Shohei Ohtani PITCHING-ONLY Highlights! (Is he a Cy Young favorite??)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2021
- Shohei Ohtani has come on STRONG on the bump lately. For the 2021 season, he is 8-1 with a 2.79 ERA and 120 strikeouts. Which begs the question: is he the AL Cy Young favorite? (Oh and he can hit too!)

I honestly don't care if there are better choices for cy young. Just give this man every award this year
lol
😂
seriously..give it
Her surely deserved the cy young, especially since he's playing full time as a hitter!!!!
Lol. Funny but I agree. Ohtani deserves every award. Showtime Shohei!
I would like to introduce this wonderful pitcher to those who are new to it. This pitcher is a home run king.
I don't even know what I'm saying.
Next year, he'll be the slugger who is an ERA king.
The babe ruth award
@@mmphillips04ify No , Shohei is better than Babe Ruth. Babe only had less than 2 seasons doing both pitching and hitting jobs but he could only finished about one-third of games Shohei did and Babe stroke out far than less than 100 while Shohei stroke out 156 this season. When Babe became great home run hitters, he only pitched 2 games one year and 3 games the next year and no more pitching later in Yankees. Even Babe couldn't pitch and hit well at the same time. He had good results only when he chose to pitch at one period of time and hit in other years. Babe couldn't manage to do both for long( he did for a very short season) and couldn't do 2-ways well together either.
@@slleung8979 Ruth actually only did it for 1 1/2 years. And he wasn’t great at both when he did it.
Otani says he is in the process of rehabilitating Tommy John's surgery. That means the current pitching is not 100% of him. We can see the true Ohtani next year.
A sub 2 ERA might be possible for Ohtani
@@jogmesson Anything is possible for Ohtani.
Looking forward for more innings and complete games next year!
Omg wow! Lol
I’m really optimistic that he can be an even better pitcher next year; his amazing accomplishments so for have made us forget that this year will actually be his first complete year as a pitcher since he came to mlb, and he still actually has not had that much experience.
The Hank Aaron Award is awarded to the best hitters in each league.
The Cy Young Award is awarded to the best pitchers in each league.
The Shohei Ohtani Award is awarded to the best two way players in each league.
Or just give Ohtani both the HA and CY award, same effect. Its never been done before, since the award was introduced in 1999, no pitcher has ever won the Hank Aaron Award. Of course if Ohtani were to win it, its debatable if he wins it as a DH or Pitcher.
The Angels announcers screaming broken Japanese after Ohtani strikes someone out is hilarious 😂😂😂
That was actually Jack Morris.
@@user-tl4xg5cj6j お前何言ってんの？
@@user-tl4xg5cj6j oh man please stop doing that, shame on you
I liked when they sometime speak Japanese. Awesome
Sanshin! Sanshin! 😂
This guy is living the dream. Every kid dreams of being a major league pitcher and major league hitter. And to be good at both? Cherry on top. This guy is amazing
I hope Ohtani and stay healthy and play at this high of a level. Also it would be crazy if Trout was healthy at the same time!
Hopefully next year
And rendon
Still wont make the playoffs XD
@@ericlego321 With how bad the Angels bullpen is I honestly wouldn't even be surprised
Imagine this ohtani in 2019 season ..
I stop watching baseball since my Expo's moved out of Montreal and Shoei Ohtani make me love baseball again!!! Give this man every awards RFN!
Ichiro said "Someday, Ohtani will be the best player in the world. He has to be. He will be a HR king in a season and wins cy young in a very next season. He will be like that."
So, Shohei wins cy young next year.
This miracle season which we are watching right now is just beginning.
Go! Ohtani! I'm rooting for you from Japan.
(Sorry for my poor English)
Don’t be sorry. Being proficient in a language is about not worrying of your mistakes while actually trying to learn from it. You’re actually better than me.
Hey, can I ask you something? What do the caster calls 'Dokokani Itte' and 'suwatte kudasai' (or something like that. I'm bad at Japanese so this is probably wrong) mean? I keep hearing them say it and I got curious of what it meant
@@singularity6065
Dokokani itte = get out of here
Suwatte kudasai = go sit down
Your English was fine.
And with 40 games left (6-7 starts), he still has an outside chance to win the Cy Young this year.
@@ryuyanaka271 Oh ok. So I got the hearing part right lol. Thanks
My favorite is the commentator's funny Japanese language class.
I thought it was hilarious!!! So the commentor did his job very well.
“Ha wo migaite” part was hilarious 😂
I liked when he speak in Japanese. Awesome!
Like watching anime
their accents are very strange tho...😂
Imagine Ohtani winning CY young award, Silver slugger and MVP FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE...BRRRRRUUUUHHHH
thats nut
Still needs a Golden Glove...
Well he’s a shoe in for the silver slugger. Who else could even compete?
@@OlJackBurton Yes !! In pitcher location, Shohei never loses any coming ball. He deserves a Golden Glove !!
@@user-gp8tp1di4h Vlad Jr
He’s insane
Remember when people were saying he was an overrated pitcher after his start against the Yankees. Take out that start and his ERA is like 2.17
Yeah I remember when he got drafted and when he played his first spring training, everybody thought he was gonna be a bust
John Libka didn't like Othani getting all the accolades because he is Asian. It will not happen under his watch, gtfo of here, he said to Mr. Othani in the Bronx that night
@Miller Time college? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@toyotires4300 he never been drafted by MLB, what r u talking about?
@@carlnilssonyoung8961 didnt mean to say drafted, I meant to say signed.
I cannot stress how insane his arsenal is. The fact that he worked on 2 different slider paths outside of his fastballs and splitters and the rarely used changeup and curveball is just sick. MLB aces can be dominant when they master 2 or 3 pitches. This is on a whole other level.
LOL give him time. Just back from TJ and slowly progressing ..the fact that it's even brought up is insane already. Dude is transcending to the heavens at this rate!
MVP, CY Young, Gold Glove, & Silver Slugger!!! Give him all the awards.
Kurt Suzuki and Max Stassi got a front row seat to Ohtani pitching greatness.
They deserve a lot of credit too for a good game plan and calling the pitches and also being able to catch the tricky splitters that can easily drop to the dirt
I’m not a angles fan but I love him
that's acute
I'm a life long Dodgers fan but I'm watching more Angeles baseball than my Dodgers because of Ohtani. I love him.
Angles are the best tbh
@@onjimana true but let’s see them vs the padres
That last pitch was NAAAASSSSTYYYYYYYY
*Wow. Although it isn't impossible, he COULD win all of these awards:*
*★MVP Award*
*★Cy Young Award*
*★Gold Glove Award*
*★Silver Slugger Award*
*★Roberto Clemente Award*
*★Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award*
What’s insane to me is that he said he’s still not 100% & is still recovering like WHAT SIR
He throws so many breaking pitches and then I always forget he has a 98mph fastball… 🤯. This guy is insane
I appreciate the Ohtani content. The more the better. More please.
Dude in unbelievable. So fun to watch.
ただただカッコイイねぇ
Can we FINALLY have an Ippei compilation of his best moments?
Omg yes hahaha
Can we have one of him running? SB and base running.
I love his base running. He is not as fast as those speedstars like Billy Hamilton (still faster than most players). But his long strides and the hastle make it so enjoyable to watch.
MLB, listen to this comment!! Shohei even runs beautifully.
Yes!! Shohei also performed good SB and running this season!!
Ohtani's pitching is like artwork.
He said “I'm still in the middle of rehab” and hope will be better next year….I felt fear hearing that…
Many Japanese were bewildered when they first heard American commentators say "brush your teeth" and "sit down" in Japanese, like "WHO brush their teeth and WHY??" (Japanese commentators never say things like that.) And many went to the Internet to google the reason of those broken Japanese and learn a bit of American baseball culture. Thanks to Shohei, American-Japanese cultural exchanges are happening in a fun way.
you mean, give Cy Young a Shohei Ohtani award. He deserve it
MLB should have some Babe Ruth Award in order to pave the way for young two-way athletes in the future. This would surely be an opportunity for baseball to evolve its game and become one of the must-watch sports.
There should be some Shohei Award.
@@user-ri4ov2wj4z If he can keep it up for a decade. there shall be some Shoehei Awards.
Twenty years from now, I want to see Shohei Ohtani coaching a team with nine two-way players.
They all pitch one inning at a time...
It should be called "Shohei Ohtani Award"!
@@MrBestard Yes, then should be it, but only this year his achievement may deserve it...imo
I've been hoping for a video like this for a while now!
Ohtani is worthy of Cy Young.
They need to take into account the fact that he's not just a pitcher so he doesn't have as many innings as the other pitchers but that doesn't mean he's worse than them. Ohtani proved that he is a good pitcher and deserves to be in the discussion for the award.
Shohei deserves the MVP and Cy Young.
I agree with you 100%, would you say DeGrom should win the NL CY Young Award for this season?
Ohtani pitches every 4-5 games just like every other pitcher. The reason he doesn’t have as many innings is because he’s not as good as the main favorites. He’s a good pitcher but you’re just sucking him off at this point. MVP? yes but Cy Young? no
@@TheWarrior17_9 The problem with deGrom is his injury.
As far as I understand he won't be playing anymore this year. If he continued the season, even for only 5/6 innings, he could win...But as he's out I doubt he'll be considered.
@@nickisans7182 facts
@@nickisans7182 yeah I agree with this. Makes you wonder what if he played 7+ innings. Will his stats get better or worse
4:30 makes me laugh every single time
He's an awesome guy just because he is the way he is. And he's a phenomenon. It's just great to watch him.
Ohtani said at a press conference last week that he was something like "still feeling rehabilitated."
There is no baseball games in my place, you can't even buy a ball. But learnt the rules and tune in each day just to watch this guy play. He is an amazing athelete. Don't know what people in US think but for me he is the face of baseball.
Agree. Ohtani is the face of baseball.
Fully agree. Baseball illiterate people are tuning to his games in different time zones across the world, especially his 2-way games.
This guy will be in the hall of fame
Shohei Ohtani = GOAT
This Dude! Amazing!
He is not the favorite but he is definitely in the conversation. He is, and should be, the favorite for MVP as he is having a phenomenal hitting and pitching stats at the same time.
He has more games to add to his resume at end of season. His competition has to be on point and not slip either. He has been dominant on the mound and looks stronger lately. He has almost erase the effects of that disastrous inning in NY. Let's see his numbers compared to other contenders in another month
Ohtani is an ace and he deserves the Cy Young. Lance Lynn the frontrunner isn't much better than him.
I don't think there are any other player that opposing announcers sound just as delighted as Angels anouncers when calling games with Ohtani.
We are witnessing the most impressive performance by a player probably ever; and I am thankful hes on my team and I wish we had an owner that would surround him and trout with talent they need to make it to the playoffs.
0:53
magic slider
His splitter is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Looks exactly like a 92 mph fastball right down the middle until like 2 feet in front of the plate where it falls to the floor. Makes professional hitters look silly when they miss it by half a foot as they swing at a ball in the dirt.
The pitch at 1:53 is 98 mph fastball that moves 10 inches away from the right handed batter and the pitch at 9:50 is 98 mph fastball that moves 10 inches away from the left handed batter. That is insane.
@@vinrusso821 If he stays healthy and pitches 200+ innings next year, 20 Wins sub 3.00 ERA is not difficult, providing Angels don't blow leads.
His splitter is really unhittable. But he hasn't been throwing as much lately. I'm not sure why.
And he has 2 different sliders, curveball, and he can make his 4-seam travel like a 2-seam. Having played baseball it's unbelievable how a human can manage all that different ball paths and have them all work against the batter in the best possible way. When you look from the camera behind the catcher they all look like fastballs until at least 2/3 of the path to the plate.
@@benlex5672 And he can hit 40 home runs in a year. Sickkkkkkkk

I enjoy listening to the Japanese that the play-by-play man sometimes says at Angels games🥰
I don’t understand what he say, but I like hearing it. It sounds cool.
MLB should set Ohtani award!
HIS pitching is getting better..so crazy..
Has to be one of the best if not the best versatile player. I remember calling a few jersey stores they were like "who? No joke
Tight race for MVP between Shohei and Ohtani
Whether he wins it or not, the fact that we are even having this conversation at all. Amazing. MVP
Agree
Lets go Sho
Actually could eatn CY YOUNG and league MVP. Great talent!
Clean ! Smooth ! No cheat on pitching ! Fun to watch ! My GOAT
0:52 is clean
also maldonado's face after that curveball lmao 3:04
I'm already looking forward to his pitching next season.
I love his pitching, even more than hitting.
I dont think anyone else deserves more than Ohtani..he is seriously above everyone else..
filthy stuff shohei
He's the MVP for his demeanor alone!
No baseball player had this high phenomenal hitting and pitching stats at the same time.
「三振！」「どこか逃げて」
所々挟んでくる日本語にニヤニヤ😆
ありがとう🙏💕
He pitched 8 innings against Detroit. I think before the end of the season he can pitch a full game, and some day hopefully he'll get a no-no. 🤞🏻
I remember making a comment about Angels should only play Detroit the first time they played. That first meeting launched an unbelievable two weeks stretch where he was almost hitting a homerun a day and got him into the All Stars. Then the second meeting with this unbelievably pitching win plus a league leading 40th HR might just win him mvp and cy young awards.
MVP? No doubt.
Player of the Century?
YES.
I like that. Showtime Shohei!
Ohtani is a really special player. This guy is rare! Imma just enjoy and feel blessed to watch him play. Witness his greatness.
no He is unique!
The commentators speaking Japanese is killing me 😂
His pitching has some thining more than numbers. 🔥
When I see Shohei Ohtani playing baseball like a cartoon, it's great and fun.
His pitches are nasty! The way the hitters' faces look says everything!
Cy Young, MVP, and throw in the silver slugger as well give him all the hardware!
It could very well happen if he continues doing what he's doing.
What about Golden Glove?
@@OlJackBurton pitchers can get that? Lol as long as I've watched baseball I honestly don't know that.
@@MrDevinCates Greg Maddux holds the record with 18 Golden Gloves, despite never fielding more than 40 games in a season. However, if Shohei actually played a defensive position when he wasn't pitching, instead of just DH, he could win 2 Golden Glove awards in one season at 2 different positions...
@@OlJackBurton dang that would be awesome
the drop on that @6:40 splitter... ooofff!
that splitter is insane 🤯🤯🤯
*The prodigious, unparalleled, Brobdingnagian ascendancy and adroitness of Ohtani's coruscating celerity impelling rondures reveals an intrepid, quiescent, inextirpable virtuoso of salient, unparagoned, numinous eminence unseen since quondam eras* !
⭐😎⭐
Take out that start he had in the Bronx at Yankees Stadium when it was 100 degrees. They had him leadoff the top of the inning then he couldnt settle in to pitch the bottom half. He gave up 7 runs on 2 hits with 5 walks or so. He only gave up 4 runs but then the bullpen guy came in & gave up a bases clearing double so all the runs got charged to him. WITHOUT THAT START HIS ERA WOULD BE RIDICULOUSLY LOWER.
Yes and don’t forget that other game when the umpires called two horrible balk calls to let two more runners score (2 more ER)
I hope showtime Shohei win the cy young award. Go Ohtani!!
He's awesome 👌 and he deserves it
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼😇🧧💖 🥳
Hopefully Ohtani will get Homerun King 💪, RBI King 🏅 , MVP🤩 , and Cy Young Award ⚾️🏆
Best thing about him is..he's a very humble guy and not a drama queen..He doesn't talk big or talk down on anyone. Best thing to happen to baseball ⚾️ right now..
This is why people like him so much. Just a down to earth wonderful person with so much talent!
Shohei won't win Cy Young this year but as a consolation prize he'll get MVP. You know how ridiculous that sounds? 😄
Ohtani, so much love, respect for the game! Audience better recognize....
The showtime MVP 💯
Ohtani deserves cy young, mvp, and silver slugger tbh
MVP MVP MVP!
those broken Japanese comments sound exactly like every anime character trying to rap. always made my day
VOTTO & OHTANI r beasting it up........I'm a RED 4 life; but, damn OHTANI is beyond belief!!!
He has proved that he can do both this season, so I hope he will concentrate on the pitcher and reach the level of winning the Cy Young Award.
he can do both!
Just the sight of it makes me happy
He should automatically all the honors the man is magnificent batter and pitcher very rare to see a player with that excellence
Awesome
before this season even Japanese heavy suppoters didn't expect pitcher and hitter both level so good at the same time. like, this is for pitcher for getting cy award, and next year focusing hitter and aiming to more than 50 HR. but you see, he is making those at once at this level!! aaaaaa!!!!!!
MVP for sure.
He is 🐐
Even my grandmother said Shohei ohtani would be MVP
ばあちゃんいいな
俺のばあちゃん死んだから。
元気だったのに突然倒れてしんだから。
マジで定期的に会っといた方が良いですよ。今元気でも急に倒れることあるからね。
わしの家の庭で見つかった土偶にも象形文字でオータニMVPと彫ってあったな
And your lovemy grandmother is right!!
It's like a god of baseball
That splitter is hella nasty!!
Can you imagine if the Angels got into the playoffs and the excitement to see Ohtani dominating in key elimination games. The global sports world will erupt!
If they can get their bull pen right they should make the playoffs next season. I think their batting line up is good enough once Trout comes back
The slugger can really pitch what a player !!
The commentator's said sanshin in the strike out is literally the funniest in this game. It makes me want to watch NPB again😂
Atleast Shohei has made the commentators learn Japanese 😂😂
Super cool they’re trying to learn and help someone feel welcome
