I was at the game - bro everytime he stepped up to the plate - the crowd went nuts . Those home runs , stolen bases man 6 for 6 10rbi all from one person . Dude it was sick
Miami Marlins fans, players, staff, especially Skip Schumaker... Thank you for elevating the game of baseball yesterday!!! Can't say this enough!!! Class acts all around!!! I recommend watching "Shohei Ohtani Babe Ruth Commercial". Its beautiful!
I feel so fortuitous to watch a one of a kind player in making baseball history. Thanks to Shohei for bringing me back to baseball. LA Dodgers vs NY Yankees would be a fantastic World series this fall.
@@AP-lf6qs There have only been 18 four-homerun games in MLB history. Hitting for the cycle has been done 348. So the four-homerun game mark is more rare by an order of magnitude. But we can also note that it would have erased one of his stolen bases if the ball had gone over the fence.
The biggest part of Baseball is power and speed to be great, rather it's a power pitcher that throws a 100 mph slider or a batter that hits homeruns and can run and steal bases, Ohtani can do both of that better than anyone, that's why he's the Goat 🐐
Last time someone was talking about the greates day in the history of baseball, was when Ohtani threw that shutout in the first game of the day, then hit two bombs in the second one. It's always Ohtani.
That was my all time best player performance in a game I have ever seen. This is my all time best offensive player performance I have ever seen. Both mind blowing. Thank you Shohei!
The cycle doesn’t really mean much lol Would you rather hit four home runs, or hit for the cycle? You’re on crack if you pick the cycle Would you rather hit two home runs and two doubles, or hit for the cycle? You’d better not pick the cycle
@@ifbfmto9338I mean, sure maybe Ohtani and the Dodgers might prefer he hit 4 HR/2 doubles/1 single and not 3 HR and a cycle, but the latter would be arguably an even more miraculous feat. Cycles happen about as frequently as no-hitters - adding one of those to the pile of Ohtani’s achievements in this game might have some people questioning if it was staged.
Ripken Jrs record is something that is never gonna be touched. That’s a career accomplishment beyond accomplishments. He showed up to work every single day and his consecutive games played record is something legendary.
This was the greatest offensive performance in a single game ever. It has some competition, such as the game in may of 2012 where Josh Hamilton of the Rangers went 5-5 with 4 HR and 8 RBI and hit a double for 18 total bases. However, that was a meaningless game for Josh and the Rangers in mid may. Ohtani was doing this in a game that clinched his team a playoff spot. He did this 10 RBI game with 2 steals and got to 51 steals and HR's for the season with it. Given the pressure, and given the significance of the game to his team, this was the greatest single game performance .
Usually this kind of over the top hyperbole with "best game ever" etc annoys me but what Shohei pulled off is legitimately insane. It's one thing for Ohtani to have a 50/50 season. It's quite another if he manages to do it by hitting say 1 HR in a game to get to 50 HR's and perhaps a SB in another game to get to 50 SB. Instead he went 6/6 with 3 HR and 2SB's and he also hit a double that came very close to being a HR. He nearly hit 4 homers, he also nearly hit for the cycle, he came close to getting a triple one play. No player in baseball history has ever hit 3HR and gotten 2SB in one game before. And he did it on the game that he became the first player in baseball history to reach 50/50 All of that is insane on its own but he also broke the Dodgers single game RBI record in the game with 10 RBI's! And he also broke Shawn Green's all time Dodgers single season HR record yesterday with his 50th. To call it a "record setting day" for him is a hilarious understatement. He didn't just break records, he obliterated them in unbelievable fashion.
I agree 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.
If you could have 26 Ohtanis on a team, they beat 26 version of any other player in history. He's a Unicorn Goat chimera. Perfect Baseball Player. I've never seen anything like him. I've been watching baseball since the '80s. G.O.A.T.
Yeah but, if you picked say, 10 Barry Bonds, and 16 of whoever you think the best pitcher in history is, they’d beat the 26 Shohei team handily Virtually no position players also pitch at a high level, so even if Shohei was considerably worse, a 26 Shohei team would still be the best choice for that type of team
@@ifbfmto9338 exactly, you would need 2 players. Nobody would beat a team of Shoheis, just like a team of Michael Jordans would beat 12 versions of any other player. Magic might be 2nd. It's the best way to see who is the true G.O.A.T.
@@ifbfmto9338 I don't know. If it's Shohei Ohtani from 2022, he might beat anyone. He was 15-9 on the mound, but in 7 of his losses he gave up 2 earned runs or less. I'm not convinced Ohtani couldn't hold his own against Bonds.
@@yamamancha if they played an MLB season, Team Barry would quit, he'd never get Shohei out lol. If you picked a a great pitcher, Team Shohei would end the season with the 1st 0.00 ERA 🤣
I'm convinced he's the greatest athlete in pro team sports. The other GOATS have contemporaries that can come close to them but there's nobody in baseball that can hit, run and pitch anywhere near his level.
Not Gretzky. Nobody in hockey has ever come anywhere near his records. One guy is getting close to his total goals for career but that's about it. I saw some guy post that if Gretzky had a batting average it would be .472 Othani might get there by the end of his career but right now 99 is still, by far the greatest team athlete of all time in terms of the gap between him and every other player in history.
@@doublestrokeroll those are accumulated stats. But there have been players that come close to his performances on a season to season basis. There is no mlb player that can do close to what Ohtani does. His closest peer as a hitter can't come close to his pitching and vice versa
Bo Jackson had his power, twice his speed, and better arm strenth. I have yet to see this guy throw anyone out. Lets see Ohtani moonlight for a weekend or two in the National Football League. After he's torn to Sushi bits, come back and tell us how hes the greatest athlete. He AINT NO BO baby!
@@MyBinaryBiz Bo never hit close to as many home runs. Not close in steals either. not close to his batting average. Ohtani is DH so yeah he's not throwing people out lol. But when he's not dh, he's an ace pitcher that can throw 100+mph while striking out 11k/9ip. Bo is a one of a kind athlete so no disrespect to him but Ohtanis accomplishments are far greater.
Me as a dominicano 🇩🇴🇩🇴with so so many great players from Sammy Sosa , alex Rodriguez big papi Pedro ,Soriano Moises ,la cocoa Cruz. And 1000 more I said. Shohei ohtani is not normal. He’s one of the best the I ever see🫡
@@fabianavalos1386if he wants to, surely you don’t think with his speed, arm strength and baseball instincts, he could be a above average or really doesn’t surprise anyone, a gold glove outfielder?
Growing up in Japan in my early years and seeing how good the Japanese were at baseball was amazing. They never had the power and strength like MLB players, so yes Ohtani is one of a kind. It’s great to see sports bring everyone together.
Baseball is the hardest sport in America, that is why there are so few that are able to reach the top top of baseball. Many just avoid the sport because it requires enormous skills
Forget all the little records, categories he put in place .. the one that impresses me the most is he hit a DODGERS franchise record in home runs .. and in his first season. Oh and his bread and butter isn't really considered being a "hitter". Crazy. The lengthy history of the Dodgers club is storied way before he was even born but he just gets signed and takes the HR record with ease.
Hitting off a position player is many times MORE DIFFICULT than a pitcher, simply because their balls are completely out of control or whimsy in the way the loose the rhythm. That’s why majority of hitters cannot hit off a pp.
The biggest part of Baseball is power and speed to be great, rather it's a power pitcher that throws a 100 mph slider or a batter that hits homeruns and can run and steal bases, Ohtani can do both of that better than anyone, that's why he's the Goat 🐐
Babe Ruth has always remained the greatest player for me. Arguments could be made for others, sure, but the Babe was still #1 in my gut. Sho is seriously making me question this. If he wins a World Series where he pitches and hits, then there is no question.
“When he’s healthy,” when talking about his pitching status. I don’t think we really stop to think what he just said. If you take a moment to ponder on that statement, it just makes Ohtani that much more unbelievable. How else can you describe him not pitching when he’s clearly a superhuman? I think they should just say he decided not to pitch this year to be spend more time with his dog. 😂 incredible
Everyone is forgetting. He missed adding a cycle to that day by about 2 strides. Then went 3 for 4 the next day with maybe the craziest bomb he’s hit this yr-it was at his shoulders and another SB. Then the next day he was 1 for 2 with 2 BB’s and another stolen base. Then today(Sunday) he went 4-5 with 2 more SB’s a bomb in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and set up Mookie to walk it off with a bomb. I think he’s 14 for his last 16 with 5 bombs 4SB’s 15RBI. His obp the last 17 games is over .500. It’s too bad our staff is once again in shambles. But we’ve had some decent progress from Walker. Gonsolin will be back. And JFlahr and Yoshi are a great top 2. We’ll see. Just glad Sho will get some post season experience, and who knows? Maybe the offense just goes ahead and averages 10 a game in the post season. They might have to.
At 01:40 to around 01:51 watch #17 on the mound going through his windup. Is it just me, or is he serving up gopher balls? Thats how you pitch during batting practice.
Try harder..😂 discredit anything Ohtani does is such loser and pathetic one at that. Position players are HARDER to hit many times because of their uncontrolled balls and whimsy trajectories. That’s why many cannot hit them nor make HR out of those wimpy balls.
Shohei definitely the best player of this generation. I have to disagree with the comment from Olney about the greatest record in sports. To me, 56 game hitting streak will always be the greatest record. Call it slight bias as a Yankee fan. In the current game of 5 strong from a starter, an opener, and then every reliever throwing 99+ with filthy movement, I do not see another player getting close to that 56 game hitting streak. The sports media starts getting antsy when a player gets to 20-25, and those aren't even halfway there. All that said, keep up the majestic career, Shohei Ohtani!
He's on an absolute tear, and clearly the most complete player we've ever witnessed, but he still needs a lot more numbers to even start having 'the greatest' discussion. Also, Willie Mays > Babe Ruth.
Babe ruth: 714 HR; .342 AVG; 94-46 over 5 years as a pitcher with 2.28 ERA and 107 complete games. Shohei had the best day ever and set a record that will never be beat. The greatest of his era, but IMO not YET the GOAT
Babe Ruth didn’t play against the best players in the world. he played only against white people. This is not to take anything away from babe Ruth just making a point.
i beg to differ... against the Royals in '22, He threw 8 scoreless innings with 13K's... went 3-3, 2HR's, 8RBI's... That might be a better day in MLB history imo.
To reach 40-40 is rare and hard enough but 50-50 you got to have incredible power and speed (that's an all around player) some like Judge has power but no speed, Dal la Cruz has speed but average power, Acuna has speed but 40 is his limit (he was'nt going to get another 40-40 this year, before Acuna got hurt sliding on May 28 he was hitting only .250 with 5 homeruns and 8 steals) the 50-50 mark will stand for a long time.
Performances like that, on top of the record-breaking contract, will inspire the next generation of baseball players & attract top athletic talent to the sport, away from football & basketball.
Every once in a while, an athlete comes along that doesn’t just have talent, isn’t just likable, but also has that “magic”.. I think all-time rankings come after the completion of a career - gotta respect the players who did it year in and year out for a decade+.. but he’s all-time *special* already.. almost like a fictional character.. if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you might not believe it.. he’s got the whole sport on his shoulders..
ESPN still not letting the public know that they falsely reported Ippei (interpreter) report as truth. But then making bank on the back end with Ohtani’s greatness
I was at the game - bro everytime he stepped up to the plate - the crowd went nuts . Those home runs , stolen bases man 6 for 6 10rbi all from one person . Dude it was sick

@@timmyg831Lol
His first hit was this 🤏🏾 close to being a HR too. Insane.

56SB (Ichiro, 2001, Mariners)
The Yomiuri Giants aren’t a major league team, no offense
What do the Yomiuri Giants have anything to do with the MLB?
Both are within reach. If he keeps his foot on the pedal and stays locked in, even with only a few games left, he can do it. Crazy!

Everyone is forgetting. He missed adding a cycle to that day by about 2 strides. Then went 3 for 4 the next day with maybe the craziest bomb he’s hit this yr-it was at his shoulders and another SB. Then the next day he was 1 for 2 with 2 BB’s and another stolen base. Then today(Sunday) he went 4-5 with 2 more SB’s a bomb in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and set up Mookie to walk it off with a bomb.
I think he’s 14 for his last 16 with 5 bombs 4SB’s 15RBI. His obp the last 17 games is over .500. It’s too bad our staff is once again in shambles. But we’ve had some decent progress from Walker. Gonsolin will be back. And JFlahr and Yoshi are a great top 2. We’ll see. Just glad Sho will get some post season experience, and who knows? Maybe the offense just goes ahead and averages 10 a game in the post season. They might have to.
52/52 as of yesterday. He's now approaching 55/55, extra step for final 60/60??😱
He didn't just hit a home run dude smoked all 3 balls holy cow this guy is another planet plan and simple truly the best in the game not even close
This is TRUE futanari at its finest.
60-60 is insane just to even think about.....
Already a hall of famer and hes no where close to done.
Half a shohei is still mvp
At 01:40 to around 01:51 watch #17 on the mound going through his windup. Is it just me, or is he serving up gopher balls? Thats how you pitch during batting practice.
Try harder..😂 discredit anything Ohtani does is such loser and pathetic one at that.
Position players are HARDER to hit many times because of their uncontrolled balls and whimsy trajectories. That’s why many cannot hit them nor make HR out of those wimpy balls.
Shohei definitely the best player of this generation. I have to disagree with the comment from Olney about the greatest record in sports. To me, 56 game hitting streak will always be the greatest record. Call it slight bias as a Yankee fan. In the current game of 5 strong from a starter, an opener, and then every reliever throwing 99+ with filthy movement, I do not see another player getting close to that 56 game hitting streak. The sports media starts getting antsy when a player gets to 20-25, and those aren't even halfway there. All that said, keep up the majestic career, Shohei Ohtani!
He's on an absolute tear, and clearly the most complete player we've ever witnessed, but he still needs a lot more numbers to even start having 'the greatest' discussion.
Also, Willie Mays > Babe Ruth.
He also broke the record yesterday for most RBI in a single season by a Japanese player.
Babe ruth: 714 HR; .342 AVG; 94-46 over 5 years as a pitcher with 2.28 ERA and 107 complete games. Shohei had the best day ever and set a record that will never be beat. The greatest of his era, but IMO not YET the GOAT
Great points.
Babe Ruth didn’t play against the best players in the world. he played only against white people. This is not to take anything away from babe Ruth just making a point.
i beg to differ... against the Royals in '22, He threw 8 scoreless innings with 13K's... went 3-3, 2HR's, 8RBI's... That might be a better day in MLB history imo.
Subarashi Ohtani sama. Arigato.
He went 6 for 6. Unreal.
To reach 40-40 is rare and hard enough but 50-50 you got to have incredible power and speed (that's an all around player) some like Judge has power but no speed, Dal la Cruz has speed but average power, Acuna has speed but 40 is his limit (he was'nt going to get another 40-40 this year, before Acuna got hurt sliding on May 28 he was hitting only .250 with 5 homeruns and 8 steals) the 50-50 mark will stand for a long time.
Performances like that, on top of the record-breaking contract, will inspire the next generation of baseball players & attract top athletic talent to the sport, away from football & basketball.
We’ve been able to watch Brady, Bron, Steph, Tiger, Pat and now Shohei. We are spoiled
U forgot Federer, Nadal, joker, Serena Williams, Messi ,Ronaldo, bolt. We are definitely spoilt.
By far
"Greatest feat in baseball history."
The ghost of Johnny VanDer Meer scowls.
How did the 3rd baseman not tag him out on that replay?
Hell, go for 60 60
if you ask the mets fans they say lindor is the greatest of all time because he is having the greatest season ever lol
Asians have become the absolute best baseball plays in MLB and the world. 👏
It’s official Shohei is the Michael Jordan of baseball!
Shohei should just pull a reverse michael joran and go play basketball for a few seasons. what cant this guy do man
He could be a volleyball player caz he can jump high. Also he is a good swimmer,too. He is good at any sports except golf.
Every once in a while, an athlete comes along that doesn’t just have talent, isn’t just likable, but also has that “magic”.. I think all-time rankings come after the completion of a career - gotta respect the players who did it year in and year out for a decade+.. but he’s all-time *special* already.. almost like a fictional character.. if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you might not believe it.. he’s got the whole sport on his shoulders..
ESPN still not letting the public know that they falsely reported Ippei (interpreter) report as truth. But then making bank on the back end with Ohtani’s greatness
True 😊
When the other team lets u get that stat is crazy.
Geez Rich, the seasons not over yet. There’s more to come. Haha
