😂No, Ohtani had his 11th HR today's game & is already leading MLB(both leagues) in HR ranking. Ohtani ranks 1st in MLB of OPS, HR, hitting avg, hits, 2B, total bases, Slugging, extra base hits, ISO(9 hitting categories)!
And we haven't even seen him pitch yet! I especially admire the way he conducts himself. He seems so modest and not the least bit arrogant. Love, love, love watching him play!
To think that Shohei still performs at the highest level with injury and is still better than most of "healthy" pro baseball players is just wow! He's the ultimate GOAT!
I dunno why, but it really cracks me up when the pitcher knows he's been blasted and doesn't even turn around or react to the home run 😂. Ohtani has so many of those
Entonces todos los deportes son fáciles por qué todos los deportes hay leyendas pero othani es el mejor atleta se va cristiano Ronaldo y líonel Messi othani puede hacer que mucha gente vea el béisbol después que se vaya Lionel Messi y cristiano Ronaldo
The rest of the world acknowledges that Shohei Ohtani is MLB. Like Michael Jordan is NBA. Maybe premature, who knows? But as a soccer fan since I was a kid, I started watching baseball because of Ohtani.
ESPN had him at #9 I think...and both had Judge at #1 with zero reasoning behind it except that he's the one who MLB WANTS to be the face of their game 🤦🏻♀️. Ohtani should have 3 MVPs, that's all I'm gonna say.
There is no "blind zone" in Ohtani's swing, literally becoming a pitcher killer. Now he stands at the top of Hits, Average, HR, Slugging, OPS and Total bases.
Why do Shohei Ohtani's batted balls fly so far despite his seemingly light swing? Ohtani's hitting form looks quite different from that of many other major leaguers who swing with the power of their upper arms. Ohtani's swing form is unique in that there is not much power in his upper arms or upper body. The three characteristics of Shohei Ohtani's swing are what we see. (1) Natural dynamic vision to see the movement of the ball, (2) A stable and smooth swing trajectory that does not shake his body axis due to his overwhelming strength of his torso, lower body, legs, and hips, (3) Instantly finds the best timing for hitting the ball and captures the timing with certainty. These three things are performed with a big body that has been trained through diet and training for his past 10 years. As a result, he can hit a moving ball as far with a steady and efficient swing as if it were a driver shot of a stationary golf ball. Shohei Ohtani's hitting style is characterized by his ability to instantly find the optimal sweet spot for a pitch coming into the hitting zone, and to ensure that he hits the ball just right. His swing appears stable, smooth, and unshakeable, with no effort until the follow-through, when he captures the best timing to ensure that he hits the ball at the right moment. Despite this, the ball flies a long way. This is because the power generated by the swing trajectory is efficiently concentrated on a single point on the ball without waste and converted into the ball's flying power. Shohei Ohtani is able to hit the ball this way, because, first, he has an unshakeable torso axis and strong legs and lower body, and second, he has good dynamic vision, which is the reason for his excellent pitch selection.（His good eye for the ball, which is the result of his natural dynamic vision.） He trains not only his upper body but also his lower body intensively, so that his legs and back, core, and axis are stable when he swings, and his body does not shake with the force of the swing. This is due to the strength of his well-trained legs and back muscles. If we compare Shohei Ohtani's swing with that of other sluggers, focusing on the relationship between the upper and lower body, we can see a significant difference during the swing. Many players swing with their upper bodies with great force and hit the ball, but when they follow through, their lower bodies, which are supported by an open stride, are defeated by the rotational force of the swing of the upper body, which has a longer trajectory than the stride, and in many cases, their feet flop or their lower bodies are jolted by the swing power. However, when looking at the follow-through of Shohei's swing after hitting a just-meet shot, the lower body hardly swings at all, and the body axis remains stable, smooth, and clean. Naturally, like other hitters, Otani's upper arm movement should be greater and stronger than that of his lower body, but the overwhelming muscular strength of his lower body, including the length of his legs, absorbs and supports the impact of the swing trajectory of his upper body. When we compare the upper and lower body movements, we see that his lower body strength overwhelmingly outweighs his upper body strength. This is what seems to mechanically affect the distance of the ball when Ohtani hits it. (Ohtani: lower body strength >= upper body swing, other hitters: upper body swing >= lower body) In his case, being a pitcher from a young age may have contributed to the strength of his torso and legs and back. To reduce the burden on their overworked arms and shoulders, pitchers intentionally focus on training to strengthen the lower body, including the legs and hips, which stabilize the trunk and axis. In his case, more than 10 years of training as a pitcher since his boyhood may have formed his overwhelming core stability and leg and hip strength, and may have had a positive effect on his hitting form. If so, this may be the result of his pursuit of becoming both a pitcher and hitter at the same time, a dual way that is very difficult to achieve. Another factor that may have contributed to his hitting is the way Japanese high school baseball education is conducted. Japanese high school baseball hitting instruction often adopts the "meet hitting (Just meet timing)" method. The bodies of Japanese high school students are often thin and without muscle strength, as they have not yet fully matured. In teaching these skinny and weak students to hit the ball, they often teach them to hit the ball at the best time, rather than hitting it with their upper arm strength. In other words, they teach them the "Just meet timing hitting" method, in which the ball is surely caught at the sweet spot and sent flying far away by its repulsive force. This approach is similar to the swing theory of hitting long shots in golf. In other words, this method has much in common with the theory of hitting the ball on the club's sweet spot and converting the acceleration of the club head into the force of the ball's flight with a stable swing trajectory that does not sway the axis. In Japanese youth baseball, a coach often uses this phrase when coaching skinny, ineffective players, "Don't swing hard for home runs. Aim for a single hit first, and think that a home run is an accidental extension of a single hit (when the conditions are right). The important thing is to hit the ball with a high probability of catching the center of the ball and making sure you hit it." Watch Shohei Ohtani's warm-up routine as he waits in the next batter's box. It shows what he thinks is important in hitting. He doesn't swing the bat blindly, but watches the timing of the opposing pitcher's pitch as it comes to the batter in front of him each time. He then tests the best timing for his own bat swing in accordance with the opposing pitcher's pitch. Shohei's hitting technique seems to focus on matching the bat precisely at the best time without hesitation to the various pitches thrown by the pitcher. That seems to be another secret of Shohei Ohtani's hitting. Accurately analyzing Shohei Ohtani's hitting technique is tantamount to finding a methodology to make the ball fly farther and more efficiently. The fallible analysis of many baseball commentators is to try to discover Shohei's strong and weak zones. Certainly Shohei has some hard-to-hit zones that he is not good at, inside and outside. However, that does not mean much to him. What is more important than the zone in Shohei's hitting is to match the best timing of his hits to the velocity of each pitch that comes his way. Because of his emphasis on this, he is able to time his hits to the best hitting point for each pitch, no matter which zone it comes from inside or outside. That is why Shohei can hit not only home runs, but also a lot of other types of hits, from singles to long balls, both to the right and to the left. His hitting style is not to aim for home runs. He aims for a single hit, and when all the timing is perfect, the ball he hits as an extension of the single hit happens to have the distance of a home run ball. In that sense, Shohei may be the player with the most potential to win the Triple Crown among today's major league players.
2:11 ... The best sound in the world
And the best pitcher reaction
Niouce.
I see Ohtani, I click 👍🏻
me too 😂
Yeah, pleasantly addicted.
So did I.
The same
Same here 😂😂
first season with the LA Dodgers and made history part of winning his first world series amazing season
The most talented player ever in the game
I was at the game when Shohei hit his first dodger home run, on of the best games I ever went to
That swing is explosive and the sound off the bat is unparalleled 😮
I want to see his BP.
His home runs have a beautiful form and a different sound.
Ohtani is classy.
This young man is extremely blessed with not only as a talented player but with humble sportsmanship.
What a great addition to the Dodger team
Yes bro
700 million
Dodgers is blessed and lucky to have Ohtani, 700 mil is a bargain.
Absolutely he has an entire county converted to Dodgers fans…
Ohtani 🐐 is tied in HRs and leads the majors in Hits, Doubles, Batting Average, Slugging and OPS, and he's also an Ace pitcher.
😂No, Ohtani had his 11th HR today's game & is already leading MLB(both leagues) in HR ranking. Ohtani ranks 1st in MLB of OPS, HR, hitting avg, hits, 2B, total bases, Slugging, extra base hits, ISO(9 hitting categories)!

The sound of the bat crack on his first HR as a dodgers is sweet music to my ears
He's having so much fun playing for a team that wins more often than loses. He hard work has something to show for.
Exactly
💯
I feel bad for Trout
Why
Otani's home runs make my boring days happy.
He hits homeruns, extrabase hits to rehab his pitching arm.
Just another compilation of Ohtani going through his rehab sessions
😂
Sounds ridiculous but actually true
Fr dude is insane 😳
3 HRs against the Braves.. that says something. And quickly caught up to Ozuna, that was fun to watch
MVP!
His swing is so majestic and powerful
Like a Seattle Legend , JUNIOR.
@@greeenbluebabys Was just about to say the same
2:13 the pitcher's reaction. Already knew it LOL.
Heard the crack, looked for 1 sec and then just "AUHH FACK"
Wat a special talent glad to have him here in L.A
The ball sounds so different off his bat. That sound is " DAMN "
Never gets old watching him play
I dunno why, but it really cracks me up when the pitcher knows he's been blasted and doesn't even turn around or react to the home run 😂. Ohtani has so many of those
I don't understand why I feel like this..
when I see him play baseball, baseball looks very easy...... : )

Ohtani is goat. No question and it’s not even close. He pitches good too.
Fact : Every hitter in MLB can't hit better than a rehabbing pitcher.
That's true👍
Aaron Judge and Gunner are pretty good too
Ohtani was #4 in MLB Network's Top 100 Players of 2024, but he is totally #1!
4位の意味がわからないね😅
ESPN had him at #9 I think...and both had Judge at #1 with zero reasoning behind it except that he's the one who MLB WANTS to be the face of their game 🤦🏻♀️. Ohtani should have 3 MVPs, that's all I'm gonna say.
@@dontknowdocareespn had shohei at 9 bcuz he is a gaijin
It isn't even close. He should be #1 with a colossal gap between him and the next player. Bias in media is ruining the world, sports included.

That's what she said !
He is a MVP of MVPs
Doesn't matter what pitch, fast or slow, up or down, Shohei is banging that ball out... great eye rn
As a casual baseball fan..I just learned today that he’s actually a pretty big boy
i love you ohtani
This guy will likely going to make Dodgers win the World Series again.
Nobody can stop him.
I think this video will need an update soon.
And 2024 is his rehab season after surgery.
He is the man.
This $700 million man is a real bargain for its quality
まだ5月初めでホームラン集できるのスゲェや

Sounded like a gunshot
That one, and the one he hit in Washington are straight rockets.

It’s crazy that the sounds of the ball left the bat
It’s on another level of batting
His home runs hit different. Literally
It's like nobody else had existed since this guy showed up. You don't ever shut up about him

GOAT🐐
Shohei, thank you for putting a big smile on my face!
He's a rehab pitcher.😅👍
Best player to ever play the game
$700 m seems cheap.
He's on track to be the greatest baseball player of all time.
Super Shohei! | スーパー大谷！🔥
飛ばすねぇ……逆方向に当てるだけのヒットもあるし 無敵だね
OHTANI WILL GO DOWN AS A LEGEND OF THE GAME!!
I know the dodgers fans are starting to love this but I saw this every game his Angels career. This is only half of his game 😂
The final analysis will show that Shohei Ohtani's 10-year, $700 million contract was the best bargain contract in the history of baseball.
Now He hit again , 11
Whoever got those home run balls is rich right now
He's got a BEAUTIFUL Swing!
WeBleedDodgerBlue!
Show time by Otani!
Thanks ohtani.
SHO TIME😍
He must love being on a winning team!
