Remember when people were saying Ichiro’s hits from his days in Japan shouldn’t count bc Japanese pitchers aren’t good? Now they’re dominating the MLB and ppl r like “when did the Japanese get so good?” They were always good, the league just didn’t pay attention to them.
@yuumetal2363 2 different people. If we're accounting ichiro's hits from npb, he has more hits, but we don't. Ichiro was consistently hitting north of 200 every season in the mlb for 10 straight seasons, and holds the record for the most hits in a season. I'm not downplaying Pete Rose if you're thinking so. I'm only letting you know some facts.
@@MyLife-og2kr I know. The reason Ichiro got more hits in MLB than in NPB is simply because there are more games in MLB, which means that if Ichiro had come to MLB earlier, he would have gotten more hits than he did in NPB. Pete Rose likes to label Ichiro's hits in NPB as worthless, but on the contrary, it means that if Ichiro had come to the MLB earlier, he would have had even more hits. Pete Rose: “they’re trying to make me the Hit Queen. I’m not trying to take anything away from Ichiro, he’s had a Hall of Fame career, but the next thing you know, they’ll be counting his high-school hits.”
No matter how you slice it, Ichiro would be the all time hits leader if he had started his career in MLB. Period. And the competition that Ichiro faced was better than who Pete Rose faced.
He’s well known for cold start in spring even in Japan, so the first game was not surprise, it is more surprising he’s been doing so well after that game, so early
Honestly, I was one of those. I just couldn't believe that he gave up so many hits in one inning. But after listening to pitching ninja, it made sense why and how he gave up so many runs.
Japanese pitchers are dominating in MLB: Senga, Imanaga, Yamamoto, Kikuchi and Maeda! Then there's that guy plays for LA rehabbing his elbow this season - he's pretty good too.
I'd say Shohei would be the best pitcher among all these pitchers from Japan if he only focuses on pitching. He probably would have won a couple of Cy Young already.
Do you all know that the slider and cut ball that Yoshinobu Yamamoto throws are actually very good pitches? He rarely throws, but he has even more hidden skills.
The match against the Cardinals.. wow, He did not flinch a bit after the ball came back to him at more than 100mph ! He did not dodge the ball but caught it. And afterwards, what did he do ? Just increased his Ks count with the same attitude. This is why I find him impressive.
Japanese baseball players may not be as strong or big as American/Latin baseball players, but Japanese players' technique and attention-to-detail is out of this world!
Its not a stereotype...simply look at averages, is all one has to do and can see clearly that Japanese population is simply smaller than American population. Its not a negative issue, simply a factual one! Also, that's not to say ALL Japanese players are smaller, because there are many huge Japanese players that make others look tiny...like Ohtani & Fujinami. Imho, being shorter in height is an advantage in baseball & life in general, for many reasons! Btw, Japan's baseball is AWESOME & I love their fan atmosphere!💪😎👍
After seeing Yamamoto's absolute dominance in Japan, it was refreshing in a way to see him struggle with his MLB start. It was a reminder that adjusting to a different environment is that much harder. And now that he is adjusting, I look forward to watching him dominate in MLB.
Same here...drafted him early and told myself I'm not even gunna care about his first 4 games! Dudes been an absolute unit out there, cooking everybody!! Gl this season💪😎👍
I'm not saying he's not good.....time will tell. What I am saying is that I'm more likely to believe that the league will catch up to him once he has been seen by more teams and there's more film of him to watch.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto The pitching motion is beautiful. He is throwing really well
And unlike most pitchers, he doesn’t walk anybody.

実力があるのにマイナーリーグにいる選手はいないがNPBにはいる。MLBの記録としてカウント出来ないのは理解出来るが、マイナーリーグ扱いすべきではない。

He's also known to blow it in the playoffs just like the Dodgers
@@arcticredpanda4598 welp
@@arcticredpanda4598 how did it go?
A moment of silent to those who were judging yamamoto by his first two games
That first game was rough for him
Did they hide in the sewers again?😮
Honestly, I was one of those. I just couldn't believe that he gave up so many hits in one inning. But after listening to pitching ninja, it made sense why and how he gave up so many runs.
First two games? Or you mean first game?
Yeah!!💯😤💙

Don't forget Kenta Maeda.

I’d add the lethal weapon Fuji,the flame thrower.
He destroys hitters.
Then Roki’s coming next year
I'm surprised that Otani's name isn't mentioned. And Darvish too.
What beautiful pitches. The man's an artist.

Japan professional leage has 12 team. Ace pitcher of each team could be No1~3 starter of MLB team.
Facts💪😎👍
liar
In Japan, pitcher is the most valued position, from youth baseball to professional baseball.
Yamamoto is communicating with his catcher before he is throwing the ball.
Full of energy Sho
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is good at defense and pitching. He hopes to become a Dodgers legend 🙏
春先は不安定で夏以降に無双するピッチャーだと思ってたけど普通に結果残してるの凄いな
I wish I could translate😢
@@b80-s9i「Completely thought his pitching in early spring is unstable、Unrivaled after summer. But he has already produced results.」 from japan🇯🇵
Nice catcher too

The control, always around the strike zone
NPBで大谷翔平と山本由伸は一度対戦している
大谷翔平のNPBラストイヤーでの事だが、その時山本由伸は19歳高卒1年目
その時大谷翔平は空振り三振に倒れているが、その時言った言葉が「今年対戦した投手で一番」だった
それくらい突出している存在
まだまだ良くなるよ
I’m a Giants fan, this guy is no joke! Huge Threat
Japanese pitchers have been on fire so far.
You look so good Yosh
Japanese baseball players may not be as strong or big as American/Latin baseball players, but Japanese players' technique and attention-to-detail is out of this world!
Ohtani is as strong as any player in the bigs, Seiya Suzuki is powerfully built, Roki Sasaki is 6'4" & Fujinami is 6'6".
This is a age old stereotype.

Sumo wrestlers are very small. Yes. This is true
His pitching is deceptively elegant and it's difficult to tell what's coming at you. ;-) It's almost artistic?
Im getting slowly convinced that the rough start was intentional. Cause he's too dang good.
この男がこれからの10年間どんな成績を残してくれるか楽しみです
These Japanese pitchers seem to have excellent command of their pitches with well thought out location.
韓国戦の5失点が彼の闘志に火を付けた
バーンズとのコンビが最高！！ここまで15イニング無失点
You have good technique
あの登場曲がドジャースタジアムに響いてるの感慨深いな
I promise yall don’t want Yoshi Ohtani Kersh Glasnow Miller, Walker Stone and Roki pitching room😳
Are u talking about roki sasaki?
Yoshi be tryin so hard to contain the cheese on his face after a strikeout 😬
Reminiscent of Gregu Madduxsan. Which is niiiice.
People are starting to call him the Ghost Pitcher, and I’m starting to see why.

It's like watching Diamond no ace live action
As a Korean, I envy the Japanese since they have a lot of tremendous pitchers like Yamamoto
Austin Barnes!
Glad I didn’t give up on him in fantasy…
Same here...drafted him early and told myself I'm not even gunna care about his first 4 games! Dudes been an absolute unit out there, cooking everybody!! Gl this season💪😎👍

YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO🇯🇵
Also Barnes' highlight
The bag tho

Dude is nasty. In a good way.
His pitching is similar to that of a young Masumi Kuwata.
似てないよ笑笑

These umpires are terrible at calling strikes
National players need to get their eyes checked

Shota imanaga is better imo.....duude is a true professor on te mound
Calm down its been a month.
Vamo a eto coño

MLB trying their best to cover up that Othani betting scandal 👀
Ohtani is clearly proven white, ur cringe🙏💀
