Some people just don't realize how mind blowing Ohtani is. He is leading the MLB in Homers and is 3rd in strikeouts. That's two all stars in one person!
Don't forget his batting average is rising up to .309 right now. He never had been hitting that high in 2021-2022. His hitting is getting better and better. In 2021, his homerun pase dropped after AllStar game. But this year, he will probably maintain the homerun pase.
He's the only player that can literally win a game by himself by pitching a shutout and hitting a homerun to give his team a 1-0 victory. He can also come in as a relief pitcher to close the game - a la the World Baseball Classics. I pray he goes to a perennial playoff contender so we can see him at the biggest stage.
"I pray he goes to a perennial playoff contender so we can see him at the biggest stage" He will for what's estimated to be a $600-$750M/8-10 yr contract. It's more than likely going to be the Dodgers or Yankees.
Best player ever. Period. Full stop. No one has ever had all these tools and performed at this level. My wife and I were watching the game last night (we live in Orange County) and I told her after his first home run he was greatest ever, then he goes and strikes out 10 and hits another home run. Plus his speed! There’s a reason he’s called The Unicorn.
I'm still salty about last years MVP. And not because Judge won it, he was as deserving as Ohtani even if I thought Ohtani should have won it. What really pissed me off is that it was almost unanimous, 28-2 first place votes, which tells me that Yankees hype and thinly veiled american homerism really tipped the scaled. Had Ohtani been the american guy playing for the Yankees and Judge been the foreigner playing for some other team I don't think there would have been such a wide gap in voting.
As an Angels fan in Orange I feel so blessed having been able to watch him play in person as often as I have. I’ve seen Trout in his prime and now Ohtani… if we can just make the playoffs this year it’ll make me so happy
Also an Angels fan and I think it won’t matter. He’s probably leaving anyway, 1 playoff year won’t change that. I also think his contract will start with a 7.
@@Andrew034 I actually think he likes Anaheim but he wants to win. If they show him they can he will consider it. I don’t think it is a done deal he is leaving even though it is likely. Either way I’m grateful for the time he spent here and that I got to watch him
@@MelMont234 Unfortunately for you guys, Arte Moreno has no clue what he's doing. That's why more than likely, Ohtani will be a Dodger or Yankee next season.

I do not see that happening, too many arm trouble stories.

@@055zww... never heard of trout striking out 10 hitters & hitting 2 dangers @ the same game ..... maybe when he plays his xbox ..... 😂🤣😂🤣-🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 .....
It's funny how people like to use the word talented like he isn't the best already. He is the best. There are many "talented" players that can do everything but suck at everything in real life.
When Steph Curry started doing his thing, it felt imposssible. How could someone shoot that good so consistently, and from damn near half court? It just blew my mind. Now take that up 2 more levels - That is Ohtani.
We need to win for Ohtani this year. I think if we win the WS he’ll stay in Anaheim and maybe even take a small discount. I want to see Ohtani and Trout hugging it out after winning the WS this year. Beautiful, beautiful human beings that deserve all the success in the world. We have the GOATs for one final chance and we gotta deliver for them.
Starting at $550 million/8-10 years. Not less than that.i want him to get paid for all his talent and effort. They owe him big time. Hope his management and team makes sure he gets that!!!😊
My Deceased Pops and I used to watch BB all the time together (he coached my kiddie team). Ohtani hit his stride last year and conducts himself so well that he’s a great example, even when victimized by BS strike calls. Between his pitching & hitting, I’m glad I lived long enough to see him. I’m hoping that he is a good justification for future players.
I talk to people every day, (friends,family and co workers) and I am shocked at how few people have heard of Ohtani or have a clue what he is doing! It is absolutely amazing, and if he has the longevity we may be witnessing the best baseball player of all time!
Today, the praise for Ohtani comes from everyone, but when he moved to MLB, few people believed he could play two-way. Many of the critics who praise Ohtani made comments that made him look foolish. But Rich said, "he could be successful." I feel what Rich says is worth listening to more than others.
Its great being a sports fan right now. You got Shohei doing things ppl always thought was impossible, then you have Nikola Jokic doing things youd never thought of seeing in the NBA. Even Pat Mahomes breaking all sorts of records at such a young age. Truly great generational talents.
Objectively hitting 2 home runs and being a starting pitcher and striking out 10 is more impressive than a pitcher throwing a no hitter, or a hitter hitting 5 home runs or hitting the cycle.
This happened again. Last night Angels played a double header in Detroit against the Tigers, in game 1 he threw a shutout in 9 innings. They won. In game 2, he opened the game w/ a homerun and then hit a 2nd one to lead the way for the Angels. He’s unreal. Today is 7/28/2023.
There is only 1 known Unicorn in the world and he is playing MLB. Laughing and smiling like a little kid hitting HRs, striking people out and running the bases like a stallion with wings
I won't be surprised if Ohtani manages to hit for a cycle, hit 3 hrs, and have a perfect perfect game as a pitcher with 27 strikeouts in a single game someday down the road.
BTW, you forgot to mention that his 2nd HR that night vs CWS came AFTER he was removed from pitching with A BROKEN NAIL ¡ .. I was at the game to witness history. Drove 2 Hrs from Mexico.
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SHOHEI DAILY FOR 3 YEARS AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHO THE OTHER TOP 4 ARE LOL I BET THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DONT GAF ABOUT BASEBALL BUT WE FOLLOW SHOHEI RELIGIOUSLY!
@@arnettheathington1476 Bonds admitted to taking PEDs under oath. He claims... hahaha... his trainer gave them to him... hahaha... without his knowledge. Barry was totally 'roided up for the best years of his career. It's not up for debate.
I stopped watching MLB since 80s. Shohei brought me back. I still cannot believe what we are witnessing. Is this real? A Unicorn is laughing and having fun.
Nobody in America really knows who Shohei Ohtani is still. If you go down to any major city and show a picture, the average person would still not know. That's how criminal this really is. Imagine asking someone if they know who Jesus is and they didn't know. This is almost the same thing. Shameful just because he's Asian, most Americans cant' accept it. The deep rooted hate and racism is too ingrained in the American DNA.
Dude is hitting 1.28 OPS when he is pitching it is in Barry Bonds territory if he continues this trend can you even imagine when Ohtani pitches it shall be known as Barry bonds day 💀
A lot of people start playing basketball because of Michael Jordan. He set the standard of greatness. Shohei has set the standard. A lot of kids will start playing baseball because of him.
Should've been the mvp last year.. he better be the mvp this year. If the league were to reset and there was a draft to be held... Ohtani would be the first player drafted off of the board.
Rich, appreciate the apology to us die hard Halos fans. Still honored he chose the Angels over all of those other, “more storied teams” back in 2018, and hope that and the direction of the team and their results, and their offer to him going forward, all persuades him to stay with the Angels.
Most pitchers have sore arms and want to rest after 90+ pitches, Ohtani just casually hits 400+ feet homers into opposite field off the end of his bat.
@@kenviper505 I also watch mostly basketball. But this isn't normal for pitchers. Their arms get hurt even with full rest. Ohtani doesn't rest and keeps swinging the bat day in and day out. Think of it as basketball players not having a rest day between games. It's insane and unheard of. That's why no one else is doing this. Their bodies won't hold up.
Also leads Angels with 11 stolen bases. Tied for lead with 5 triples. Batting .309 just simply the best baseball player in the world. We call him the unicorn 🦄 out here in OC because there isn’t another.
Greatness is never NORMAL. Shohei is an anomaly. He is an advanced athlete and highly wired & skilled player. What he does simply comes natural to him while the rest have to work harder at it.
@@feynmanschwingere_mc2270he still is the goat🤣 ohtani isn’t that good of a hitter in terms of all time greats. His best season ever (this year) currently ranks 223 all time in terms of OPS. Bonds himself has 9 better hitting seasons than ohtani’s best 🤣 get a grip
There is no way anyone can convince me that Babe Ruth who played in an era of segregated baseball where the best Latin & Black players were excluded and where the hardest throwing pitchers topped out in the high 80s low 90s & having the benefit of a higher mound was a better all around player than Ohtani.
I would argue that Babe was a better power hitter, because he was born with a perfect swing. He used a gigantic bat and he hammered the baseball in an era where a home run was a HOME RUN, they've brought the fences in since then. In every other aspect? Babe can't touch him
OHTANI with a team Like the DODGERS or a consistent contending team will CEMENT his status as the BEST player bar none. The protection he gets in a line up and having an all around all star fielding team will absolutely skyrocket his results. A sit is he is the best. Its crazy when you watch him bat its like a lethal hitter then as a pitcher he is elite.
people said he would have to pick and tons of people said he couldn't hit major league pitching. and in 2023 he's been the best hitter in the entire league as an elite starter. I have no idea what planet he's from.
Midnight here in Europe and I m just patiently waiting for Tom grossi video. And once I learn baseball rules I am sure i will appreciate Japanese guy too.
I think we need to realize we are witnessing history like i did watching jordan, lebron, brady, tiger. Its must see tv. You know somehow they will be great. Cant wait for the first negative comment.
Aaron Fudge got thrown meatballs to get the 60+ dingers...the same person that keeps swinging and missing most of the time can hit that many dingers is suspicious at best...
Shohei ohtani is literally the reason i started watching baseball.
Me too Tilman. He is stupid good!
Same
Same here.

for real
Some people just don't realize how mind blowing Ohtani is. He is leading the MLB in Homers and is 3rd in strikeouts. That's two all stars in one person!
Didn't he start and leadoff in the Allstar game last season?
Also leading both leagues in RBI
Don't forget his batting average is rising up to .309 right now. He never had been hitting that high in 2021-2022. His hitting is getting better and better. In 2021, his homerun pase dropped after AllStar game. But this year, he will probably maintain the homerun pase.

6 no runners inning and 2 homers for a 4-2 win literally closest one I have seen as a solo carry
He had a war of 0.8 last night. Basically won 80%+ of the game by himself.
