In a doubleheader game, the first pitcher gets a shutout, and the next DH hits two home runs. Impossible. He's a scary talent. Perfectly worthy of MVP.

[@zuldagamer1875]

Just a reminder it was Detroit before they woke up.

This was the highlight of the season, I really thought the angels were gonna make a push after this. I think we swept the Yankees too right before or after this. 😭

[@Luciodamus]

Possibly the best player in my lifetime. Glad I was able to watch him in person when he was an Angel. Congrats Shohei!

[@trevorcarey3997]

I agree, even Dusty Baker on the All Star media weekend said Ohtani is the most talented player in the history of the game, that's comming from Dusty Baker who grew up watching Willie Mays, played with Hank Aaron and managed Barry Bonds. Shohei is the Unicorn and the Goat 🐐

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@trevorcarey3997not just Dusty Baker, but Chika Takami and Yoshiko Tsushima also approve that Ohtani is the best baseball player of alltime. 👍

[@Max-qk3xi]

Lol same I’m glad I was able to see him become what he is now , and was able to see him for cheap cuz good luck to dodgers fans but y’all gonna go broke at a baseball game lmao

[@BirdGang6]

And now you’ll be able to keep watching him!

[@LABallin247]

You can come watch him a Dodgers Stadium now. Just don't bring an Angels jersey over here. Blue crew all day.

[@taze27]

Ever since Shohei Ohtani came into the league, I became a fan of Major League Baseball. He saved the game of baseball and at the same time, representing it so well with grace and humility. He is the face of baseball. His legend is being written right before our very eyes, we're lucky to be a part of it. Congratulations Shohei! ⚾️

[@surfwriter8461]

So true. Ohtani brought baseball back to life and a lot of people like you to the sport. How much is that worth to MLB? Set aside a room for just him at the Hall of Fame. Otherwise, that institution is a fraud.

[@purwantiallan5089]

This is the 2nd time Ohtani wins the MVP unanimously he's the first player in MLB history to win the award unanimously 2 times. Congratulations to the Unicorn 🦄

[@shehatesleon]

the best.

[@Shoheislife15]

Wow! Ohtani deserves to be the MVP we all saw it! Congratulations Shohei! Wow i love it!,❤❤🎉

[@youaintready1006]

I like how one baseball commentator explained it. Ohtani is already the most TALENTED player of ALL TIME. In the history of the game. Being the 'best' requires a few pennants, but that's different from the most talented. And there is no question that in terms of raw talent he is the greatest baseball player of all time.

[@jessebean13]

This guy is going to have an award named after him.

[@MegaSherlockian]

I think he is the most unanimous “greatest of all time” player any game has ever seen.

[@1racks]

[@kevinlin3367]

WBC MVP & unanimous AL MVP in a remarkable year. Unprecedented and incomparable! Congratulations, Ohtani!!

[@OuttaContrlKay]

Bro, watching his highlights, is like watching video games highlights the fact that he is doing both at a high-level is still insane to me

[@campingking9784]

8:07 The first game of the double header against the Tigers, he pitched a complete shutout game and saved the bullpen arms. In the 2nd game, he hit 2 homers as a DH. The definition of MVP!

[@colonelcallaway]

That double header against Detroit was unbelievable and legendary

[@anthonycokoye]

I never did watch Babe Ruth play baseball, but I am sure privileged to watch Shohei Ohtani play.

[@GabrielMoreira-lp8jj]

The real "Ace of Diamond"

[@DisingenuousComment]

Makes perfect sense. He's the center of Baseball right now.

[@charisseantoni7641]

Shohei introduced me to baseball. I started to get really interested in baseball because of him

[@chrisolson1167]

I don't care what either New York teams got to pay him you have to bring him to New York he's worth 500 million or close to it cuz that's what he's going to command

[@kobayashinoanickikorosita]

Ohtani is a absolutely a GOAT bro he is a Best Of BEST 大谷翔平マジで最強すぎやろw２回目のMVPおめでとう🎊！

[@andrewlai7929]

the deepest memory in 2023, first game pitch 9inings , while second game hit 2homerun, in the same day

[@EX-S7]

We're watching one of the greatest MLB history live! Congrats Shohei ✨

[@trevorcarey3997]

Gerrit Cole who won the Cy Young this year had similar record as Shohie Ohtani as pitcher last season, that's how incredible Shohei was as a pitcher in 2022. Ohtani had the same Wins last year as Cole this year, both with 15 Wins and Shohei had a better ERA 2.33 and Ks per 9 innings with 11.9 and Yankee fans like to say what if Judge was healthy all season, then what if Ohtani had a full season he would have 15 Wins and 50 HRs this season, Shohei is like Judge and Cole as one player!

[@thebadbatch1132]

This year MVP, next year (without pitching) TRIPLE CROWN 👑🏆🥇⚾

[@rks5457]

Just insane. Happy we get to witness this amazing athlete!

[@moistpeanut5986]

been watching baseball since 1995. Ohtani is the best player I have ever seen.

[@trevorcarey3997]

Ohtani has a heart ❤ of a Lion, even though he had a torn UCL and could'nt pitch he is still wanting to hit, Shohei's passion to play baseball is undeniable, other players would just sit out, but Shohei wants to give the fans the greatest Show on earth, anyone questions his love for the game should watch Shohei Ohtani play.

[@patrickorourke41]

I’m so damn happy he’s going to be wearing Dodger blue!!!

@@trevorcarey3997the fact that he’s an effective pitcher as well as an effective hitter speaks volumes as to how good this guy is! How many other players can do this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congratulations! Well deserved! Ohtani is definitely the complete package. I feel it’s been a privilege to witness this phenom in our lifetime. Thank you Sho and can’t wait for the next season!

[@forfuntime2023]

I started to watch MLB again this year because of Shohei, gave up baseball long time ago due to most baseball players that I know who think they are either elites or superstars with big shot attitude. Compared to Shohei, you can tell he plays because he loves baseball.

[@xansolskjr8628]

There's nobody better. Possibly the best all-around talent of all time.
