5:22 Those are actually the numbers he got struck out (He is lowering down his strikeout % as a hitter). You need to scroll down and get the numbers from the pitching stats. Shohei has 156, 219, and 167 strikeouts during 2021-2023. 😉

Impressive Video bro

americans are still eurocentric - to europe - asia is to their east - since it's shorter than going west - however for americans - particularly west coast americans - japan is shortest going west - - what's more going "further east - across the pacific ocean" (0:43) doesn't make logical sense - that means going WEST - not EAST - even if you travel from europe

This guy lost me at going east over the pacific

He’s great and if you don’t see that now? You don’t know baseball. We’ll see if he gets a hundred percent. I really like him and his wife. Both athletes ⚾️🏀

Shotime Shohei is my favorite baseball player.

Ohtani IS The 21century Babe Ruth!👍⚾

".....we have to go East. No, not California......."????? Huh? Great video, just had to ask...

He should be banned for gambling makes me dick trevor bauer is innocent and hes banned sicking

I heard the Dogers might make him choose because they dont want him getting him hurt. Ohtani might not be getting to pitch anymore cause of how well he is batting

Ohtani is faster. But the Babe would have beat him in a hot dog eating contest 🌭

4:45 I looked at his stats knowing he won 18 games one year. Well he won more than 20 games twice and his career era was 2.28. It was a different era but even with there being a lot fewer home runs he only gave up 10 in 1,221 innings. So, yes, he was an outstanding pitcher.

It's pointless to explain how Ohtani isn't the hitter Ruth was since you've already pointed out that Ruth wasn't really pitching when he hit all those dingers. If Ruth was pitching full time, he would have hit a lot less homers. Being two-way eats up your energy. It's a pointless comparison.

Every player these days would hit homers back and forth if Ruth was to pitch to them.

Love the vids you need more subs

Easy for Ruth to stat pad when you hit against plumbers, electricians, other tradesmen whi played part-time.

Othani's elbow will probably prevent him from being a two-way player his whole career. He's already had 2 Tommy John's, and his bat is too valuable to put him on the mound too often.

There was no Tommy John surgery for Ruth. If Ohtani pitched back then he’d not have a single complete season in MLB. Sorry.

And pitchers throw 100mph now

😂So after you made this VTR, you still don't know how good he is. Ohtani was leading most hitting stat including OPS, HR, 2B, hitting avg, Slugging, hits, total base hits before he a pick-off throw was purposely hit his hamstring and an injury lasts for almost 10 days. Even the injury affected his batting form & batting avg, Ohtani still leads NL league OPS, hit, and batting avg. Ohtani's batting power is almost recovered and later he would be more productive like before his injury. Ohtani has proved to Dodgers fans and MLB and the world that he worths every single penny of the 700m contract even his pitching hasn't started till 2025 as scheduled. Besides, you truly knew NOTHING about Ohtani's crazy economic powers and true marketing influences to his teams and the LA city and related businesses from millions of Japanese people and Ohtani fans in the world. Since April '24 there were 11 Japanese or Japan related coop signed several yrs sponsor contracts with Dodgers, all new sponsors were attracted by Ohtani. And more contracts are still coming in almost every week so far. With those JP ad contracts in stadium alone, Dodgers would probably earned 1 billion in 2 yrs. Besides Ohtani's good/jerseys(best sold in MLB), ticket sales, raise in ticket, price, and crazy sales of new foods in Dodgers stadium, even many opponent stadiums are also packed with Dodgers & Ohtani fans (though most incomes are distributed between 30 teams but the Dodgers sponsor contracts would only benefit Dodgers alone). Even during Korean series, the economy of close by shops and the town near the stadium was all boosted in Korea because most audience wanted to see Ohtani who was the biggest star in the series, not the Korean stars. A famous JP professor projected Ohtani's economic influence in the 1st yr of his joining Dodgers is around 600 million (by Ohtani alone, not along with any other Dodgers teammates). 😊

Until he win a ring, everybody needs to shut up about comparisons.

Babe Ruth was a "two way player" but did not pitch anywhere near the level ohtani has. Comparing ruth to ohtani shouldn't be a thing.

No one “let this slide”. Read the ~37 page report by the FEDS which completely absolved Shohei Ohtani, in addition Shohei Ohtani voluntarily offered all his electronic devices phone computers, iPads etc. LET IT GO son you got nothing 😂😂😂

Goatani.

He has a long way to go a lot can happen in 10 years..time will tell if LA R geniusis..or not?😂

He should be suspended for the season. Why has everyone let this slide? They never arrested his interpreter for theft. It was a lie!

if mbappe accept to go to SPL hes gonna surpass that $700m deal in 1 fricking year

One thing everyone forgets is about Ohtani's world class speed vs. Ruth's snail like running ability. Ohtani is just a few stolen bases away from beating Ruth's stolen base total that took him 22 years to amass in just 5+ years.

First ❤

How good is Ohtani Actually? He's darn Good Enough to be The Single Best Baseball Player on the Planet!!!!!!!!

He's only collecting 3% of that $700,000,000 for ten years to allow the Dodgers to get high caliber players. Ohtani just upped it again. What a world class person. It's no wonder Japanese society are so civilized.

or you could just go West across the pacific

Eyyy they use Major as their reference for Koshien ❤. Shohei Ohtani is the real life Goro Shigeno after all.

I obviously love ohtani he was one of my baseball player crushes and I’m really happy for him that he’s having a great season with the la dodgers and I’m very excited to see him pitch in 2025

That is Vietnam you are showing on the map at 0:45 not Japan. So sad that someone does not even know where in the world Japan is located.

He’s so good that he’s a pitcher but he’s the best hitter in the league

이정후 선수의 3천배가 오타니 쇼헤이 선수입니다.

"Across the Pacific Ocean." ...But...but that'd be going west.

Babe Ruth wants to be Shohei when he grows up.

From Anaheim or LA you could definitely go west to get to Japan. Just so we are clear that is faster.

How good is he? Right now he's arguably a top 5 player in all MLB..........and he's not even pitching this year.

"We've got to go East" then says California lol. Is mans living in Hawaii.

Goatani

Steroids are AWESOME!!

Taking my grandsons to see this Once in a lifetime player go against another phenom elly de la cruz on memorial day weekend... Cant wait

2020 was a pandemic year

Does he play in Japan?

Koshien is nothing like March Madness. Summer Koshien is the largest sporting event in Japan. It's like a religious gathering. The Hanshin Tigers, the professional team that plays at Koshien stadium, are forced to leave and play elsewhere for the high school tournament. There's nothing like it anywhere in the world. Also, his name is Roki Sasaki, not Rory.

OHTANI is the GOAT😘
