i come from a land where there is no baseball. utube somehow recommended rookie of the year video in 2018. Ever since then a Ohtani fan. also became a huge baseball fan.
@@adriel.510 well I cannot watch live matches I just go through the mlb highlights in RUclips... Its still early for me to pick teams. For now I'm rooting for Angels for Trout and Ohtani 😄
His twin brother is a very good Pitcher too. Bet their parents are proud. Both sons making the MLB and playing at an All star level. Move over Payton Manning and Eli Manning. The Ohtani brothers arrived.
And how about his base-running? He doesn’t slow down until the baseball ends up in the stands. He also drag bunts to get on base when the defence puts the shift on him. What a great role model for the sport! Amazing to watch
On average he hits a home run every 3 games and pitches amazingly striking out 5 batters at least every 5 days like WHAT oh did I mention he throws 100 mph after tommy John he can hit homers 450 feet 119 mph he’s not the Japanese babe Ruth he’s thee Japanese shohei Ohtani he’s his own level if anything babe Ruth is the American shohei Ohtani
@@前田陽一朗 lol....kitty does follow like a dog....the same day I got the kitten, that night, we were deciding on a name...shohei comes and I said to my wife, if hits a homerun, we're naming him shohei....well, that was the start of six dingers - his best week yet...
Love watching him swing the bat. Shohei hits BOMBS, and he can hit them to all fields. Even if he wasn't a good pitcher he could still be an all-star at DH, but you throw in the fact he's rocking a 2.70 ERA and 1.16 WHIP? Outrageous. He could be the biggest star in baseball if he keeps this up.
Leads the league in homers, bats .280, throws 101 mph, great fielding pitcher/outfielder and runs 29 ft/s. Never flipped a bat or showboated in his career. An honorable five-tool, two-way player. The most watchable ball player in the game right now.
Blasting homers, throws 100mph(throws nasty splitters too), and he can steal bases. What he is doing is unheard of and we should be thankful to be able to see him play live.

I remember hearing about him and though w.e. but now he is one of my favorite athletes to watch. Very entertaining. Hope he continues this is obviously years of hard work and dedication starting to pay off. Take notes, youngsters.
Most starting pitchers do bullpen sessions and watch film in their off days. They aren't vying for the home run crown. It's why what he is doing was considered near impossible.
When pitchers get homers, it’s usually a pulled baseball barely going 330 feet. But this man hits it like he’s he’s bonds. I’ve never seen anything like this.
@@user-gc1wj8tt2p Luka isn't a great defender though. The better comparison is LeBron James. Freakishly athletic, high IQ, and historically dominant on both sides of the ball.
Ohtani is already a top 10 baseball player of all time from a pure skill standpoint. Not overall stats or achievements. Hes up there with the best ever
For someone that grew up watching Griffey Jr and his sinfully smooth swing, it’s a pleasure to watch Ohtani. The ball has more pop off his bat than Griffey tho 😎
We are witnessing History in the making, I mean when was the last time we saw a player that has a nasty splitter, throw 100 mph? Lol the guy hit for Power and not mention that is one of the fastest player in MLB right now, he can do it All on a elite level all the things I mention before
Fun fact : He is a pitcher.
When he is a pitcher : he is a hitter
He’s a HOME RUN hitter
He is both
he’s not really pitcher but more-so he pitches
That throws above 97mph too
Shoutout to all the Japanese fans who comment in English to talk with us in America about baseball and for sharing Ohtani with us. Love Japan

So this is the video of a pitcher hitting 23 homers

He hits homers so often that this 2 week old video is missing 10 more.

That sound is like music
I kept replaying that one. That crack was like the shot heard round the world
When a pitcher has a 15-min home runs highlight in only 67 games.
Thank you Japan for creating and raising a legend, and allowing us to experience this man .
