This guy is what all athletes should aspire to be. He is not only at the top of his game in his sport, but he is also kind and humble. It proves that the two qualities are not mutually exclusive.
We were all taught to be this way in Asia as children. Unfortunately most of the time this personality works at our disadvantage, especially when moving to a western country.
@@willxiahan364I’m just so shocked at how respectful Asians out it’s just a very different experience. But unfortunately I’m the west we don’t care about respect and it makes us worse
@@purestofsouls it really is a disadvantage in the west. In the east/asian countries being kind and humble works, but in the west it will get you disrespected and looked at as weak lol
@@kylemiller2781 Asians are very kind but it only works in the east, being kind and respectful in the west makes you seem weak and will get you disrespected.
Shohei picks up trashes as he believes each trash is a luck other people threw away. We’d better start doing that so the world will be a better place.💕❤️
That's a nice way to put it but it's more like karma. He believes the more good you do, the more good will come back to you. And it sometimes just take that last bit of luck to win.
...and for all children and young people too. On top of being an extraordinary, talented baseball player, Shoei is also such a remarkable young man with a wonderful personality and a heart of gold. He has definitely won our admiration and adoration. 👏👍💕
According to Japanese news, Ohtani's family has never touched his money. Even when Ohtani offered to rebuild his family home, his parents said, "We're still healthy, and the house isn't that old, so that's not how you should spend your money. Save it properly." His mother still works part-time, and their lifestyle hasn't changed at all from old days. When his mentor and sister got married, Ohtani tried to give them a big gift, but they didn't accept it. Ohtani himself doesn't spend money on anything other than baseball; it's clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
some people probably think Ohtani picking up litter in the dugout and on the field is a bit obsessive, but elementary schools in Japan have no janitors - the children do ALL the cleaning in the school including the washrooms. Japanese kids are taught very young to take responsibility and not expect others to clean up for them or after them. Look at the streets in Japanese towns and cities - they are as clean as an indoor mall, not even a speck of trash or litter anywhere.
The universe is on his side. He set a very difficult goal that many thought was impossible and did everything he can to put himself in position to succeed.
WHAT DOES THIS GUY NOT HAVE/DO??? ONCE IN A CENTURY TWO WAY TALENT, HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, STORYBOOK JOURNEY TO THE PROS, HANDSOME LOOKS, BOYISH FACE, KIND PERSONALITY, IS A GENTLEMAN, IS AN AMAZING TEAMMATE, AND HE EVEN DONATES HIS EARNINGS TO THE ANGELS STAFF??? HOW CAN ONE PERSON BE SO GREAT AT 27 YEARS OLD???
MVP is not enough, give this guy the sportsperson of the year award. I still think Freddie Freeman is more "friendly," but Shohei Ohtani is just amazing and i love the guy
💗😍😘😍💗😘 Ugh! I can't with such inner & outer beauty. Ohtani singing is adorable,. Hes so down to earth,, humbled & dedicated....Beautiful spirit.. He does it all...Handsome Samurai. 💞
Not trash. The shrapnel from the bat. As for cleaning up, Japan is the cleanest country I’ve ever been to. You can’t even find a garbage can, yet it’s spotless. People just carry their trash with them til they get home. And then they have those onsen and public bathhouses with mineral hot springs. I’d soak in one every day if I could.
This guy is definitely from another world! Hope he can keep his enthusiasm and exuberance as his career unfolds. It's not going to all be rosy and filled with success
That chair thing was so refreshing to see. Elementary school kids are taught to push their chairs back under the desk (or however they found it) after using it. By the middle of first grade it's almost automatic for them and they carry this up to adulthood. So nice to see Shohei instinctively put the swivel chair back in place after his interview. 😀
Most Japanese baseball players are just as polite and kind as Ohtani. Actually, most Japanese people are like this. I say this not to diminish or dismiss his kindness and friendliness. He is extremely personable and humble. He is a joy to watch play and I wish him only the best success.
He picks up trash not necessary for the ground crew. It just makes him feel good to keep his surrounding clean. How can I say that? Because I'm Japanese too.
Yea japan you rarely see trash on the floor. They even carrry little ash trays so they dont ash on the floor. Not saying some dont but their streets are pretty clean
I heard from a Japanese friend that.... when Shohei was in Japanese Little League, his teammates and their parents had only seen eating and sleeping, other than his baseball practice. Even during the summer practice camp, even if the kids were making loud noise until midnight, he never woke up until morning once he slept.
Priorities. Jk Training non-stop are prone to injuries. Having a well rested body gives you ump for another day. Once injured all the hardwork will go down the drain.
I’m Japanese and these comments are making me cry. I’ve never heard Japanese people praises for Japanese. When we talk about us we always compare ourselves with people from another culture and say like “Japanese are too serious” “we should be more like people outside of Japan” “that is too Japanese (it’s usually used as a bad meaning, like too honest or too thoughtful)” etc. but seeing people outside of Japan saying something so nice about Japanese culture is really touching and makes me realized that we can proud of our culture little bit more.
I work in tech and every single Japanese person I have dealt with has been nothing but amazing. The attitude and compassion for others is great. I literally told my wife last week that we should plan a trip to Japan to see more about the culture and people.
Please be proud of your culture! There are many worldwide who envy Japan’s cleanliness, safety, lack of crime, safe and reliable public transit including your train system, proper respectfulness to one another, strong work ethic and perseverance. How everybody is proud of their job and do their job to the best of their ability. I have hardly ever met an arrogant Japanese person as I think your culture does not encourage that type of attribute. Japanese people abroad are very much respected by others. I would love to visit Japan one day! Although you have such a large population in such a small land area, you still have beautiful nature areas. It seems to me that the environment is treated with respect in Japan. One of the most obvious compliments I can pay is how high tech Japan is. And I haven’t even started to talk about the food yet! You must have very high standards for each other in your culture and maybe that is where the criticism comes from. It’s possible to offer constructive criticism while at the same time acknowledging the positive characteristics of the person or the situation. Best wishes! 😃🙏🌸⚾️
I don’t care what team you root for - if you don’t like Sho, you must not like baseball or purely good people. I would hope that this is every kid’s role model.
His personality makes him an even bigger star.
How is he a bigger star baseball don't even market this dude

Ohtani and J.Rod will be the BEST tandem personalities in baseball. Sho-Time Ohtani to Seattle LETS GOOO!!!……
He is literally one of the angels in this world.
Showtime
This is what I call a full package = tall, big, strong, talented, humble, pleasant, down-to-earth and needless to say, handsome!
Baseball is so lucky to have this guy. He makes Baseball great again.
He’s such a dreamboat 😍

Shohei Ohtani, the angel of the Angels

Ohh thank you for this news, I will check it out👍🏻
He carries the japanese attitude of following culture being as polite,friendly, disciplined and environmentally clean.
His humility, his modesty and the respectful way he treats everyone, teammates and rivals, make him even greater than he is as a player.
It’s just apart of the Japanese culture
Also the respect he shows to the field and the dugout....pretty much his whole surroundings is amazing!
HIM SINGING DESPACITO IS SO CUTEEE
Such a handsom and tall..perfect

I wish kids in the US had the same training
Shohei said that picking up trash means picking up luck.
Smiles make you smile and bring you happiness.
He's such an adorable fluff ball when he smiles
Loved all the moments he’s such a sweet person
The angel of Angels!!!
The small gesture of picking up 'litters' tells a lot about how he was raised.
The universe is on his side. He set a very difficult goal that many thought was impossible and did everything he can to put himself in position to succeed.
Shohei Ohtani is legit like clark Kent. Handsome Superman

Betty Draper?
Skills aside, he is a very likable guy. He’s good for the sport, and for that I’m glad
Most Japanese imports (Ichiro, Matsui, Tanaka, Darvish, Hrabu) were kind, respectful, humble and stayed out of trouble.
Awesome athlete, good looking, and a super nice guy...baseball is lucky.
This man deserves all the good in the world. Such a fabulous sportsman. Such a wonderful man.
I absolutely love this kid man, he is ridiculously (historically) good and has a great head on his shoulders. He's a breath of fresh air for baseball

Japanese culture, they always cleanup. It's ingrained in them since childhood. Japan is one of the most cleanest countries you'll ever visit.
No lie here. I said this on another comment. But they carry small ash trays so they dont ash on floor. Crazy.
I saw him live today!! He treats absolutely everyone with respect.
His cleanliness. When you see him picking up trash just because he knows it's the right thing to do! I really applaud that.

Ohtani is too nice man...
A very humble guy, very likeable.
Shohei is so chill. He love baseball very much but an excellent human too for life
Yep. It makes sense. He has the "clean gene" that keeps Japan so immaculate.
He is doing everything best . I love baseball because of Ohtani 大谷翔平
great singing voice. added some flair in there for sure.
I love this man
RESPECT. What an awesome human being.
This guy is definitely from another world! Hope he can keep his enthusiasm and exuberance as his career unfolds. It's not going to all be rosy and filled with success
Why did I find this clips!? Now I like... I mean I love him even more! 😭😍
I love him. Although I don't play baseball I see him as an inspiration as an athlete
THIS, is how to be a role model. Great dude/great player.
True legend,all best Ohtani
Shohei singing OMG🥰🥰🥰🥰
He’s like that super nice and popular friend that always has your back
Angel!

What a class act,.
Champion both at baseball and personality wise
He's not even making superstar money and he appreciates that he is still making enough that he can give the derby earnings to staffers.
Him singing Despacito with the angel team makes me happy cause I’m a angels fan all my life
I like Ohtani, it’s obvious was taught respect and it shows.
Handsome
That respect that is taught in Japanese culture. ❤
he's so cute lol
He is a great role model, giving kids a notion that picking up rubbish is a cool thing to do.
he is the little brother to all in baseball........he just happens to be better than them
This man is very marketable. I hope he gets a lot more endorsements.

MVP off the pitch as well☀️🔥
Dude is literally picking up trash for the grounds crew ... We need this Man/aspect of Japan to be a part of American Society.
He picks up trash not necessary for the ground crew. It just makes him feel good to keep his surrounding clean. How can I say that? Because I'm Japanese too.
I've been a Japanese dude for several decades and my room has been a mess for my entire life.

@@toolsmith4003 same here what`s wrong with me? lol
Shohei Ohtani is such a Role Model.
How can you not like the guy
You can hate the angels but love Ohtahni. Who doesn’t love him.
Even he is a good singer!
the classiest
I can’t get enough of SHOTANI❤
He is a Japanese, in all his ways...picking up litters and puts in his pocket, and humbleness at its finest ❤❤❤❤
I heard from a Japanese friend that....

Training non-stop are prone to injuries. Having a well rested body gives you ump for another day. Once injured all the hardwork will go down the drain.
Most down to earth superstar - his Japanese culture a lot to do with it
I wanna cry hearing he gave 150K to the angels staff, man.
heart of gold 💛
On that shot back from Meadows, and Ohtani smiling and apologizing. Meadows was asking "You're a cyborg, aren't you?"
Love this star
Omg him and trout is the best
How can you dislike him u can’t he is just a nice dude
一平さんと大谷選手は健康で野球を楽しんで、長生きして欲しい。

You must have very high standards for each other in your culture and maybe that is where the criticism comes from. It’s possible to offer constructive criticism while at the same time acknowledging the positive characteristics of the person or the situation.
Best wishes! 😃🙏🌸⚾️
him picking up trash. prime example of doing good things even if nobody is looking
listen America, if you become a baseball player...be humble like Ohtani....
大谷選手がチームメイトと仲良くしてるのが見れるのは嬉しい😊いい仲間に出会って楽しそう！
Ohtani proves that nice guys don't always finish last.
lol, Mike called him Shotani! Thank you for sharing!
Could you imagine him and freeman in the same room?
にこにこが止まらない。
こんな人になりたい。
People tend to mistake friendly and nice with being Humble and strong at the same time.
Nobody messes with Ohtani!!
Es un gran tipo.
Shohei is no doubt a sure-fire 1st ballot Hall of Famer
I don’t care what team you root for - if you don’t like Sho, you must not like baseball or purely good people. I would hope that this is every kid’s role model.
We finally found something Shohei can't do...sing...but, I bet he masters it by the end of the year and wins a Grammy too.
大谷さんの歌声なんて貴重ですね✨ありがとうございます😊

Soooooo cute
Dude give his paycheck to the staff, he’s literally on some Keanu Reaves Vibe.
I just love how the Despacito clip was filmed on a microwave, it makes it feel just a bit more candid.
