Shohei Ohtani Is What Baseball Needs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2022
- Shohei Ohtani is a baseball savant doing what has never been seen in Major League Baseball history. The Los Angeles Angels all-star pitcher from Japan hit 46 home runs and recorded 156 strikeouts in 2021.
The last player to both pitch and hit at an elite level was Babe Ruth, a century ago. But the Bambino stopped pitching relatively early in his career to concentrate on hitting. And no one ever called Ruth fast. Ohtani, the unanimous American League MVP, stole 26 bases last year.
“There is pressure,” Ohtani says of the season ahead, “but I’m more excited.”

the most humbliest flex ever : there is no one i can compare to
Thank you Japan. Promise the Dodgers will treat him like royalty!
At age of latter 60s, I consider myself luckiest witnessing both Beatles and Shohei real time.
👍
And the first man to walk on the moon.
So jealous!!!
@@tokyodude2715 omgosh he was so cute yesterday! His run is freaking adorable...
Thank god you didn't say nickleback
He already earned money and fame but that didn’t change him. He has zero ego and remain being humble person who loves playing baseball.
He is a one in a million.
Great example for the younger new talents
He is one of the few players playing for baseball, not for money.
I think the reason other players are not as good as him is because he enjoys baseball purely and has a strong desire to improve baseball.
I agree with you. I can tell he really enjoy his game by watching his face, movements and expression in the filed.
He just eats, breathes, and sleeps baseball. He's an amazing baseball player, a great teammate, and a very humble guy. Good-looking, too! It's impossible not to like Shohei Ohtani.
We are so lucky to be witnessing Shohei Ohtani be a pioneer for two-way players. Wishing him the absolute best in health and all his Herculean efforts. Such a humble, kind, hardworking, and handsome human being
Yes. He is handsome
I do speak english.And i'm japanese native.When american baseball player come to japan, they don't or they can't speak japanese..i meant even if they stay for long.We don't care because they are here to play.I don't understand why americans upset and attacking this amazing player in a horrible way.There are also many americans and english native speaker here.They don't speak japanese but force us to speak in english.Ironic.Just have some respect to this nice and amazing player.
The greatest of all time.
Shohei Ohtani is like a male supermodel...seriously!!!
Yes. Very handsome man
If you don't like this guy.
Either you're jealous or just a hater.
He is the only reason why I watch MLB.
A rare baseball player to bring smile on people's faces.
Baseball is so lucky to have this guy. I talked to some kids at a baseball tournament last year and every single one wants to be like Ohtani. He makes Baseball great again.
Shohei Ohtani Is What TIME Needs.
TIME should change its name to "SHO TIME" from now on.
He’s incredible 🙏🏽
Nahhhh you a sports fan too??? Chill. You touching all the communities
Definitely. You can't find a better ambassador. Talent,humility, hardworking and kind!!
You want a quickie?
Agree. Good role model
And HAWWWTT!
@@solidus_snake_ , ikr. Handsome man
I'm not even into Baseball as a Brit at all, but youtube recomended it and I wanted to watch it as I'm interested in sports in general. Don't hate me. Seems like a cool guy
You really should watch what Shohei is doing.😊 This is history being made here!❤️
I'll never understand the people who are upset the man has not learned native-level English yet. This guy has dedicated his life to the near-impossible task of paving new ground in an ancient sport. The guy is an MVP caliber bat an a Cy-Young contender. He *enteratins* (the point of watching sports). What the hell else do you want from him?
Ohtani can understand and speak English reasonably but he feels comfortable to speak Japanese for official interview without misunderstanding.
I assume people were upset maybe because he shows expression that he wants to master English (it was on his goal lists he wrote in high school) but he hasn't done it so in like 5 years
Or maybe people are mad because the face of one of the major 4 leagues in US cant speak English at all
Anyway what I say is I dont get it either many players had a legendary career without fluent English (Vlad Guererro, Ichiro, Matsui, etc.) They are there to play baseball they can choose if they wanna learn English or not
Americans are English-only supremacists.
Who's upset
Americans baseball player don't speak japanese here.We japanese don't judge..a lots of americans are shark..Shohei has love, so much passion, patience to play baseball.That's why he can be the best baseball player.Can't wait he leaves from engels.He always say he wanna wins.He deserves more.He probably move to mets or yankees.
Dammit why's this guy so lovable? Keep writing your legend, Shohei!
As a life-long Angel fan (I'm 62 years old), we have arguably the two best players in baseball in Mike Trout and Shohei, and the Angels still suck. Life is unfair.
PREACH. : ( Right there with ya just a few less years...
I need to see these 2 guys win a World Series. I’ve been an Angels fan since I discovered the movie Angels in the Outfield when I was 12 years old (while my parents just got divorced and I was living with my grandparents).
@@ozborn6381 Oh man yessss! I want that so bad. If Trout and Ohtani never get to the WS it'll be a dagger to my heart. Even the great Tony Gwynn played in the World Series; sadly never won but at least he got there twice. I can't live in a baseball world where these two GIANTS of the sport never make it to the Fall Classic. Perish the thought!
It didn't happen overnight for Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen, but time will tell if Ohtani and Trout can accomplish the same feat.
They are doing good this year.
Shohei is really amazing, on and off the field.
I thought Ichiro would stay the best from Japan for rest of my life. But someone greater has come out already. And Shohei's inspiration was Ichiro. Shohei is the living legend.
he plays great, handle himself great off the field, looks handsome, very humble, shows great respect for the game.
nice guy.
Exactly. Handsome man.
Shohei Ohtani brought my attention back to baseball. Stay healthy and make a splash this season!
No matter what, i will love Shohei Ohtani forever!!! He's the best player ever and i will continue to support him
There's no doubt he'll be in the hall of fame, and his name will go down in history. ❤
Wow, I hope my future children are as humble as ohtani. This guy is out of this world.
I’m lucky to have this man on my fantasy baseball team.
does your league count both batter and pitcher ohtani as 1 roster spot?
@@jamesz9635 mine doesn't, I have to switch him every time
Had him in 2020. He was hurt and did nothing. Then he takes off last year on someone else's team. That team won.
My league has shoei as a batter and a pitcher
Unfortunately I gotta make do with him as a pitcher
Humbled and handsome ohtani🥰
“I’m not good looking ”
Wtf is he talking about ??? He’s absolutely handsome!!!!!!!! I hope he knows that too.
Alot of japanese have inferioty complex.
@@Ok-oo2kh No it is Japanese culture - humble
@@Ok-oo2kh It’s called humility
EXCUSE ME? 'IM NOT AS GOOD LOOKING AS HIM'???????
i genuinely spend 40 minutes on 4 minute videos of shohei ohtani because i forget to read the caps when im looking at him ...
we love you sho, stay healthy & have an amazing season this year
You rather have him say he's a whole lot better looking than the Babe?
Well its just humility. Asian trained to act like that eventho they might no think the same.
And like above said, u def dont wanna him said he is better looking than babe eventho its the truth. Bad for his image.
He's a miracle.
I will learn Nihongo for you Shohei. 💗💗 You're the best. 😍
Not only baseball, but his humanity is wonderful. Ohtani is the pride of Japan🇯🇵🔥
I do not doubt it! I totally understand why. To us in USA, he is the pride of America too because he is a symbol of the best baseball has to offer and a great human being. We are so lucky to have him live & play here. America LOVES Shohei Ohtani!! Even though he wasn't born one of us, we fans feel that he is one of us now too! haha : ) We appreciate Japan letting us have him for a while! Thank you, Japan! ❤
@@sakitoby1581 😌
@@JudaBuddha 😊
His humility is a refreshing breath of air compared to the modern day divas we have in pro sports
What can I say, he makes me feel so proud to be a Japanese-American. Last time I felt this inspired was with Nomo. I really hope he gets a shot at the WS.
Shohei, there is a reason you don’t really have someone else to compare your numbers with. That’s because you’re the only one doing it at the Majors. You made the impossible seems possible. Yet, it’s a daunting task. But I trust you have inspired kids of future generation be play like you. To break boundaries and play with love like you. Stay healthy always.. I’m lucky to witness your play
i fucking love this guy. he’s so humble it kinda pissed me off. he’s like “i’m not really impressed with myself because there aren’t that many two way players so i don’t have many others to compare myself to” bro you are a two-way player performing at the top BOTH WAYS. you don’t need a huge sample size of two-way players to be able to see that
He's so handsome. Big handsome man ❤❤
I got back to baseball after watching Ohtani's documentary on TV in my hotel room in Dallas, TX. Since then I have watched clips after clips of Ohtani and his Angels teams. Really enjoy it.
それはアメリカのテレビ局が作製したものですか?
RUclipsかインターネット上のどこかで視聴できますか?
I live in Japan and he’s on the news daily. They track the Angels and Ohtani’s performance every game. By far the most popular athlete.
Ohtani deserves all the success! He always has clear goals and a plan to achieve them, ever since he was a primary student. I saw a japanese tv show about him since childhood to pro player, when he was a little kid he set out his main goal (if i remember right it's being MLB player), drew a 3x3 grid and wrote it in the middle square, then on the surrounding 8 squares he set out how he could achieve the main goal and these are the 1st set of subgoals. Then for each subgoal he drew another 3x3 square and repeat the planning process. How amazing! as a primary student to do this. So clear about what he wants, plan on it and works hard to achieve it.
日本の誇り🇯🇵
Shohei, the only player to whom I can compare you is the legendary Babe Ruth. The important thing is to stay healthy and continue to strive to be the best you can be. You, sir, have turned the baseball world upside down. You have captivated many with your unprecedented abilities both on the mound and at the plate. 👏👏👏
He’s doing things Babe Ruth has never done. It’s not even a fair comparison anymore.
Ohtani is a true unicorn but people want to hang onto relics. It’s time to let go of the past and stop putting Ruth and Ohtani in the same sentence. It’s like talking about Michael Jordan as the (name some NBA champion from the 50s) - no one does that.
Ngl, teared up a bit. I’m so glad he’s playing in MLB, such a treat to watch him perform. So excited for when he hits free agency. Ohtani doesn’t want to waste his career like Trout. There is no doubt he’ll receive one of the largest contracts in MLB history but it’s more than the money for Ohtani, he wants to win.
This aged well.

Shohei is not only a superb baseball player but also a good example of a terrific human being!!
He’s already become a player to be remembered.
顔かわいいのに何でこんなにカッコいいんだろうなぁ。スーツ似合いすぎ
I have been watching this all day long…
Everyone is praising Shohei for being the only one able to do what he is doing, and yet he completely turns it around into the idea that if he’s the only one doing it, he can’t feel good about it.
He can’t be proud of the heights he’s ascended unless someone gets up there with him. What an unbelievably sage-like mentality.
Real supper star -Shohei Ohtani♥♥
MVP! MVP! MVP!
スーツ似合いすぎだろ…
He is the proud of mankind.
Superstar with huge relevance in media and pop culture. Could be Jordan, Woods, Brady status at the end.
Such an adorable, humble guy.
I only started watching baseball again because of his exciting and dominant performance
For the love of God this man needs to win a world series
The haters will say there’s no better a chance with L.A. than he had with Anaheim. But I don’t know… I just believe it’s going to happen.
He will win the World Series within the next 5 Years and He’ll be added in “Hall of fame” too.
Ōtani is intelligent and humble man.
Major League Baseball's top baseball player.
A long career, please.
Into our old I would like to see zones.
I love Ōtani ♡♡♡
i respect him even more, i got into baseball at the perfect time
"I'm not as good looking as him." Come on, Shohei. You look so dang handsome!
Love this guy. Amazing, humble athlete.
Love him as a player and person; very happy he is an Angel.
Shohei Ohtani not the hero we deserve but the one we need right now
"I'm not as good-looking as him" - Shohei on Babe Ruth. "No, Shohei, you are at least AS good-looking as him if not more." And also even more accomplished at this point. The looks don't even matter. It's the talent, attitude and overall incredibly good human being that he is. I venture to guess even the Babe would agree - the game evolves, the Babe was amazing for his time but Shohei almost makes you think he's the best-programmed baseball cyborg ever.
In my eyes, Shohei is a lot better looking than Babe Ruth.
Babe ruth looks like a toad. As? Hes being humble. Jesus woman, wake up
babe ruth ain't even good looking
I love everything about him💕 handsome and smart.
羨慕日本人有這麼可愛的選手
I'm not your mother or anything but am so proud of you as Japanese.
I love you to the moon and back, Shohei! Stay healthy and awesome! Hope you have a long and successful career!
Beautiful.
this is so beautiful and i love this interview 💙
IDK who did the wardrobe for TIME, but they kinda messed up here. Shohei isn't proportioned like a typical person, or even a typical athlete for that matter. He's got the chest of a wide receiver, the slimness of a basketball player, the power of a boxer, and the legs of a sprinter. He would look REALLY good in a well-tailored suit.
It is his suit.. in a different interview he said it's the most expensive thing he has ever bought
This guy is awesome.
That's great because there is no comparison. I am happy to be a living witness of Shohei!
He's got the arm, the strength to hit a 90mph ball, & age. He came to mlb at a right time for him to shine, especially with great highlights when he was in his native country of Japan. I had only wished that he had joined the Dodgers but Angels are great as well. For baseball fans, Ohtani is a reincarnation of Babe Ruth, a rare player indeed.
日本人に生まれてよかった!! 同じ日本人🇯🇵の 大谷翔平選手を 心の底から 応援できる🤍
He said he is not impressed with what he did so far. Imagine if he does become impressed with himself, it would be otherworldly. You can tell that Shohei is super humble. He did what he did on the field without the luxury of communicating, effectively. That is so impressive in and of itself!
I 🤔 thinks, according to Shohei's personality, The only moment when Shohei would be truly impressed or satisfied what he had done in his baseball career is likely after he would declare to retire from playing baseball professionals several decades later. In fact, Shohei told a reporter at interview that he couldn't feel his limits and there were so many more improvements and growing Shohei feels inside himself and Shohei can get betterment throughout his baseball career as soon as he keeps himself in good health!
@@slleung8979 I can't wait to see what his greatness will become.
@@TopWorldTalentHD Certainly we will witness Shohei is going to increase or invent more new pitches like what he suddenly induced the Two-seam sinker (Shohei increased the speed from 90+ to 100/101 inside the box last game after he watched the Yankees closer throwing a 100 sinker that was outside the box). In addition, Shohei would definitely try to improve his batting ability which he is not so satisfied this year due to the new non-flying official baseball especially Shohei wishes he can hit better during his pitching day.
@@slleung8979 I totally agree with your detailed assessment, thank you!
If I'm Ohtani I would be more than impressed what I did when women throw themselves at me without charging?!! That's impressive!
It is interesting that Ohtani says “ I’m not as good looking as Babe Ruth.”
The goodness of face depends on the taste of each person, but it is obvious that Ohtani has a more athlete body shape than him.
More videos of Shohei please 🙏
As humble as a good player!
The ambassador of baseball. Baseball is only exciting because of him
Few men have the prudence and composure of this level at 27, apart from professional capability.
Love shohei❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep the prejudice and hate aside & just appreciate this rare opportunity to enjoy talent we’ve never seen before!
I love him so much 🥺🥰 he's such an admirable guy on and off the field. he's an absolute master of his craft and I love seeing him in his element. praying for continued happiness, health, and success ohtani-senshu ❤️ sending love from Guam 🇬🇺
ほんと一生懸命な姿、真面目なところかっこいいな
MVP show time
Not a massive baseball fan, but have always enjoyed it and loved the culture, and wow is Ohtani exciting. If I was more into baseball I would worship this man lol
The best role model in 2020.
Role
Perhaps he’s referring to Shohei’s bread commercials in Japan.
@@DylanASD Thanks
He has very Japanese spirit!
only 75k views? Goes to show he's still underrated.

Shohei makes baseball cool 😎. Shohei, you're better looking than Babe Ruth!
This dude is a legend. His MVP season salary is only 3 million LOL
You won world series already WBC 2023
Protect ohtani at all cost! He can overwork himself easily.
The most perfect man♥
