can all just sleep like Ohtani, we can easily become just like him!
I get paid to smoke weed on my RUclips channel lmao😅 i got ads on my videos .. The pandemicc showed alot of people you can’t rely on a 9-5 job!
@@SevenHunnid Not sure what this has to do with this comment. Also, you get like 2k views. No way you're making a living of that.
It's not only about quantity of sleep, but also the quality with proper mattresses, pillows, sheets, temperature, light/darkness, quietness, sleeping positions, etc.
Fo reals!!! 😳🥱😴
Shohei is the Definition of someone who eats, sleeps and breathes baseball all day everyday. Striving for greatness. Definitely a living breathing anime legend in the flesh. Hopefully he can continue proving all those doubters and haters wrong again in 2022 and beyond. Theres still people who think he doesn't deserve winning MVP, which is complete nonsense.
Those who don't believe Shohei deserves the 2021 AL MVP, are backing players that haven't been compared to Babe Ruth or have Shohei's long list of records and accomplishments, and CAN'T dual play at high levels or dual play at all.
Anybody who believes he didn't deserve to win MVP knows nothing about baseball and the rarity of what he did while performing AND bringing in a ton of viewers/merch sales worldwide.
hes the GOAT
@@MistaGrim Not only is he the most valuable player in terms of talent but also legit monetary value, he's brought in so many fans and sparked so much new interest in baseball when it needed it badly
@@sneersh9107 100000% true.
I have never watched single baseball play in my life but now I have reason to watch! He is amazing.
Here after his wife reveal. Its cute how he mentions at 0:58 that Slam Dunk is his favourite and he wants to try basketball which, is a game his wife plays. 😂
His earning millions but his phone is cracked. What a guy.
Lol hahaha
Shohei is a class act. One of the rare athletes of our time that are both one of the best in their profession and humble/ all around nice guy.
Amazingly the Angels have 2 humble GOATS
Like giannis
I think we're lucky to live in a generation that has a lot of guys like him relative to the past. People don't like to talk about today being better than their childhoods in any way but the sports superstars of the modern era are by and large good and humble role models.
@@philhalbig6148 But we still can't win. :( :(
Dude is a dream player for any coach and owner, a superstar that humble and stand up person. For a coach to have a superstar and also the hardest working player is a dream.
i think i’m in love with this guy 🫠
What a LEGEND! Doesn't even have to try and his whole existence is a FLEX...
Exactly!! He is like Tom Brady in Baseball! I mean the "FLEX but very down-to-earth" image
@@IWill4everBeSamurai the W human where their wholesomeness IS the flex.
Wow, this has gotta be the first EVER GQ essentials where every item is truly an essential
He’s literally an Angel. Amazing athlete to boot! ❤
wow he's so humble and professional. ohtani was literally born to be a baseball player!
All the things he showed is make him a better player and keep his condition up. What a guy!
Not an Angels fan but definitely a Ohtani Fan
Nicest guy ever .
not an angels fan but he is SOOOOO ADORABLE
Shohei is one of the best people ever lol and he reads slam dunk even better
I think Naruto is a close second.
@@ckhang one piece>
The man is a walking shounen protagonist
The guy is literally baseball manga protagonist.
W pfp
God I'm so in love with this man 😭 he's so endearing, and he loves baseball so much, i hope he goes on being 100% healthy and I hope he can achieve everything he wants in life 🙏🏼
He says Gor La'me, I say bor jo'rno.
He's thicc
Omg I felt you there! I am so in love too! I feel like there is nothing to dislike about him - outside and inside! Oh and I've been dreaming to hug him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@IWill4everBeSamurai 🤨
@@bearsreview5389 🤣🤣 same reaction as well 🤨
Single handedly got me to watch Baseball again.
You know why he is successful; he is a baseball scientist. He uses his physical ability, mental acumen and IQ and decision making to excel in baseball.
I usually don't buy magazines.
However, since it is a magazine that contains Ohtani, I buy a lot.
He is the face of the baseball world.
I’m dead. He’s cuuuuuuute.What a perfect human.
I jumped out of my chair when he mentioned Slam Dunk. I don’t know anything about baseball but this guy is already my favourite player.
Slam Dunk the favorite manga? Jesus christ I love this guy even more now
Nit even into baseball, but this is an example for all American sportsman and women. Dude is just a solid guy. I love it
Nit ? Clearly into baseball or else how would you know ? He ain't a philanthropist idiot.
This man is the embodiment of baseball. If MLB wanna do anything about saving the sport they better start pushing Ohtani more.
For real he's such a good player and after the season he had last year it's a must if they want to make baseball more popular. My family are Angels fans but I prefer watch other sports. Ohtani and Trout are the reasons I'm watching again. The only thing I can see is them not promoting him or making him the face of baseball is the fact he doesn't speak english or speak it well enough at the moment so I can see that negatively affecting his chances on the marketing aspect.
Agreed. They're pushing him a good amount now though.
They can do that by saving him and trout for the angles and put them on a team with owners that are not useless
Nah I don't think Ohtani wants that. He seems determined to play baseball and that alone
Being on the cover of The Show is a good start
He’s so handsome wow.
I usually hate these videos cause usually it’s just celebrities flexing there watch’s and chains but these are actually essentials and it shows how much he loves the game and it shows he works hard
just look at videos about japanese baseball, its almost military like with its training, hes toned down since coming to america, but hes still got that dedication
This guy is just the best. I love when he's saying that "overall", he thinks he's had a good season with the bat... Haha, 45 bombs and a 100 rbis as a pitcher... This guy... Yeah, overall, I think you could say that Shohei. You can now look your sempais in the eyes
Nmm
Ohtani is the reason why I start to watch baseball. By the way, he had 46 HR last year. :)
This comment just cracked me up! 😂
Humility at its finest. Love this dudes personality and character.
How can you hate this guy???
He is a truly amazing player. Also, we can feel that he is a really humble and honest person right away. 100% respect to him
"I like to sleep"
Finally, something we have in common.
This is probably the best 10 Things an Athlete Can't Live Without video out there. Shohei Ohtani is so humble and has a ton of essential items that help become a great athlete.
he doesn't try to portray him in a certain way. Rather, he just shows himself. Very humble guy
All i can say he is so cute. A huge teddy bear.❤️🥹😍
GQ really on a hot streak with Curry, Ohtani and Salah
For real
GQ had the best 24 hours of their lives lmao. And they might not be done yet 😂
yooo im thinking the same thing... like is it just youtube thats acting up lol
🔥🔥🔥
I audibly gasped when I saw this. Shohei doesnt do much media and this was a great surprise!
Wait until you see the promo pictures he took 💪🏼 😍
He hasn't even got on any Japanese TV programme since he came back here. Oh actually one on NHK, our government owned channel. But yeah us japanese people have surely missed him so much so this is just so awesome!
Man only cares about the actual essentials, not some fancy chains, $10k shoes, gold watches. Major respect for you ohtani you a real one.
Now that you will be playing for my Dad's favorite team(R.I.P.) The Dodgers I will be watching you more😊
Most people don’t understand how difficult it is to start games as a pitcher and also bat in the lineup. There’s a reason nobody else has done it or can do it since the babe
Babe Ruth only really did it for one season and he pitched in the deadball era too. Ohtani is hitting 45 hrs and pitching in a high offense environment. There's no comparison.
@@EldritchAugur Yep he is not the new Babe Ruth but the first Shohei Ohtani, and might be the last
@@Feanor026 THIS.
@@Feanor026 you’re right what he’s doing I’m not sure will ever happen again
@@Real_Han_Solo yes it will. Ohtani has opened the doors for other players to do the same. There are some up and coming players that can hit and pitch.
He seems real smart, well organized to talk to the topic and what he talks about. And what’s the last part, he’s too cute...😂🥺
To summarize, baseball is life.

He’s so calm and handsome
He's genuinely just such a nice guy
This is the single reason to learn Japanese. I may start reading/watching Slam Dunk
He’s easily my favorite current player.
I am an Angels fan but I am trying not to be biased, I also have family that is Japanese and lives in Japan. However, this guy has probably the best character in all of baseball, he is very humble and kind. He actually cares about others and isn't in it just for the money. He gives most of his tiny contract away to be honest. Angels will probably offer him 40 mil a year for 7 years and he deserves all of it. He is a legend not by his numbers but by his character and grace alone. I wish more baseball players were like him. He is my favorite player and I have so much respect for him, especially since he has so much respect for everyone around him.
I love how true to himself and dedicated to his craft Shohei is. And it just goes to show you don’t need to be a larger than life character to market the sport. He’s an incredible ambassador for the game, and it’s been such a pleasure to watch his domination on the baseball diamond.
Let's assume Ohanti stays healthy and does both well for years what will mlb do now that they have their own version of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Joe Montana to promote the game? Will it make baseball popular again? I hope so. MLB never had there Michael Jordan type figure in modern baseball before. It's going to be interesting.
Nah man I’m a yankee fan but this dude is hard to not be a fan of! A living legend.
-Ohtani is humble and dedicated to his craft. Amazing, once in a lifetime player. My favorite Angel
I love how humble he is
Ohtani is effortlessly so charming, this guy!!! Great to see more of him after his hiatus
For the next 100 years, when we think of a baseball player, ....we'll picture Shohei Ohtani.
Dodgers legend Shohei Ohtani ladies and gentlemen
You can really tell how much he cares about taking care of his body and how all of his essentials line up with his career. Very humble guy.
Great example for the young generation no unnecesary luxury things ( jewerly; fashion clothes, etc) everything he has is basic to keep him in top form . Humble .
0:02 he’s a giant baby. 🥹
He understands the value of recovery and the best workout is really sleep. It is easy to get distracted and lose focus but Shohei understands the long game.
Not 1 stupid big chain, not 1 ridiculously expensive watch or shoes just simple things that help him live a healthier life. Awesome!!!
Who cares? Weirdo
@@guzzjohnson4282 Apparently you do if you’re going out of way to comment on random strangers opinion.
@@PnoMonies can you explain to me why that is the focus of the video?
@@PnoMonies you got those?
He’s a very nice young man, so humble. Very likeable fella and he’s so great for MLB and getting new fans into the game. This guys just so nice and friendly
Definition of humility. He literally planned out his life/career when he was in high school and stuck to it. Will go down as one of the greatest ever
If he keeps this up for 3 or 4 more seasons...he is hands down the greatest ever...no one else comes close
I love this man an obscene amount
“i think, overall, we had a pretty good season” humble king
Considering they lost Trout mid season and he has no "protection" so to speak i think they did well. But they need more QUALITY pitchers
Ohtani is all pro. His dedication to his craft, and being humble about everything is the very benchmark we need for all athletes at every level. He’s not arrogant or brash like a lot of pro athletes. This is the guy you should show to kids on how to appreciate the skills and talent you have, but still be humble and a good person.
How is he so cute, I don’t even follow baseball and here I am watching clips of him playing and doing interviews. I think I am starting to like baseball now. 😅
Shohei Ohtani is such a cool dude, love his chill vibe 👏👏👏👏
Ichiro usually spoke in English, but he had an interpreter on the official scene. He avoided the lack of nuances and misunderstandings. It's a way to focus on baseball. Shohei Ohtani usually speaks English and sometimes speaks Spanish, but he hires an interpreter for the same reason as Ichiro. Besides, in Japan's NPB, various races such as Dominican, Hispanic, Cuban, Korean, Taiwanese, and American play baseball. Even if they can't speak English or Japanese, they won't be criticized. If they are good at baseball, they will be evaluated.
I mean i guess i appreciate the info but who asked? Why does it matter? Majority of the true elite talents in the mlb speak a different language. There are alot of sports you need to speak specific languages to even play. For instance, ohtani could have the same skills as jerry rice in his prime but wouldnt make a 1st year nfl franchise with a roster filled of undrafted free agents. Skills are no good in football if you cant communicate where and what your doing on every play. Hockey is similar, except language isnt as important. But then again id love to hear how many Japanese born nhl players there are. Basketball he could. Obviously saw yao ming. But again unless your a equipped with god like talent or size an nba team wont spend its resources on a guy that isnt a guranteed slam dunk. Short story long, baseball is awesome because its one of few sports that dont require a specific language. Literally could field a team of 11 guys. Each guy can speak a different language and play in unison like theyve played together for a decade. Ohtani doesnt need to speak English to be a star. He doesnt learn it for the fans. Or for his opponents. Or for more money. He attempts English for himself so he can communicate with his friends. Who happen to be his teammates. He doesnt need to do it. Because he forces any baseball fan to either like him, hate him or if not those, respect him
@@lawrencehackett6479 wow
Shohei Ohtani barley speaks English?
Well he’s Ohtani, no Ichiro.
@@lawrencehackett6479 I mean I guess I appreciate the information but who asked?
I am not a baseball fan, but I want to see Shohei Ohtani win like 5 rings...I love this kid.
idk about 5, maybe like 2
not gonna happen if he stays with the angels

@@bravozulu0380 *cough*

This man emits Japanese culture. The perfectionist and dedication to his craft to become a master is something the Japanese people have hard written in their DNA. He reminds me of a modern day Samurai with his bat being his katana and his glove being his bow.
Yeah, well said. I get the exact same impression and have always respected the Japanese for their commitment to perfecting their craft, whatever it may be.
@@snoozingtonzzzz3304 the reason why I love Japanese culture as an American, they embody everything our society lacks and it’s why they excel at most endeavors (I’m not a weeb tho, Anime is not for me)
