How Good Is Shohei Ohtani Actually?

#mlb #baseball #shoheiohtani
With a sprint speed of 19.8 MPH, a 102 MPH fastball speed and the ability to hit a 119 MPH ball, Shohei Ohtani is considered to be the best two-way player in MLB history. His skill set in baseball rose to the top in 2021, which is considered to be the best individual season in MLB history. And what's crazy is that he's getting even better…
Born on July 5th, 1994 in Ōshū, Iwate, Japan, Ohtani grew up in a sports-oriented family. Both of his parents were athletes, with his father playing corporate league baseball and his mother playing badminton. He attended Hanamaki Higashi High School in Japan's Iwate Prefecture.

Hey Everyone! I missed the Giants logo in review, it was late at night, please don't roast me on that 😂 If you have any constructive criticism, please leave it below! Looking to get better with every video!

He can play quarterback for the Giants LOL 2:56

I’m surprised the Jets didn’t go after ohtani

[@wizonetd0822]

at around 8:00 his first season with more then 10 wins and 30+ homeruns was in the 2022 season not 2021. in 2021 he had 9 wins as a pitcher. so for your next video please double check player's stats.

I don't think the question is whether he makes the HoF or not, he's definitely getting in, it's if the voters decide to make him unanimous😂

[@TheBlackWaltz]

I think he makes it in just for 21-23. While certainly not the craziest stretch for pitching or hitting, it is lilely the greatest all around three year performance in baseball history. 28.6 bwar in a 3 year span is crazy. The records he has broken and set, the insane feats he has accomplished. Its one of the few short years that entirely deserves recognition in the hall of fame.

[@robertaBooey69]

Being Japanese helped because here we make a guy pick one or the other. Guys like Freddie freeman were pitchers growing up but mlb picks which he would succeed at and tries him only there. Few instances where there were converter from field to batter or vice versa. Kenley from catcher to pitcher and ankiel from pitcher to hitter. Are just a few changed sides.

[@campingking9784]

Even now that the league is opening up to the 2-way players, I doubt we’ll see anybody like Ohtani in the next decades. He is just a different breed.

Greatest Athelete

[@wabio]

What amazes me most about Ohtani is he makes you think nothing in pro baseball is impossible......and I'm not just talking about being an All-Star caliber hitter AND pitcher. For instance, in 2022 he was giving opposing hitters fits and racking up strikeouts with a devastating slider and nasty splitter. So you expect in 2023 he would improve on those pitches right? Wrong. Instead he moved away from using those two pitches and started throwing insane sinkers and crazy sweepers. I mean what other pitcher does this? And to top it off......all his pitches are B+ grade or higher. I don't think he has any sub-quality pitches in his repertoire.

Ohtani is pretty good

[@stvinney]

2 Tommy John's in 6 years... You know there were a lot of incredible pitchers that had to give it up because they were offensive power houses Ill bet we missed out on at least one other Ohtani because that's baseball today and has been for nearly a century But if you can only pitch for like 4-5 seasons, unless You're Pedro from the turn of the century, is it really worth it?

[@BraxtonMeyer]

did you use ai to generate graphics here. because why else would one say is he is worth it... and the ny giants logo. if you want to that's fine but I feel this should require a disclosure

I agree that you need to get better ! When you showed the 3 teams that wanted him when he came to the majors , you got the Dodgers logo right and Angel's right also but for NY you put the logo for NFL for New York Giants lmfao ... which I thought was funny , but don't take people's comments to heart .. see it as fuel to make your videos better bro.... gl

[@bayareaaa]

Without watching the video, I know the answer is already “Yes.” Reason is because most people who may think “no” are seeing it through a subjective lens and asking if Ohtani is “worth it” to THEM. Bottom line: YES he's worth it to the LA Dodgers. Their corporate retail analysts already ran the numbers. Even if they don't win a championship as long as Ohtani is active the total revenue Ohtani brings in with merchandise sales alone (we're talking GLOBAL sales) will pay for the $700M itself in a short time. That's not even including ticket sales and every other type of lucrative partnerships Ohtani's gravity pulls in. Shohei Ohtani's true "value" is really in Billion range when it's all said and done and the receipts are tallied. So yeah, Dodgers can afford him.

I like your video but at 11:20 you said something that doesn't make sense. It isn't possible for Ohtani to break Judge's 62 HR record because it's an AL record and Ohtani plays in the NL where the record is 73 HR by Bonds. Even if you don't count Bonds' record because of steroid usage, it's impossible for Ohtani to break Judge's AL record.
