Another unwritten rule of baseball is that you’re not supposed to hypnotize the batter with leg pumps or slow down the passage of time by lifting your leg and holding it.
David Cone, one of the Yankees’ color commentators and former MLB pitcher, absolutely LOVES Nestor Cortes precisely because he mixes things up. Cone has said several times that he would use similar tactics when he was playing and appreciates the strategy still being used.

My cuz says when they're on the road, Shohei doesn't go out clubbing or even out to eat. He just orders room service...or take-out...and just stays in and plays video games with other teammate.s..and they just have a blast in their hotel rooms.

Wanna like him even more? At the time I am writing this, he is 5-1 with a 1.50 ERA and only Cole has more innings pitched so far this year. (It's still early though)
@@jlruiz7634 I approve of the ump in this case. I think he knew ohtani would never ever do that, and is an honest class act. He deserves to be pitched to right. Don't succumb to using gimmicks or dirty tricks on ohtani. It's just not right. Give it all you've got, pitch your best to him, right, true, and fair. Simple as that. If the pitcher showed respect and ohtani smashed him, respect. Fair play. Ohtani knows what respect is all about. Resorting to timing gimmicks is semi pro at best, disrespectful at worst. Way to go ump, the right call for sure.
Since we’re explaining Ohtani to the casuals, might want to mention that he’s also a pretty damn good pitcher. I think that’s also why he was so amused with Cortes here.
Casual here. Clueless about baseball. RUclips’s algorithm recommended this video to me. Amusing video to begin with, in a good way. What you are saying helps me appreciate this further. Game recognize game. Thank you for sharing! 😁
U can’t play both of those positions I think u r thinking babe Ruth but he is long retired (unfortunately passed away). I bet the reason u r miss taken is becuz babe to played for the Yankees (pin stripe uniform in the vid) but there wood not be vid of babe Ruth he played long ago in the days before vid existed. They since banned the to positions after babe set the world record in both as it was unfair
That was legitimately funny. Loved how Ohtani played along with the fun. Baseball players seem to have the best sense of humor among all pro sports for some reason. Good to see.
Just met Nestor about an hour ago here in Miami. Super humble dude ! Took pics with me and my friends. And yes he’s seen this video he just gave a huge smile and laughed so I’m assuming he’s a fan of this video

Is Jomboy slowly converting you to a baseball enthusiast sdyoungii? These are the types of moments that people, who think the game is slow and boring, don't understand. Sure not every pitcher is as entertaining as Nestor Cortes. But it's always a must see event when a great hitter like Ohtani steps to the plate. No drama is like baseball drama.
My favorite thing about Ohtani is that when I was in Japan the only sport related anything I saw was banners on street lights about the Angels and Ohtani was on all of them lol. They love that guy over there.
The ump may have done the pitcher a favor.. imagine if he got to throw that pitch after all the gyrations and the guy hit a HR.. that would’ve been back to the minors for the rest of the season
