See all 22 of Shohei Ohtani's homers from 2018

[@perpetual61]

I would like to say a Big THANK YOU To the Country and People of Japan. For letting Shohei Ohtani play in the USA and the Angels Organization. He made the 2018 MLB Season a Memorable and Exciting one for all of Baseball it's Fans.

[@noriyukitakano2366]

Thanks to the country where baseball game was invented!

[@gogogo8246]

Thank you very much for letting so many Japanese players play in MLB since debut of Nomo back in 1995. Ohtani is the special one for sure, and Japanese fans miss him a lot, but we enjoy watching his challenge in the best league of the world through TV.

[@mk-vi5mx]

Let me translate your comment so that all Japanese people can understand your sweet comment. Perpetual61さんのコメントは日本のファンへの謝意です。 以下意訳で簡単にですが訳です 「私は日本と日本の皆さんに大きな感謝をお伝えしたいです。 大谷翔平をアメリカで、エンゼルスでプレイさせてくれた事に対して。 彼はメジャーリーグの2018年のシーズンを、 全ての野球ファンにとって記憶に残るエキサイティングなものにしてくれました。」

[@mk-vi5mx]

...And I would like to thank to MLB and all fans. You are treat him equally to other American players and give Shohei warm welcome. Seeing your support to him made all Japanese fans happy for sure. As Shohei said himself that he is not yet complete as a player and have a lot of room for improvements. Because of his great MLB experiences this year, He will be back as a better player next year. Let’s enjoy watching his journey together.

Shohei's double outstanding performances thus got him the full 30 votes of AL MVP.

I love how Trout is almost always the first to greet him at the dugout after a dinger.

[@ひろぽん-c9x]

I love Gameing from Japan👍 I think Trout was the key for Ohtani’s batting success. Having the most greatest hitter in the world on the same team, and watch him play was a great experience for Ohtani.(not just hitting but Trout’s personality is great)

22 homers, 15 hit to either left, left center, or straight away center. He's just a kid, folks. Wait until this guy grows up!

[@erics8018]

I fear his pitching could severly impact his hitting potential.. As far as overall numbers he could put up. I hope im wrong though. Id like to see him do both. Hes already proven at a young age and in not many games... And being banged up hit 22 homers in his rookie year. If he gave up pitching hes a 28-50homerun a year guy

[@takac9010]

Hideki Kuriyama, shohei`s manager of the previous team, let him to do two-way when he entered the team. so, we must thank him.

[@ssf4442]

At first Ohtani wanted to challenge the Major league just after high school, but Kuriyama and Nippon Ham Fighters persuaded Ohtani with their special plan to train him as a two-way player and let him goes to the major league. At that time most of the major league scouts already noticed Ohtani talent, but not as a two-way player but as only a picher because that time they thought his piching skill and potential were much more impressive than batting. That's one reason that Nippon Ham Fighters let Ohtani play the Major league before he can get FA right in one-two years.

[@deamn46]

I am Japanese. I have heard of him, but I am proud as I am. The Japanese think that Major League is very great. He said that he was very happy to be there and left for Japan. I think that warmly fans, stadiums and teams not in Japanese baseball have pushed him. Major League is fantastic. Thank you!
