Shohei Ohtani's 2021 season was unlike anything we've ever seen (2021 Season Highlights)

[@pumpkinhill4570]

This is just his strikeouts and home runs. Dude also legs out doubles and triples like nobody else, steals bases like a natural thief, fields the mound expertly, and has amazing baseball IQ. Oh and he's also the nicest guy in baseball that gets along with everyone, always has a smile, stops to pick up trash and tidy up the on-deck circle, is always having fun and just loves the game. The most respectful, kind, and sincere player you can imagine. Plus he's pretty easy on the eyes.

I gave up my life and tried to quit everything. I gave up my dream without getting help from my parents due to economic problems. At one point, I was chasing money, but at one point, I suffered from depression as my health deteriorated due to work addiction, and I gave up my life and tried to quit everything. I fell in love with Shohei Otani's game and went to bed early and woke up early to watch the game. I watched the game even if there was a time difference of 13 to 16 hours. I want to build a healthy body someday, so I'm managing my diet while exercising. Over the past three months, I've changed like this and my depression has improved a lot. This hospital is said to have improved a lot to stop taking medicine. Thanks to Shohei Ohtani, I took care of my health and had a new dream. Thank you so much.

As impressive as this video is, it only shows 2 aspects of his game. He's not just an elite home run slugger and elite pitcher. He also has elite speed, steals tons of bases, rips doubles and triples on the regular, is a great heads-up instinctive baserunner, can play outfield, scores tons of runs, draws boatloads of walks, can bunt for singles, ALWAYS runs hard to first (and often gets infield singles because of it), fields and covers first as well as any pitcher, has insane work ethic and focus, is a great teammate, a fiery competitor yet always smiling and gracious, and has single-handedly given baseball it's first net positive bump in popularity in a long time. We waited 3 years to see a healthy, no-restrictions Shohei unleashed upon MLB, and it finally happened this season. And oh, what a season!

[@ar63naqw]

I agree 100% with your comment！ This was the best season for Shohei to finally show his talent to everyone.

@@gyazuka And ohtani never hit over 100 rbi while doing both. Ruth did it in 25 less games while he was doing both. Rbi are a more important stat than home runs. Maybe there could be a trophy for 2 way home runs named after ohtani. That would make more sense using your logic of course.

His hitting dropped in the 2nd half but his pitching became better, like it or not, he is the MVP.

[@dontknowdocare]

Actually I think he was getting hot again in september but teams started to walk him dozens of times so his OBP + walks were crazy high in the last month, they wouldn't LET him hit anthing and pitched around him. He and Walsh were slumping in August though, I suppose it was fatigue from carrying a team of mostly minor leaguers....

I am very happy to see Ohtani go to MLB from the Japanese baseball world and be loved by so many people. And now I love MLB deeply

[@sakitoby1581]

I've always loved MLB but becaue of Ohtani-san, I find I would really like to learn more about and watch some Japanese baseball. I really liked Shohei's Fighters manager when I saw him interviewed on CBS 60 Minutes. That gentleman deserves more credit for helping Shohei get to MLB and become the player that he is. Seems like he was a very good manager. Maybe HE should come over to us here also! : )

[@tsuyu_nuki]

@@sakitoby1581 As you say, Director Kuriyama is really wonderful. And I'm impressed with what you know by researching that much. Director Kuriyama expressed an interesting opinion that was convincing even after the end of Ohtani's season. I am very happy to be able to talk with you through MLB. I feel that it is very meaningful to be interested in baseball in each other's countries. Thank you for your reply.

[@sakitoby1581]

@@tsuyu_nuki Hello, thank you for your reply too. This week Ohtani-san received a very special award from MLB Commissioner Manfred for his exceptional season. This award hasn't been given in about 7 yrs. I'm watching the World Series right now but actually I just want it to be over so we can get to the MVP announcement. Lately I've been thinking about how fun it would be to watch a game in Japan. Fighters, of course! Putting it on my bucket list! haha

[@sakitoby1581]

Ohtani is VERY loved here. He has absolutely reignited America's passion for baseball. It is astounding how much 1 man has affected so many here. Just by being himself and playing with his whole heart. With spectacular results, of course. But it's about much more than just his stats. I truly believe that. I am determined to see him play (hopefully pitch) in a live game in the near future. Angels don't come to my state often; last time they did I got to see my other favorite, Trout, but Ohtani-san was recovering from surgery I think and wasn't playing. I may have to fly to California.

@bone-snypa Batting avg is not taken very seriously when they talk about how good the batters are. I'm not getting into a detailed explanation but I'll explain in simple way: Player A hit 7 singles in 10 at bat......battin avg .700 wow, .700!! Wow !! ......BUT worst case scenario, player A has NO RUN, NO RBI, maybe NO SB, NO NOTHING !!! Now player B hit 2 HOMERUNS in 10 at bat .......his batting avg is ...200, HOW HORRIBLE is that !!! Just .200 .... but he CONTRIBUTED 2 RUNS for the team !!!😁 Now, do you understand? You can't go by batting average only.

[@rockingrandma4711]

@bone-snypa If you watch games often enough, you know how difficult it is to have everything in place to have a runners batted in. How often runners are stranded on bases at the end of innings !?!? But, with homeruns, RBI is sure thing !!! The point is again, you cannot go by the BA alone, you have to consider the quality of batting also. This is not just my thinking, you can ask any baseball experts on this. Btw, if you don't care, then don't say anything !!🥱
