MLB viewership has skyrocketed due to Ohtani. He has brought in fans from all over the world and from other sporting disciplines. He is currently one of the highest trending google searches since reaching his 50/50. What a great time to be an MLB fan.
Yes sir, I am french and baseball isn't really a big deal here. I became interested in this great sport because of anime of all things 😅 and since a couple of years, I've been watching every now and then, some highlights from this channel. This year, I've watched every, single, game, this man has played, and even if soccer will always be n⁰1 in my heart, I cannot fathom how a human being can do the things Shohei Ohtani is doing. Being that good at baseball seems really complicated, but his man makes it look so freaking easy it's disturbing. Sorry for the rant, but thank you for inventing the sport that gave birth to this freak of nature
I've been following mlb from summer 2023... guess why? Shohei Ohtani 😂 baseball isn't big in Italy and I didn't like baseball before, now I'm a super fan. The game against marlins where he hit 50/50 I watched the whole game live
@@usafan96soren20You should look up the “Steroid Era” of late 90’s that was last time I was really watching baseball with guys like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and McGwuire going at it for the single season HR record was something to be hold. I still don’t care they were on steroids because it doesn’t make it automatically that much easier especially when you consider most the league was using.
One of the greatest seasons in baseball history. Once in a generation is an understatement when talking about Ohtani. He is a once in a century type of player that we all should be lucky to be alive to witness.
@@user-tz9jh6pv2j He's already done more pitching and better pitching than Babe Ruth did. But Ohtani isn't in it for records, he's in it for the game, for the team, for the wins. He's in it for the right reasons to add to an already incredible player.

So what do you have, a designated hitter who is 24th career wise in OPS+, and has not had his numbers drawn down by the career decline that everybody experiences.
Unbelievable, I've been a Dodger fan all my life and I can't get over the greatness that we are seeing night after night. I can't wait to see what he does when he starts pitching again.
LeBron, Brady, and Mahomes have all praised Ohtani across sports boundaries. As long as he remains the *"face of baseball,"* MLB looks set to only get better from here.🏈🏀⚾️🦄💨
OMG I never get tired of watching his plays! His batting sound is powerful and completely different from others, and his movements when stealing bases are as smooth and beautiful as art. It even feels sublime. He is definitely loved by the baseball gods.
Without a doubt, a man who has revived baseball. A man who clearly shows new possibilities to the next generation who grew up watching him, and who will connect baseball to an even higher level 10 to 20 years from now. This 26 minutes and 41 seconds video is a baseball textbook of history.
I was literally concerned he might have a minor slump and not make it... But then to go absolutely ballistic like that in 1 game.... He's just incomprehensible.
Im a life long Dodger fan and I was so excited when we acquired him this season. I knew it was gonna be an amazing year but lol damn lol. This has truly been an unbelievable first season with the franchise. He absolutely is the G.O.A.T. I cant wait for post season! GO BLUE!!! 💙⚾💙⚾💙
They will lose in the first round of playoffs as usual. Their entire first tier pitching staff is on the DL. Just like last year. Kershaw is done but they signed him to a 7 year deal. They are known as "choke artists" for a reason.
@@C3Rl3 Yep. They never get the WS win. Always letting their fans down. Except that one short season WS win. They got knocked out of the first round playoffs by Arizona in 3 straight last year. That's what is called a choke. Padres beat them 3/4 in the year before. They can't even buy a WS win with the highest payroll in the MLB That's what tf I'm talking about. Losers. Highest payroll in baseball and ONE WS win after1988.
I’m 82 and always thought baseball was boring. Stumbled upon Ohtani up to bat and hitting a hr early April 2024 while flipping channels and haven’t missed a game since. Now Ohtani keeps this old lady from boredom and I can’t wait to see him pitch.
A few decades from now, when older baseball fans and younger fans debate who the greatest player in history is, Shohei Ohtani will surely be a candidate. I look forward to everyone raising a toast in agreement.
Few decades from now, nobody will mention Babe Ruth in the GOAT conversations, the same way nobody mentioned Bill Russell in the NBA GOAT conversations.

@@kitjerubainaIt’s going to take a special type of psychotic individual to knock MJ off that GOAT pedestal, these modern players are too friendly without the fire to compete with his legacy.
As a Giants fan I hate praising a Dodger but I have too. This guy is not only a great ball player but, by all accounts, a fantastic person. I just feel lucky to get to experience his performances.
Ohtani is the Goat, an Ace pitcher with a career 3.01 ERA and 11.1 Ks (can win 15 games with a 2.33 ERA in a season) and also hit 50 HRs and have 50 stolen bases. Speed Power and an Ace pitcher, even Babe Ruth never did that.
@@teddy-ez5ztnot even close to Babe Ruth career averages BA 342 - Hrs 46 - RBIs 110 for 22 years. 2.28 ERA - CG 107 SHO 17 pitched 14 innings in world series win pitched 10 season. 7 time world series champion, average hr in 1921 between 510 and 612 ft. 1920 he hit more homeruns than every team but Philly.
Here is a fun fact: It was only last month when Ohtani joined the 30-30 Club (Aug 3rd) and then 3 weeks later he joined the 40-40 Club (Aug 24). It gets even crazier...it took him less than 7 weeks to go from 33-29 to 51-51. Beginning of August: 20/20 Middle/end of September: 50/50
When did he start batting first when Mookie got hurt? Imagine what his stolen bases count would've been if he started first at the start of the season.
I don't think he'll do 50/50 again unless he is a full-time DH going forward. I'd have to think his numbers will go down once he's on the mound again. Let's hope for 55/55. He's at Colorado today, so 55/55 is doable. 60/60?🤔🤭🤷♂️🤣
He’s the man, the player who brought me back to watching MLB. I completely divorced the game during the steroid era. If you need that kind of help to play the game, you really are not great. This man has talent from God and he is not afraid to use it all. Such a breath of fresh air to the sport. A very humble talent who is the best thing for baseball in many, many years. Also praise to the managers who give him reign to explore the boundaries of his many talents.🎉
@@iamayamiamitik5880 Japanese sport athletes and even pro-wrestlers don't use steroids. Besides is forbidden, drugs bring shame to the surname and the entire family in Japan. The consequences (damage) to the career can't be comparable in Japan and US. In US is just a slap in the wrist.
@iamayamiamitik5880 he's trying to explain how shame has whole different meaning in Japan (and in Korea and China too) than in western countries. If you bring shame to your family in those countries your family can be "disowned" by rest of the community. In Japan there are some.. let's say interesting "shame" laws. Let's say you know your boss in work is doing something illegal and you tell about it to co-worker or authorities which leads to your boss losing reputation or losing shame you can actually be sentenced for shaming and ruining their reputation even though you didn't do anything wrong.
Shohei is more than a regular DH, most all DH are only hitters and averaged 4 or 5 stolen bases. What a 40-40 shows is he's an all around player with speed and power, but with 50-50 it shows Ohtani is above greatness to immortality
Definitely, Shohei isn't immortality because he found 50-50 club & reached 54-59 as a rehab pitcher! He was rehab from last Sept's arm surgery and he was under serious limitations in numbers of hits, swings of bats, and usage of strength (restricted by the black limiter he wore in every AB) throughout '24 season. Ohtani wasn't totally healthy, esp his surgical arm was recovering under serious cares & consistent rehab throughout '24 season. Ohtani was a rehab pitcher, that's why he could only be a DH in '24 while he found 50-50 club.
An Ace Pitcher in rehab but again Ohtani showed he's the most valuable player by going 50-50, also leads the NL in Runs RBIs Extra base hits WAR OPS Slugging and HRs
What an unbelievable achievement!!! And he seems like such a humble guy and good teammate, too. Out of all of the great players in the history of the game, there has NEVER been anyone like him.
If Shohei had entered the MLB immediately after graduating from high school as he had originally hoped, we would have seen him only as a pitcher today. We wouldn't have seen Shohei as a incredible home run hitter and a skilled base stealer, which we are now applauding. Shohei himself intended to play as a pitcher in the MLB, and MLB teams' executives thought the same. And he told the NPB teams not to draft him. Despite this, only the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters selected him as their first pick, but Shohei initially declined the nomination. However, the team and manager Hideki Kuriyama (who was also the manager of Team Japan in the WBC 2023) presented him with a detailed development plan and suggested that he would try playing as a professional two-way player, something that he himself had not thought about. Their enthusiastic persuasion paved the way for Shohei to become a great two-way player in the professional league and made it a reality. Furthermore, the LA Angels accepted him as a two-way player in the MLB. And In 2021, manager Joe Maddon respected Ohtani's desire to "play every day as a two-way player", and removed the batting restrictions, giving him a freer environment. I can't express my gratitude to all of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!! Of course, I would also like to thank his father, Tooru, and Hanamaki Higashi High School's manager Hiroshi Sasaki, who built the foundation for Shohei as a great baseball player, as well as his mother, Kayoko, his elder brother, Ryuta, and elder sister, Yuuka, who raised Shohei to be a kind and generous person. Congratulations to Shohei for joining first the 50/50 club ! ! ! ! ! （I'm a Japanese and used Google translation.）
I just want to say to anyone watching this 100 years from now, this is not a rumor, it's a fact. I won't be around in 100 years, but these images are real, not AI.
Never has there been and or will there ever be another player as spectacular and special s Shohei. We folks are witnessing a once in a lifetime phenomenon. And the best thing of it all. Is that he is making millions of us fans fall in love with the game all over again.
Everyone said we may never see this great player again. I guess that true. He's the All MLB First Team starting pitcher can throw 100 mph. And achieve to 50/50 first player in MLB history. Yeah absolutely never see again
This is incredible. Hello Kitty Night in the Dodger stadium brought me here and Ohtani made me stay. This is amazing! I never thought i would be watching baseball, now i know most of the Dodgers players. This is just crazy 🦄

Ohtani’s legacy is a tale written in ageless scripts, an enduring beacon across time's endless stretch.
An Ace Pitcher in rehab but again Ohtani showed he's the most valuable player by going 50-50, also leads the NL in Runs RBIs Extra base hits WAR OPS Slugging and HRs
A monster, Hits, Pitch, steals
国境を超えて多くの人達が偉業を称賛していることは、決して当たり前の事ではない。野球の勝利だ！
素晴らしいコメント👍
What an unbelievable achievement!!! And he seems like such a humble guy and good teammate, too. Out of all of the great players in the history of the game, there has NEVER been anyone like him.
What a beautiful teachable swing
我愛大谷翔平，我來自台灣
大谷翔平の全盛期をこうして見れることが如何に幸運なことか
確信歩きかっこいい…！天才が誰よりも努力したから、この結果を得られたんですね🦄
the undisputed greatest of all time
Ohtani really puts on a heck of a Sho Time
飽きる事なく見れる💞そしていつしか笑顔になってる自分😄
I was born in the era of Ohtani nobody can take that away in the next dimension/life
救世主❤
And to top it all off this guy is such a class act. Humility mixed with raw talent is a rare gem indeed.
If Shohei had entered the MLB immediately after graduating from high school as he had originally hoped, we would have seen him only as a pitcher today. We wouldn't have seen Shohei as a incredible
home run hitter and a skilled base stealer, which we are now applauding.
Shohei himself intended to play as a pitcher in the MLB, and MLB teams' executives thought the same. And he told the NPB teams not to draft him. Despite this, only the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters selected him as their first pick, but Shohei initially declined the nomination.
However, the team and manager Hideki Kuriyama (who was also the manager of Team Japan in the WBC 2023) presented him with a detailed development plan and suggested that he would try playing as a professional two-way player, something that he himself had not thought about. Their enthusiastic persuasion paved the way for Shohei to become a great two-way player in the professional league and made it a reality.
Furthermore, the LA Angels accepted him as a two-way player in the MLB. And In 2021, manager Joe Maddon respected Ohtani's desire to "play every day as a two-way player", and removed the batting restrictions, giving him a freer environment.
I can't express my gratitude to all of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!
Of course, I would also like to thank his father, Tooru, and Hanamaki Higashi High School's manager Hiroshi Sasaki, who built the foundation for Shohei as a great baseball player, as well as his mother, Kayoko, his elder brother, Ryuta, and elder sister, Yuuka, who raised Shohei to be a kind and generous person.
Congratulations to Shohei for joining first the 50/50 club ! ! ! ! !
（I'm a Japanese and used Google translation.）
15勝以上の投手は何人もいる。ホームラン50本以上打った選手も何人もいる。50盗塁以上を達成した選手も何人もいる。
しかしこれら全てを達成できるのは”野球の神”だけだ。
今から野球をはじめる
子供達が羨ましい✨
こんないいお手本と
トッププレイヤーがいると
ワクワクすんだろ😁
NL MVP.... Unanimous
Just Damn!! A generational talent... once in a century... a lifetime
It's just the way it pops off his bat for me. I could just listen to ASMR of that sound to go to sleep.
Yeah. Im pumped i got to see him play. Best baseball player ever. Cant wait to see him pitch next year.
There has never been anyone like him, and I doubt there will ever be another “Shohei Ohtani”. Probably not in any sport. Truly incredible to watch.
Ohtani thank you 🙏🏾
Congratulations to you, Shohei Ohtani 🎉❤
I just want to say to anyone watching this 100 years from now,
this is not a rumor, it's a fact.
I won't be around in 100 years, but these images are real, not AI.
Finally baseball is fun to watch again never thought it would since Ichiro retired but I’m glad he’s carrying the torch now
Best to touch the diamond ever
Love from India ,Shohei Ohtani the GOAT❤️
こんな選手は二度と現れないだろうね。
同じ時代に生まれてよかった！
This man is Insane!!!💯
The Ohtani Club has been officially founded!
Shohei is inspirational and sensational in every sense of baseball games, not only in MLB history but also around the world!!
Never has there been and or will there ever be another player as spectacular and special s
Shohei. We folks are witnessing a once in a lifetime phenomenon. And the best thing of it all. Is that he is making millions of us fans fall in love with the game all over again.
大谷翔平真的沒極限🎉🎉
憧れるの…やめれません
I don’t watch baseball at all but recently ive been binging this guy’s highlights its so entertaining to watch
50-50達成おめでとう。😄
Shohei GOATani-san!
大谷が生きている時代に生まれてよかったと再確認できる
もちろんです！あなたの文章をもっと洗練させたバージョンがこちらです：
「彼の登場前は、生涯のエクスポズファンとして、今年のメジャー選手を 1 人しか知りませんでした。しかし、チームがモントリオールを去ってから、野球を観戦しなくなりました。でも、今となっては。大谷のおかげで、私は戻ってきました！彼のプレーや打撃を見るのが大好きで、彼が投球する姿も見るのを待ちきれません。なんて素晴らしい人なのでしょう。」
歴代の打率やHR、盗塁、防御率等1番になる訳じゃないけど彼は間違いなく唯一無二の🦄
誰も真似できない
Everyone said we may never see this great player again. I guess that true. He's the All MLB First Team starting pitcher can throw 100 mph. And achieve to 50/50 first player in MLB history. Yeah absolutely never see again
Ohtani 55/55❤
What an incredible player.
He's the best offensive player when he's not pitching. While top 2 and a top 5 pitcher when he can pitch. He's really a monster.
This is incredible. Hello Kitty Night in the Dodger stadium brought me here and Ohtani made me stay. This is amazing! I never thought i would be watching baseball, now i know most of the Dodgers players. This is just crazy 🦄
この人の野球に対する熱意とか向上心、努力は今の子供たちにとっていい見本😊
この時代に生まれた世界一の選手。彼と同じ時代に生きているのがまさに天の恵であります。韓国から。
The greatest player in our era. Living in the era when Shohei Ohtani plays is such a fortune. From Korea.
오타니 선수는 우리 시대 제일의 선수입니다. 같은 시대에 살아가는 것이 참으로 행운이에요. 한국에서.
A pitcher hits well.
Congratulations to you, Shohei Ohtani 🎉❤ ... What a season in MLB history so far, Sh😮😊
シーズン開始当初誰がここまで彼が来ると予想したのだろうか。我々の想像を超える所を走っているような気がする。
SHOWTIMEをリアルタイムで見れてる事が奇跡🔥おめでとうございます🎉
Amazing Ohtani❤❤❤
棒球神人地位更加確立，無論是球技精神，謙和人品，體格力量，心理素質都很了不起，真的很"棒" ... ^_^
