At the age of 13, as a little league player, Shohei hit one huge HR that went beyond the stadium, flew out and broke the traffic lights outside the stadium. His two-way performance started that year.

Think about if you were a pitcher, and this other pitcher just destroys you as a hitter. It must be so devastating that this pitcher can out-hit you when you're a devoted full-time pitcher.
@@DS-qz2gu I have heard that this game is very popular in USA and Japan. I just wanted to know why two most developed countries on world are crazy about it. The sport is very slow with no fun. Cricket matches are also long but fun to watch. This is not true with baseball .......

Ohtani is a monster. Makes Trout look like a slappy. The best thing about this video is the pitchers reactions. They know immediately when it's tagged. They refuse to see it go.
I’m seriously speechless. I’m so motivated. I’ve been slacking on my workouts for the past 5 years. I’m bout to get off my ass. To see this is so inspiring. Watch his swing. Look at his feet when they slow it down. HE’S NOT EVER FULLY GROUNDED. His front foot PIVOTS his back foot is only on the ball of his foot. Do you understand overstand and innerstand how much power you have when you are able to do that then look at his has hands when he hits change ups he pulls his hands back that means HE CAN FULLY SEE THE BALL omg I bet I bet the ball is big or he can see it so clear that he’s able to see it all the way to the crack of the bat which means he puts it EXACTLY where he wants it to go which is boy I tell you what I bet in some way or another is too show up the American historical homerun hitters and we all know how that went but he prolly is so motivated to crush that damn ball smooth out the park just to show them a Japanese PITCHER is doin it omg this is a marvelous display of focus silent passion dexterity eye tracking and hand eye coordination I will say this then I’m out if he keeps this up he’s on pace to hit over 60 home runs EASY no roids you can look at his form he’s a powerful hitter but if you really know baseball you can see how he’s catching up to pitches which CLEARLY shows that he’s really REAL PITCHER THAT CAN HIT HOMERUNS! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 bless that man and his family and all who read this far ✌🏾
@@_jm6260 Japanese omelette is on a whole different level my friend. It ain’t as easy as making your typical omelette. It’s Asian level difficulty. Enough said.
Well the reason he took the low contract and his talents to the angels when he came over to the sho, he went with the halos cause they would allow him to still play two way ball. A lot of teams wanted him but wanted him as a hitter, if he cared so much about his pay we wouldn’t be here watching a pitcher running 33 homers in a season 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@ElvisFreshly NO. All the teams wanted him as a pitcher. Remember scouts said Ohtani's hitting was high school level back then. And number 2, what you said is not the exact reason his pay is so low NOW. Ohtani had his chance to make a little bit more money last year, when he avoided arbitration. The fundamental reason he is paid low is 1) he was not this good as he was injured in previous years, 2) only first year of arbitration, cant get that much money like an established free agent.
And 3rd. He doesn't really care about the money as long as his enjoy ing playing baseball doing what he likes pitching and hitting. He give his salary to his mom and allow her to save it for him. He's contents with a sending of $1,000 a month. He even donated his $150, 000 that he earned in participating in the HR derby to the Angels Staff and Personnel.
I'm sure the next contract he signs will be incredibly large. If he continues to play this well and stays healthy he'll deserve every penny. No one does what he does.
That 33rd home run, peeps says it hit the back wall up the fourth deck...could never track it even in slow mo'....did see the ricochet back to the first tier but for a moment it entered the Twilight Zone....
Yeah, watched and been to many games in the last 50 years.......if I've ever heard that before I don't remember when. I don't care what you are doing, your neck spins around looking for what made that sound.
this guy is great to watch, have not followed ball for years but he makes it fun. love his smile. BUT, it takes a lot of time to be compared to do what the best of have done. let's just watch and see. thanks all God is real and waiting for you.
Swing like Griffey Jr, ball steams off the bat, 300-500+ homer club type swing. Pitches like Pedro with 100 Mph gas and a curve/slider/splitter from 70-96 mph on command…… And runs the bases and hustles on in park hits like Ricky Henderson 500 plus SB potential.
Freak athlete... pure freak... #40 tonight. If he keeps up hitting+pitching like this for a handful of years he we be in the GOAT MLB player discussion for sure. I am rooting for him even tho I don't really care about the Angels, or really even baseball these days. But I know baseball, and this kid is phenomenal. Actually makes me want to watch more Angels games.
Lol the call on his 32nd is great. "He's a beast!!" "Ha-Haaa!!!" Cracked me up. I think if Ohtani stays healthy the rest of the year he has a shot at mid 50s. Who knows? If he gets super hot, like he can, he might get 60.
"Ohhh he's gonna get to jog around the bases! He did it again!" That announcer loves it. And how about the interpreter who gets to go everywhere Ohtani does too. Dream job.
Almost all his homeruns were rocketed and aimed to the moon. You can almost guarantee it's a bomb when it connected. This is the reason so many chickened out of the derby
Ohtani doesn't hitt many cheap HRs. I'd say his average HR distance has to be over 400 ft. The shortest ones may be the 2 line drives at Yankee Stadium and the one at Fenway around the Pesky Pole. He gets his power almost entirely through his hands and arms. He practically hits his HRs flat-footed. He could probably drive the ball further if he developed a leg kick for forward momentum. He's also unusual in that he's a left-handed batter who can handle high pitches, and hit the high pitches with power. Those are usually pop-ups or strikeout pitches for lefty hitters.
I just realized that he has ZERO kick in his swing. Almost nobody else whose name isn't Pujols, Trout or Big Papi doesn't hit for power without getting that high knee in. It's only hips and up - zero foot movement except for a little toe point and swivel to help his momentum. Jesus. That's like Federer hitting a 120mph return of serve on the baseline WITHOUT a split step. Maybe it's his way of preserving his knees and ankles for the mound?
he just changed the game!!! i used to watch world boxing until SHOHEI got in to MLB i don't know much 'bout the game but i find it now so interesting!!!
The "strike three" the umpire called on Ohtani in the Seattle game yesterday was criminal. It was a foot and a half outside. It a shame when racism invades the game's officials.
Here's the updated version covering the whole season! th-cam.com/video/3dwY2U51mIM/w-d-xo.html
ohtanis hitting style is so beautiful.....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
I have no words for this. A pitcher who can smack homers out the park
Babe Ruth - why he was considered the greatest
@@istevenr he wasnt
@@istevenr list is old show me one with updated in 2021
He's #2 here...close enough. If you kept asking for this then you don't know baseball
Ok I think shoehi ohtani is the greatest of all time
From Scotland and never watched baseball in my life. But I’m all here for this
A once in one hundred years talent. Pitches over 100 mph and can swat homeruns.
Ohtani is a pitcher who makes history. I’m lucky to watch this kind of guy in my life.
My favorite HR
0:26What a nice hitting sound！
8:38Very low
10:18Far away
11:04Nice angle
coolest part of this video is watching nearly empty stands to almost full stands at the end, shows you the excitement he brings to the game.
100% ^
Also it's mainly covid restrictions being more lax
Wrong. Its time of day, the day of the week, and covid. One player doesn't bring that many fans into the stands
I think we can all agree #2 is the best sounding of all!
With headphones i replay it over and over !!!
That is a sweet sound
Smacked that mf lol
Ohhh yes 🔥
That sound on the 2nd home run 🤯
Sounds like a gunshot 😂
Right!? The sound is so good
That second HR had the sweetest sound of them all. Man I could listened to that all day long. Sheer power 🔥
Gotta add that timestamp for loop
0:27
No lie

His homers just sound different. So crisp. So pure!
The second one in this clip.. I’ve never heard anything like that.
@@jayb5139 best sound in the world, atleast for me

@@GEfromNJ Makes it crazier because now they know,he has always been a slugger too. Utterly morale breaking for a fulltime pitcher.
@@bigtomhanks12 Why only pitchers? It is equally morale breaking for a fulltime batter I suppose.
Better than the collection of home runs on the official MLB TH-cam channel.

And their pitching coaches
And Steven A Smith
Then i gave you your 60th like and now imagine he ends his season with 60 homeruns wouldnt that be cool

No bat flips just sets the bat down and runs home... so much humbleness in one man!

these are my 3 favourites too!
Opposite field over the monster wow
In 30 plus years of watching baseball I’ve never heard a ball come off a bat like the 2nd homer .
So beautiful brings tears to my eyes... #BeastMode
Ohtani must wear a D.Va "Is this easy mode?" shirt under his jersey. Love this kid!
My youtube algorithm: from NBA highlights to Shohie highlights.
I use to see baseball play on TV and skip it. Now I can't wait for the highlights of this guy.
Homer at 0:26 sounds like a cannon. And some of his swings look so violent
What a beautiful hitting…
Thanks for making this video. I really enjoyed it.
Never heard a bat crack like that on the second home run
Yeah, you hear that in a video game and you know it's gone.
That is such a perfect sound.
Yeah, watched and been to many games in the last 50 years.......if I've ever heard that before I don't remember when. I don't care what you are doing, your neck spins around looking for what made that sound.
I saw Bo Jackson years ago make that sound. Haven't heard it in 30 years
this guy is great to watch, have not followed ball for years but he makes it
fun. love his smile. BUT, it takes a lot of time to be compared to do what
the best of have done. let's just watch and see. thanks all
God is real and waiting for you.
I don't know if I've ever seen so many home runs hit that high
i actually like to see him hustle the bases on those close home runs where he can’t tell if it’s going out. dudes a winner
Great recap of home runs!!!
Thank you! I Enjoy the sound of the ball off the bat, especially HR #2.
Ohtani is incredible!!!
I’m not a baseball player.. but an opposite hit home run over the monster has got to be very difficult
❝留まるところを知らぬ躍進は何処まで行くのか❞これもまた今後の楽しみ。世界のベースボールファンの心を捉えて離さず、まるで独り占めといったところですね。
I'm worried that he'll go back to his planet next year.
We're lucky to even see one season like this in our lifetimes. If he comes back to Earth next year just be happy we even got to witness it happen
Hes a brilliant alien

How do you pitch to this guy? Low, high, inside or outside he crushes them all to all sides of the field…
I love this guy!
I personally think dat da MLB betta publish a “shohei ohtani” award after dis season.
The coaches know that sound well they know it’s gone before ever looking up
That bat speed is like nothing i've seen since King Juicer McGwire.
I’m an orioles fan and I love this guy big fan
A really bad day for Ohtani is pitching seven innings and allowing one run...and hitting a double.
Shohei stands for Superman.....love this guy...
2:05 is the greatest. Astros playing the shift and he homers left center field hahahahahaha 10/10
Like it how he gets cheers when he's on the road.
That was fun . Thanks for posting .

He is incredible!!
What a stud. Wow. I could watch him swing the bat all day.
