The coolest thing about ohtani is not just that he makes great plays and breaks records but he somehow always does it in the most iconic ways possible. From the wbc vs trout, to making 40/40 with a walk off grand slam, to breaking 50/50 with one of the dominant baseball games ever played. This guy is literally the protagonist of baseball
To witness Ohtani play is to watch a manga character leap off the page, defying the confines of ink and paper, and come to life in vibrant, explosive brilliance, each game a living issue, a collector's edition, with Ohtani as the protagonist in an anthology of greatness.
He plays best when the lights are the brightest and he is constantly improving. This is why Ohtani is lucky to have a lot of haters because these haters only make him better.
@@ZagirusMay I just say that you are a TINY bit obsessed with Ohtani? Even though I would like to have an actual argument with you on how Shohei Ohtani isn’t all butterflies and rainbows, your only argument would probably be that he is a 3x MVP and is the MLB’s only true two way player since Babe Ruth. So before you make an entire paragraph of what I would to say, irrelevant to the conversation and then close out your paragraph by calling me an Angels fan. Just remember Shohei Ohtani doesn’t know you exist and will never know you exist. Kudos, friend.
I'm a Brit who hasn't watched or cared about baseball for 30 years. This guy had me absolutely captivated for months, and then I realised that he only bats as a side gig...
I never enjoyed watching any sports until Otani came. Everyone was talking about him and now I know why. He’s so fun to watch because he makes many memorable plays at the right moments. It’s simply amazing!
WBC, 40/40, 50/50, World Series, & NL MVP is just an amazing yr of stats for ohtani that baseball players dream of achieving just 1 of those stats but he does it all within a yrs time. Just unbelievable, def the GOAT now for people who had doubts
- First MVP: as a hitter with excellent pitching - Second MVP: as a pitcher with excellent hitting - Third MVP: as DH with excellent base-stealing Baseball itself!
*Ohtani's most impressive Records with the Dodgers:* - Set the franchise record for most home runs in a single season with 54 home runs - Achieved a 9.2 Offensive bWAR, the highest in Dodgers' history, surpassing Mike Piazza’s 9.0 mark in 1997 - Holds the franchise record for most RBIs in a single game with 10 RBIs (in the game he went 6-for-6 with 3 home runs, 5 XBH and 2 stolen bases) - Most XBH by a LA Dodger (99) - Recorded 10 straight games with an RBI - 411 total bases, setting a LA Dodgers record, surpassing Adrián Beltré’s 376 total bases in 2004 - Hit the most home runs in a single season at Dodgers' home games with 28 home runs - Achieved a 190 OPS+, the highest in a qualified season in Dodgers history, surpassing Mike Piazza’s 185 OPS+ in 1997 - Set a Dodgers record with 134 runs scored, leading the majors in this category - Posted a .646 slugging percentage, leading the NL and setting a new Dodgers record, surpassing Gary Sheffield’s .643 mark in 2000 - Led the Dodgers in all offensive categories in a single season Well deserved unanimous MVP!!!
What makes this even more crazy is he did with dodgers.. one of the oldest and most successful baseball team in history. He’s shattered records from different eras in one season. Like wuht..
This pitcher recovering from elbow surgery: 1. Started the 50-50 club 2. Led the National League in home runs 3. Reached 40-40 on a walkoff grand slam 4. Reached 50-50 on a bonkers 6-for-6, hat trick (3 HRs) game where he and his team scored 20 runs. Not only is he like the Superman of baseball, he embodied what it was like for the Dodgers to reach the playoffs with all the injuries across the roster and _win._ Their WS MVP had a bad ankle, and as it turns out, a broken rib, and he was absolutely clutch with a 4-game homer streak and a walkoff grand slam. It is absolutely unreal when you think about it. Even when Shohei hurt his shoulder on a bad slide, he stepped up to the plate to help rally the team. I cannot wait to see him on the mound as a Dodger.

I really don't think there is an adjective in any language on earth that can adequately describe Shohei Ohtani. He is absolutely stunning and i have been watching Baseball for over 65 years, Would love to see him receive an Cy Young this coming season....AND another World Series....Aloha BTW. Dodgers rule
Alot of injured pitchers were out for the season this year but unlike them Ohtani can hit, and led in almost every offensive statistics (10 major offense cetegories) in the NL and almost won a triple crown (just 4 points of a batting title) and went 50-50.
It was a pleasure watching the power and speed of Ohtani this season, If they walk him he'll steal a base, and if they pitch to him he'll hit a HR, Shohei turns a single into a double or sometimes a triple with a stolen base, either way it's a nightmare and a bad percentage for the pitchers, and when Shohei is on base he knows how to spot a ball their machanic and habits because he's a pitcher himself, Shohei's success rate in SBs shows this. I was devasated when he got injured and could'nt pitch this year, But to see his all around talent with speed and power and make history going 50-50 that's as great as it gets.
Can't wait to see Ohtani returning as a pitcher next season, he was great in 2022, that year Shohei's ERA was 2.33 (and batters were hitting .203 against him as a pitcher) It was better than this years Cy young winners Sales 2.38 ERA (batters were hitting .216) and Skubal 2.39 (batters were hitting .204) And last year Shohei as an Ace pitcher batters were hitting .184 league best, It's incredible how dominating he was as a pitcher considering he won 15 games on an Angels team that were 72-90, he can win 20 games next season with the Dodgers.
Gotta remember he may not have that same velo after the surgery, but i dont doubt after some time he will get back to being an ace pitcher. First few games i kinda expect to be a bit rough around the edges @timbo_062
@@timbo_062I think he will be better for 2 reason he much better catchers in la you would be shocked how that can transform a pitcher and much better pitching coaches in la
Ohtani is the painter of the century, creating a masterpiece in MLB. 50-50 club, WS champion, 3rd unanimous MVP award, truly picturesque!! Shohei amazes baseball fans all over the world again and again and again in his own way, the Ohtani’s Way. What a year for Shohei! The sky is the limit. C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S, Ohtani!!🎉🎉🎉
The MVP should be named the Ohtani Award, there's no player more valuable than him, one of the best hitters, base runners and pitchers (that's mythical and Goat status)
Shohei Ohtani had one of the greatest MLB seasons in history and led almost every offensive statistics in the NL with 10 offensive cetegories Runs-134. RBIs-130. Runs Created-176. Extra Base Hits-99. Total Base Hits-411. On Base Percentage-391. Slugging-646. WAR-9.2. OPS-1.036. Home Runs-54 And second in Batting Average-.310. Hits-197. Stolen Bases-59. And the first player ever to go 50-50 (54-59)
I agree, but one thing: Ohtani is not once in a generation player, he's the only one in the history. No other baseball player can play like him. None. Ohtani can pitch at Cy Young level, can steal 20+, hit for 40+ HR at the same time. Don't forget, he can also play outfield with cannon arm. He played 54 games as an outfielder in 2013, while pitching. He now has a power to hit 50+HR constantly. Not just 2024, but in 2023, If he kept playing as a hitter, he was on pace to hit 50+HR (2023: 44HR in 135 games, 2024: 45HR in 135 games and ended hitting 54HR in 159 games).
Ohtani got injured after game 2 in the WS, he was playing with one good arm after he dislocated his shoulder, (I played baseball in HS and injured my arm It was difficult to lift or swing the bat), but his teammates wanted him out there, a heart of a Champion.
Ohtani dislocated his shoulder in game 2 and after the World Series he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, other players would've sat out, but his teammates wanted their superstar leader out there and gave them inspiration, a heart of a Champion. I have more respect for Ohtani playing injured in the World Series than him batting .365 in the NLCS.
that 6-6 game vs the marlins was PROBABLY the best offensive game by a single player of all time. and he was little 2 steps away from recording a cycle if he was safe on that one play where he ran for a triple. That would have for sure made it the best offensive game of all time. he woulda had 6-6, 10 RBIs, 3 home runs, 2 steals, a cycle that day. And the record setting 50-50 game.
@@tarasitismindaugas4561they give an MVP award to a national league player and an american league player. Judge and Shohei can both win every year. Like they just did. Neither one can block the other. Why do people not get this?!?🤷♂️🤦♂️

He is the first primary DH to win one and technically the only person DH period to win one because even though the other two were as both he still counts as a DH
In a year he's recovering from Thommy John surgery. Not just didn't pitch, he's recovering from a surgery whilst doing this, and preparing and rehabilitating his arm for pitching next year.
As a Giants fan, I am so glad Ohtani came to the NL. If not for Ohtani, Lindor would have won the MVP and the lowest level NL MVP of all time. Thanks to Ohtani, the dignity of the NL is preserved. Congratulations Ohtani!
He is the second player to win the award in both leagues since Frank Robinson of the 1961 Sin City Reds and 1966 Baltimore Orioles, and the first in history to win it two years in a row across leagues. No complaints!Congratulations on winning the 'full vote' award, Shohei!
As a Giants fan, I really like Ohtani because he’s one of a kind player and was kinda cool I got to see him hit a home run in person for my very first time at Oracle Park EVER this season!!
I understand the frustration of Mets Fans that Lindor lost to a "DH," but keep in mind that although all Ohtani did was Bat, he created the 50/50 club and beyond, and without that production, the Dodgers' Post Season Status would've been questionable. Ohtani more than deserves this, Congrats to him!
So happy for Shohei, as great as the MVP is it was even greater to see Ohtani win a Championship, the Goat 🐐 has his title. In Japan, Ohtani was known as "yakyū shōnen" (野球少年; "baseball boy")-a kid who lives, eats and breathes baseball ⚾️
In one season.... - The First Dodger to hit 50+ HR - The First person in MLB history to reach 50/50 in a season - Wins World Series title in his first post season appearance - first person to win 3 unanimous MVP awards( he was also the first to have 2 unanimous MVP awards) - Second player to win MVP in both leagues - First DH to win MVP and there will be more to come as a Dodger.
The greatest all around baseball player ever to live he's the first one to 50/50 he has one 3 unanimous MVP's something that 27,000 baseball players could never do
🎉Congratulations SHOHEI!!! Well deserved unanimous MVP. You never cease to amaze the baseball world. You are a gift to BASEBALL & made lot of people who left watching baseball to come back and also new fans who got intrigued with SHO-TIME
Shohei Ohtani ends up leading the National League in: Home runs (54) RBI (130) On-base percentage (.390) Slugging percentage (.646) OPS (1.036) Runs (134) Extra-base hits (99) Total bases (411) He will also lead in advanced metrics such as bWAR, fWAR, OPS+, wRC+. He finishes second in batting average, stolen bases, hits, walks and intentional walks 🐐
New Yorkers/Lindor fangirls really have some fascinating logic. They want you to fall for the idea that their beloved Lindor deserved the NL MVP, yet they conveniently gloss over a few tiny details-like, oh, maybe the fact that he didn’t even make the All-Star team, the All-MLB first team, or even as a gold glove finalist, despite their fixation on his defensive prowess compared to that "non-defending" Ohtani. And let's not forget the little issue of WAR. You know, that pesky stat where Ohtani casually outshines him with a whopping 9.2 bWAR compared to Lindor’s 6.9. These casuals twist themselves into mental pretzels trying to say Ohtani doesn’t deserve MVP just because he’s a DH. Never mind that Ohtani's stats leave Lindor eating dust in any offensive metric you care to name: OPS, AVG, RBI, OBP, OPS+…yep, all Ohtani. And yes, let's just sweep under the rug the trivial detail that Ohtani didn't merely have an MVP season like few others. No, he casually decided to craft one of the most legendary seasons in the annals of baseball history with his 50/50 milestone, and he did this in arguably the greatest regular season game ever, with his 6-for-6 performance featuring 3 homers, 10 RBI, 5 XBH, and 2 SB to clinch the postseason. Enough said, Ohtani is obviously the true MVP.
Ohtani in his first season with the Dodgers exceeded all expectations, he's an injured pitcher almost won a battling title and a triple crown, broke dozens of records, led almost every offensive statistics, went 50-50 and won a World Series Championship.
Congratulations to Shohei Ohtani!! He deserved the unanimous vote for the insane season he had! I feel it’s been a privilege to witness this phenom in our lifetime. Thank you Shohei and can’t wait for the next season!
I love watching these videos of pitchers not turning around to see if Ohtani hit a home run off their pitch. Also, some right fielders remain frozen in their position without looking for the ball.
@@jennykawadamack3509If Judge played in the National league, He not only wins MVP But would have more hits, Homer's and Rbi, than the entire National league, Winning a easy Triple Crown 👑
Season summary: 1. Tommy John surgery 2. Joins new team and league 3. Gets married 4. Interpreter scandal 5. Passes multiple single season Japanese record (RBI, HR, SB) 6. Walk off grand slam to join 40-40 club 7. Creates the 50-50 club with arguably the best single game in MLB history 8. Wins first WS ring What else did I miss?
A pitcher who wins a unanimous MVP as a hitter to pass the time during rehab.
Exactly, this is Shohei at 50% power.
Still the best player in the world

It was a pleasure watching the power and speed of Ohtani, If they walk him he'll steal a base, and if they pitch to him he'll hit a HR, Shohei turns a single into a double or sometimes a triple with a stolen base, either way it's a nightmare and a bad percentage for the pitchers, and when Shohei is on base he knows how to spot a ball their machanic and habits because he's a pitcher himself, Shohei's success rate in SBs shows this. I was devasated when he got injured and could'nt pitch this year, But to see his all around talent with speed and power and make history going 50-50 that's as great as it gets.
He is the best.
Congratulations Ohtani and the Dodgers. Well deserved trophies and titles
First ever DH to be MVP, OHtani continues to be the GOAT of baseball
Dunno about that.
He is the first primary DH to win one and technically the only person DH period to win one because even though the other two were as both he still counts as a DH
40/40 walk-off grandslam then proceeds to go create the first 50/50 club, and yet gunning for the first 60/60. This guy is nuts
Ohtani racking them trophies up! 🌟🏆
In a year when he didn't pitch, he still won the NL MVP! The GOAT continues to make history! 🐐
In a year he's recovering from Thommy John surgery. Not just didn't pitch, he's recovering from a surgery whilst doing this, and preparing and rehabilitating his arm for pitching next year.
Joy and blessings to the great player, the legend is not over yet!
Congratulations, Shohei Otani. He won MVP in both leagues. I'm rooting for you from Japan.
As a Giants fan, I am so glad Ohtani came to the NL. If not for Ohtani, Lindor would have won the MVP and the lowest level NL MVP of all time.
Thanks to Ohtani, the dignity of the NL is preserved.
Congratulations Ohtani!
Yup 100% agree. Imagine Lindor winning MVP. LOL.
As a dodgers fan. You should be a little more respectful. He wasnt saying nothing bad@@Suffering1204
確かに大谷居なかったらALのmvpと差ありすぎてたなw
@@user-xu3ii7dy7lALのMVPレースがヤバすぎる
ウィットjrの成績で獲れないのバグだろ
Mad respect bro real recognize real
First DH to win MVP!! Amazing!
Dunno about that.
For the 3rd time to win MVP UNANIMOUSLY.
HE IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN !!!!!!!
Did you know no other pro atheists in American leagues has ever won more than one unanimous
He is the reason now i am watching baseball again,he makes it exciting and he is the team i love Dodgers!!
Yep! I started watching baseball again because of him.
He is the second player to win the award in both leagues since Frank Robinson of the 1961 Sin City Reds and 1966 Baltimore Orioles, and the first in history to win it two years in a row across leagues.
No complaints!Congratulations on winning the 'full vote' award, Shohei!
also the second person to have 3 MVPs in their career and the only one to have more than 1 unanimous MVP awarded to him.
As a Giants fan, I really like Ohtani because he’s one of a kind player and was kinda cool I got to see him hit a home run in person for my very first time at Oracle Park EVER this season!!
You're also a Padres fan.
Boston red Sox who has dice k matsuaka win a world series in 2007 but I doubt his Japanese & marketing he does for MLB has infinate value!
I understand the frustration of Mets Fans that Lindor lost to a "DH," but keep in mind that although all Ohtani did was Bat, he created the 50/50 club and beyond, and without that production, the Dodgers' Post Season Status would've been questionable. Ohtani more than deserves this, Congrats to him!
A man who can only win MVP with a full vote.
Much deserved,
A great player of historic proportions. A humble man, but a dedicated and focused baseball player. Well deserved.
One of a kind player with a one of a kind season. ❤🎉
So happy for Shohei, as great as the MVP is it was even greater to see Ohtani win a Championship, the Goat 🐐 has his title. In Japan, Ohtani was known as "yakyū shōnen" (野球少年; "baseball boy")-a kid who lives, eats and breathes baseball ⚾️
In one season....
- The First Dodger to hit 50+ HR
- The First person in MLB history to reach 50/50 in a season
- Wins World Series title in his first post season appearance
- first person to win 3 unanimous MVP awards( he was also the first to have 2 unanimous MVP awards)
- Second player to win MVP in both leagues
- First DH to win MVP
and there will be more to come as a Dodger.
Beautiful swing!
I always wish Shohei good health
The greatest all around baseball player ever to live he's the first one to 50/50 he has one 3 unanimous MVP's something that 27,000 baseball players could never do
Well deserved, congratulations to Ohtani
And he’s just getting started!
🐐 of all 🐐s
Honor of the baseball🇯🇵
Please be healthy Ohtani so i can look up to more amazing year ❤❤
3 unanimous MVPs and he's only 30 years old. Ohtani is already a MLB Legend and one of the greatest to ever play the game.
🎉Congratulations SHOHEI!!! Well deserved unanimous MVP. You never cease to amaze the baseball world. You are a gift to BASEBALL & made lot of people who left watching baseball to come back and also new fans who got intrigued with SHO-TIME

Ohtani 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏
GOAT 🐐
New Yorkers/Lindor fangirls really have some fascinating logic. They want you to fall for the idea that their beloved Lindor deserved the NL MVP, yet they conveniently gloss over a few tiny details-like, oh, maybe the fact that he didn’t even make the All-Star team, the All-MLB first team, or even as a gold glove finalist, despite their fixation on his defensive prowess compared to that "non-defending" Ohtani. And let's not forget the little issue of WAR. You know, that pesky stat where Ohtani casually outshines him with a whopping 9.2 bWAR compared to Lindor’s 6.9.
These casuals twist themselves into mental pretzels trying to say Ohtani doesn’t deserve MVP just because he’s a DH. Never mind that Ohtani's stats leave Lindor eating dust in any offensive metric you care to name: OPS, AVG, RBI, OBP, OPS+…yep, all Ohtani.
And yes, let's just sweep under the rug the trivial detail that Ohtani didn't merely have an MVP season like few others. No, he casually decided to craft one of the most legendary seasons in the annals of baseball history with his 50/50 milestone, and he did this in arguably the greatest regular season game ever, with his 6-for-6 performance featuring 3 homers, 10 RBI, 5 XBH, and 2 SB to clinch the postseason. Enough said, Ohtani is obviously the true MVP.
Insane season. What a ride!
No baseball player in history has three unanimous MVP' that means he's the best ever to play the game out of 27,000 players
Ohtani in his first season with the Dodgers exceeded all expectations, he's an injured pitcher almost won a battling title and a triple crown, broke dozens of records, led almost every offensive statistics, went 50-50 and won a World Series Championship.
I'm just happy i live watching him playing
There's no need to describe best or highest Japanese. He's one of the best ever- period. And definitely the best from the planet Krypton.
babe ruth could never do this. SHOTIME IS THE GOAT
Expected and deserved. 3rd unanimous MVP and first MVP ever as DH
Dunno about that.
Congratulations to Shohei Ohtani!! He deserved the unanimous vote for the insane season he had! I feel it’s been a privilege to witness this phenom in our lifetime. Thank you Shohei and can’t wait for the next season!
I love watching these videos of pitchers not turning around to see if Ohtani hit a home run off their pitch. Also, some right fielders remain frozen in their position without looking for the ball.
I wish you continued success without getting injured.
🐐👑×10times.
SHOHEI GOATANI 🐐🐐🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
unicorn🦄
legend
He worth it ❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
What a first year as a Dodger, well deserved!
Well deserved. He's LA for life.
Ohtani is the only player to win 3 Unanimous MVPS. Just another day at the office for the greatest baseball player to ever play.
大谷翔平選手MVPおめでとうございます♪
We are witnessing a piece of history. Congratulations Shohei!
I’m a grown man watching this laying on my stomach with my feet in the air because I love Ohtani
LGD
Wow! Deserved!
大谷🎉やっぱりいいね✌
何回見てもいい
早く来年の試合みたい
同じ日本人として素直に嬉しいです、しかもDHとして
満場一致で選んでくれたアメリカの人達にも感謝💛
SHOHEI LOVE🦄🦄🦄🦄
40-40のさよならグランドスラム、50-50の1試合3本塁打10打点は、これからも心に残る試合。リハビリ中の投手なのに、リーグ1-2位の数字ばかり。パドレス戦、1-2で押されても、後2回、勝てばいいだけ。ベンチが暗いムードの中、一人、腹減った、何食べようと皆を笑わせ、奮起させてしまう人柄、諦めないパワーや卓越した技術が素晴らしい💐💐💐💐。
Got his ring, now you can’t dispute him being an all time great.
And WBC as well.
@@BobSaysWhat22 WBC isn't really that important tbh, was a cool moment though.
Judge is cute😂
Juan Soto was too😂
@@jennykawadamack3509If Judge played in the National league,
He not only wins MVP
But would have more hits, Homer's and Rbi, than the entire National league,
Winning a easy Triple Crown 👑
Season summary:
1. Tommy John surgery
2. Joins new team and league
3. Gets married
4. Interpreter scandal
5. Passes multiple single season Japanese record (RBI, HR, SB)
6. Walk off grand slam to join 40-40 club
7. Creates the 50-50 club with arguably the best single game in MLB history
8. Wins first WS ring
What else did I miss?
Forgot to add that he got the first ever MVP as a DH
@@-.TS.- Number 7. That statline is basically playing a game from "THE BIGS". Look it up, arcade MLB game.
サイヤング賞
9. The second to win MVP in both league;
Conclusion: The GOAT.
His first home run in all stars game
you guys realize we just saw one of the greatest seasons in the history of this sport right
1イニングも登板せずにMVPを受賞した投手
TBE. Who can pitch AND bat in today's competive baseball world? ONLY ONE, Shohei Ohtani
Ibang klase talaga!!💯Shohei Ohtani!!😤🥇🏆💙
_Perspective on his GREATNESS_ Shohei Ohtani is basically Joe Montana and Lawrence Taylor, but as a single person.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 What a pitcher 😂😂😂
