I can't disagree with you. I got bored of baseball around '05 and fell off. Seeing Otani in the WBC where he struck out trout to win it was my first glimpse of him. Then I went down a rabbit hole on his game and he single handedly got me interested again
Everyone talks about Ohtani's swing, but Matt Vasgersian's commentary is something else "First pitch swinging… …Oh hoh, and FIRST PITCH CRUSHING!!!" love it 😂😂😂😂
I remember watching that Shohei game live (there was nothing else on TV that day and I’m a Braves fan) before he became a huge star. I watched him pitch earlier in the game, then I remember yelling in excitement when he hit that HR. It was his 2nd of the season and he would hit way more that same season. Just the sound of his hit was like a gunshot. Before I clicked this video I KNEW this clip had to be in here.
I’m saying this was his 2nd HR of the season. Nobody would have thought he would hit 46 HR that season. I had never heard of him before his home runs started flowing in. That’s what I meant by before he was a star.
The crack of the bat is asmr for baseball fans around the world, it's sounds like a mix of fireworks and lighting together, especially the amount of power these baseball players swing with is mind blowing, when the bat and baseball connect together it's like a pop of sparks.
Man, seeing all of those clips with empty stands is so depressing. I'm glad we were able to get live sports during that time, but I hope we never have to go back to those days.
Galarraga was a beast. I grew up loving the Rockies and tried (and failed) to swing like him. Never got to see him in person, but 97 v Kevin Brown was a moon shot.
Obviously, the Ohtani homer is insane, but they also mic the Sunday night games up to amplify the bat sound. I think Sean Murphy’s might be the best, overall… I would’ve loved to hear that baby with the Sunday night mics. Shit sounded frighteningly powerful 🥵
TWO Unforgettable 450+ ft, Back to Back Game 6 World Series BLASTS, same ballpark for both the 2021 & 2022 MLB World Series. As one left the park (‘21) & this seasons was to Dead Center. Each iconic hit sealed the fate of the team which would not be hoisting the WS Trophy 🏆 once the last out was recorded in game 6. 🍻🇺🇸🤘🏼🇺🇸🍻
ESPN's coverage of all sports usually sucks. But the one thing they do better than any other network is the crack of the bat "perfect perfect" sound. It's hypnotic.
Tim Anderson's full pop-off after he hits the home run is awesome... pumps his fists and looks at his dugout like "YES LFG!!" Of course people whined about the "unwritten rules of baseball being broken" about that aka pitchers being all butthurt.
Anyone want merch??? First 5 people to order will get a surprise in their order💪

I’m going to buy a shirt today
@@jrodburner let’s goooo
I would but I don't have money
You should make a navy blue shirt with your channel logo on it. Hate to be rude but the grey shirt in the link is kinda plain. Just a suggestion.
@@joshuawoodard1902 love the idea. Definitely will do that
1:00 the sound of that hit literally made me a baseball fan again after 20+ years
I can't disagree with you. I got bored of baseball around '05 and fell off. Seeing Otani in the WBC where he struck out trout to win it was my first glimpse of him. Then I went down a rabbit hole on his game and he single handedly got me interested again
@@BlandBandithappy that you’re back into it! Cheers to the 2024 season
Hearing that swing made me stand up , mouth hanging
*neuron activation*
😯Breathtaking😯
The monotone "I don't think we are gonna see that baseball again" as soon as it left the bat almost made me spit my drink out
Shit killed me 😭😭😭😭
2:31 😂😂
make the difficult (yet necessary) decision to wrap up your stay here on earth
@@john9391dude shut up
Everyone talks about Ohtani's swing, but Matt Vasgersian's commentary is something else
"First pitch swinging…
…Oh hoh, and FIRST PITCH CRUSHING!!!"
love it 😂😂😂😂
Yeah! The commentary is really on point!
Vasgersian is top notch commentator
Genuinely, baseball has my favorite commentators. I watch Baseball, basketball, football, but baseball has absolute top tier commentating.
1:00
2:33 I don’t think we’re ever gonna see that baseball again 😂😂😂 I’m crying
this was the best call in the whole video by far
I miss miggy
The Ohtani one at 1:00 is so unreal I want to accuse you of juicing it up. What a swing.
When you get the barrel of the bat at 97mph fastball … 😂😂😂😂
He is something special
I remember watching that Shohei game live (there was nothing else on TV that day and I’m a Braves fan) before he became a huge star. I watched him pitch earlier in the game, then I remember yelling in excitement when he hit that HR. It was his 2nd of the season and he would hit way more that same season. Just the sound of his hit was like a gunshot. Before I clicked this video I KNEW this clip had to be in here.
Ohtani is a special guy
If he stays on the pace he’s on now, he’ll be in the Hall of Fame for sure.
@@joshuawoodard1902 definitely
Shohei has always been a star
I’m saying this was his 2nd HR of the season. Nobody would have thought he would hit 46 HR that season.
I had never heard of him before his home runs started flowing in. That’s what I meant by before he was a star.
3 sounds every American loves to hear:
1.M1 garand ping
2. Opening a cold can
3. And this 1:01
The empty stadiums of the 2020 season really being the crack out damn
Cody's bomb in new York is one of my favorites sounds like a gunshot
That was a shot
If you like that then listen to Shohei Ohtani against the White Sox
Fits pretty well for new york lmao. “Gunshot”
@@bigdjohnny1646 shut up you buggin
@@bigdjohnny1646 lol u got a point
That ohtani swing 🔥
So beautiful
Dale culo
Ohtani’s hit just hits different.
Every time too
When i saw the title of the video I knew that one had to be in it
2:35 the nonchalant “I don’t ever think we’re gonna see that baseball again” was unreal 😂😂
That Ohtani jack was one of the most beautiful things of ever seen and heard 🥲 from all angles
p
That hit on 1:13 he put every amount of physical & kinetic energy into that swing. Crazy
The brewers announcers call on that altuve bomb on the first pitch of the game was great
'yikes what a start' 🤣🤣
2:33 “I don’t think we’re ever gonna see that baseball again.” 😆😆😆 #classic
It’s gonna take ah drink😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ohtani’s HR was literal dynamite. No other way to describe it than “sexy” 🤤
That shohei one was the best
The crack of the bat is asmr for baseball fans around the world, it's sounds like a mix of fireworks and lighting together, especially the amount of power these baseball players swing with is mind blowing, when the bat and baseball connect together it's like a pop of sparks.
That's such a good descri5
1:00 goat
2:09 is STILL the best bat crack i’ve ever heard, not even a competition
Nah … Ohtani is still number 1.
The sound is so full …
Cody Bellinger.
2:10 is always my favorite
*very calmly*
“I don’t think we’re ever gonna see that baseball again.”
That Shohei blast actually made me burst out laughing it was so loud.
2:33 I dont think were ever gonna see that baseball again
Cody Bellinger hit that first ball so hard it made MY back hurt
Man, seeing all of those clips with empty stands is so depressing. I'm glad we were able to get live sports during that time, but I hope we never have to go back to those days.
“SANTA MARIA!!!!!” Always kills me😂😂😂😂
That Shohei One 😳
Give me your number
i want ohtani’s to be the sound when i receive a notification 🔥
0:34 thats what Jose Ramirez fist sounded like when it landed on his chin and dropped his ass hahahaha
Ohtani's hits sound like bombs every time. Was fun to watch. Great video
ESPN's on field mics are awesome
The one good thing about the COVID years was how loud the hits sounded
Especially at Minute Maid Park.
1:00
The loudest crack I’ve ever personally heard was will Clark at Atlanta in 1987- second was the big cat in 1998 at Atlanta
Galarraga was a beast. I grew up loving the Rockies and tried (and failed) to swing like him. Never got to see him in person, but 97 v Kevin Brown was a moon shot.
That one by Shohei Ohtani was absolutely drilled!
1:00 perfect
Stanton’s home run against Glasgow in San Diego is one of the loudest I’ve ever heard.
Obviously, the Ohtani homer is insane, but they also mic the Sunday night games up to amplify the bat sound. I think Sean Murphy’s might be the best, overall… I would’ve loved to hear that baby with the Sunday night mics. Shit sounded frighteningly powerful 🥵
And first pitch crushing is such a fantastic call! Matt v is the best in the business
Baseball bat bro videos brought me here, addicted to that "POP" 🤤
3:58 ENERGY TRANSFER. Exactly.
That Shohei swing sound should be in mlb the show
ESPN soundbite is just different
Great Vid!! No Bellinger off of Martin in the 2020 NLCS? That crack was insane!!!!
Cracks off the bat in the MLB are as sweet as a Matt Vasgersian call
1:15 the fake audience noise is super out of place and creepy sounding
0:45 just wow. I am not a Yankees fan but that is incredible
Didn’t ESPN put additional microphones near home plate which is why the Matt Vasgersian calls all have the loudest most clear crack sound?
1:02 bro got a perfect perfect😭😭😭
I was there for the Ohtani hit at 1:00
Multiple people around me audibly, “Holy shit!”
Most bat cracks are super loud but ESPN is notorious for juicing the mice to make them way louder than they’re supposed to be
Gotta throw in the Stanton HR against the Red Sox in 2021. "STANTON HAS HOMERED AGAIN!! SANTA MARIAAAAA!!!! 😂
Ohtani beginning his march to the MVP that year. So nice
My favorite was definitely shohei's against the white Sox
when the crack is loud because barely anyone is at the game:
"I don't think we're gonna see that baseball again".
Dude sounded like that was an actual inconvenience and personal attack against him.
Ohtani OMG THE HARDEST HIT OF BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!🤯🤯
The COVID games are something else, with no crowd noise not only can you hear the crack properly but you can hear it echo all over the park
Can't believe Stanton isn't on here. He's hit so many that sounded like thunder.
Sean Murphy s sounded so perfect
Man that Shohei launch is something else.
Why are the bat cracks so satisfying?
espn is so good for these kinds of videos
1:25 absolutely bombs it out of the park
0:59 😫💯🤩✨

1:01 is all you need here. Play it on loop.
The Ohtani one had the loudest crack
Ohtani tho 🔥🔥🔥
The most beautiful sound 😍
Such a satisfying sound
0:49 Immediate echo. Amazing.
The sound that used to come off McGwire’s bat was crazy…
1:01 was so loud
You want a loud hit, look up Eric Davis’s HR in Tiger Stadium with the Reds, and this was after battling cancer. Dude was a monster.
That Othani swing & crack of that bat ....call little league, college, the minors ...call everyone so they can witness greatness 🔥
Great video. Can you make one of lefties hitting tanks
I gotchu
ive watched that Ohtani one easily 20 times
Nobody's swing better than Griffey Jr
that shohei one was the best,that pitcher ate it
The Covid era empty stadium ones are gonna be tough to replicate
It was only the fourth inning yet Tim Anderson threw the bat as if he just hit a walk-off Homer😂
My Dad always spoke about the sound of “The crack of the Bat” and how sweet the sound
Idk what mics ESPN uses but they result in some LOUD bat cracks.
I watched this video to fall asleep
I love how Matty V is on so many of these
2:33 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everytime I see Baez highlights it just reminds me that he could get back into his cubs mentality, he could still be good
That Manny Ramirez training 😂
1:01 😩👌
DAMN SHOHEI WE GET IT YOU’RE GOOD THAT BASEBALL HAD A FAMILY!
The best I ever heard in person was Big Mac back in Oakland.
ESPN's coverage of all sports usually sucks. But the one thing they do better than any other network is the crack of the bat "perfect perfect" sound. It's hypnotic.
ESPN bat cracks are the best
For real
Opening game of I want to say 2004, Black Sox player hit a homerun you could hear in the parking lot.
Tim Anderson's full pop-off after he hits the home run is awesome... pumps his fists and looks at his dugout like "YES LFG!!" Of course people whined about the "unwritten rules of baseball being broken" about that aka pitchers being all butthurt.
3:53 it looks like this pitch was thrown to a buddy, where no one knows this guy is your buddy.
My roommate and I were sitting at the All You Can Eat Porch in the same where he hit that ball, just wrong game lol
