      I did but obviously it wasn't Ohtani lol. It was two guys who both started in the MLB. Alex White went #15 out of UNC and Lonnie Chisenhall went in the first round. Both were pitchers/infielders and GREAT HITTERS. Averaged 98+ with their fastball. Alex started for Indians and Rockies. Chisenhall played 3B for the guardians for a bunch of seasons. It's not easy hitting that kind of speed when they have great off speed and sliders. My best at bat was against a triple A pitcher from the Marlins I hit a bomb first bat of the season. Wood bat league where we were getting scouted just to find out coaches were embezzling lol. Anyways I would have loved to try to get a hit off Ohtani in high school..not now though since I'm 37 I know I wouldn't be able to keep up without practicing year round.

      For years I thought strictly of Bonds as a member of that SB/HR club(40/40). Now it’s 50/50 and it’s only Shohei. That’s pretty big time, EVEN THOUGH S.O. did it as a DH, which is HUGE but/if/yet/even though to give respect BACK to Bonds who was playing left(I believe) field for Pittsburgh.

    I imagine the key to throwing at this speed is to delay the whipping motion between the shoulder, elbow and wrist. So allow your hand and wrist to drag a split second behind the motion of your elbow and the elbow a split second behind the shoulder and then release at precisely the right moment. Like a catapult.

    honestly if he did one he would have a hall of fame career on any side but by doing both i know it takes away 10% of his overall power level but makes him a freak in baseball world that can do everything on the offence and pitching side at the same time lol and not some avg pitcher or hitter top2 top1 in both that is the most crazy part if he was a avg pitcher it would still be unreal but him having a mvp on both sides is the crazy part that 2022 mvp should have gone to him he was unreal on pitching while hitting 35/36 hr aaron judge got it cause he broke some al record but it wasn't even close shohei was soo good that year he was robbed

    And you see why he's had arm injuries at a young age

    It turns out that Shohei Ohtani was very handsome since he was a teenager

    Good god. Imagine you go to what you assume is just going to be another routine baseball game in high school, and all of a sudden you're contronted with essentially an MLB-level pitcher throwing 100mph just inches from your knees😬😬. No freaking thanks.
    And that doesn't even include crazy breaking balls that are heading straight towards your face, just to break sharply into the strike zone at the last second, with the ump yelling out "Strike!" before your body even hits the ground after collapsing to avoid getting hit.

    What a great kid pitcher, maybe he should try batting someday.

      This kid had 56HR totally in 3yrs of high sch. He's a great hitter with very good hitting sense and always has natural power since he was a little leaguer.
