Shohei Ohtani's All-Time Great Performance On Record Setting Night

[@missioncardiac7599]

I am 71 years old living in a small town in West Bengal, India, and I watch a lot of sports but never MLB, till Otani came on the scene with the Dodgers this year!

[@laserdrill2023]

so am i. i start to watch since 40/40

[@allenchang7608]

棒球比足球還要好看，當你體會棒球的樂趣之後，你就能發現

[@Galactic123]

And the crazy thing is, EXACTLY 1 year ago on 9/19/2023, he had his Tommy John surgery. Most pitchers after that surgery just spend the whole year on their couch recovering. Ohtani decides to take that recovery year and just go do something no one has ever done before in the history of the sport. And I find it laughable that some people poo-pooing about how easy it is to steal bases now. If it's so easy, how come only 1 person in the big leagues has more stolen bases than Ohtani?

[@おれんじぷりん-m2k]

Exactly!👍

[@CoutureThug]

Not to mention he stole 51 out of 55 attempts, that's a crazy percentage

[@bayareaaa]

Reportedly Shohei follows his own regiment and sleeps around 12-14hrs hours a day. Whatever he’s doing, it’s working!

[@robin212212]

@@bayareaaa i sleep 16 hours a day so hopefully i can make $700mil one day.

[@mutasharid2586]

Exactly!!!

[@TheHappyWhale]

Saw a stat that only one player has had: a 6+ hits game, a 3+ HRs game, a 2+ SBs game, a 10+ RBIs game, a 5+ XBHs game, over the course of their entire career. That player is Shohei Ohtani, who just did it all in one night. Unreal I get to see this happen in real time.

[@sammymorales6838]

Unreal greatness’s

Dodger fan here !! Shohei is unbelievable man.

[@hjames78]

Phillies fan here..... and im still a fan of him .. can't be helped!

[@JohnS2323]

Dude, because of Ohtani, now I am liking baseball! Crazy! GOAT!

[@Sonicifyouwanit]

The nice thing is, by watching him you also get to see Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Will Smith and on and on.

[@WolfWood375]

Ohtani is UNREAL! The greatest ballplayer I have ever seen.

[@rg2884]

Shohei has truly unique gifts. He is an elite batter, pitcher and base runner but another unique skill he has is being able to shine when it counts most. The final out of Trout a the WBC. The 40-40 walk off grand slam. And now the 50-50, 10 RBI, 3 HR, 2 steal day he just had. Like wow!

[@けん-e6w]

私には、彼の野球に対する真摯な姿勢に、野球の神様がご褒美を与えてくれているように思います。

[@dooickouski]

Honestly the craziest thing to me is that he damn near got a cycle in his first 4 at bats on top of all this!

[@davidchodds]

@@dooickouski yes! Im so happy somebody else noticed this. He was out at third by couple of inches. That close to a cycle on top of everything else. Amazing!!!

[@infiniteethernal]

We are witnessing the type of greatness that can inspire an entire generation

[@Zagirus]

Ohtani stands not merely as a player but as an immortal sculpture carved from the very essence of greatness.

[@ericsilva-gomez2481]

John, thank you for covering sports now 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@lancelotthanksalot7777]

You’re so talented John. You speak so well. So articulate. Congratulations!

[@kimberlyt3275]

he is the sole reason i started watching baseball 3 seasons ago. face of the league and he is in his way to be the GOAT.

[@nickpoprocky]

Thanks for doing this, JC! Sho is better than once in a lifetime. He is one of one. Maybe the best athletic performance I've ever seen man...

[@linhe3919]

Crazy!!! Shohei Ohtani got me interested in baseball and made me a Dodgers fan 🦄🤴💙🔥❤️‍🔥💥

[@jordan_miller218]

I have been following you, John, for pretty much a decade now. I have been waiting patiently for a sports channel 🔥🔥

[@ckk981]

John. I know you are a sports fan from all the years watching AMC, Campea Show, etc. Did not know you were into baseball like this. Love it!

[@randysmailbox]

It was a Masterpiece. This was like watching Ali or Tyson knock out an opponent. Like Watching Gretzky. Dale Earnheart, Like Watching Kobe , etc etc . This was epic. EPIC!!!!!!!!!

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

Facts!!! It was like prime Kobe or prime MJ or prime Tiger Woods or prime Ali/Tyson/Roy Jones Jr., it was GREATNESS personified.

[@jonathanjoseph7674]

You are 100% right! When Shohei got to the angels was the first time in my 32 years ive really paid attention to baseball and im from Boston so i would only check in if we won the world series lol i just didn't get how was he pitching and batting the way he was. Now i know baseball and the more i learn the more he impresses me but the most important thing is he introduced me to a new sport with at lease 50 player i really really like all thanks to my homie Shohei👏🏽

[@FilMcGoo6.0]

Great video John! Love the format

[@ryanwilliams4561]

It’s unreal how Othani is already the greatest dodger to ever play for the team. All done in 1 year.

[@tuve1973]

The Greatest, no question

[@kunifumi5264]

I'm a fan of Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. I've been watching him since his pitching debut in Japan. He has done things which only manga or anime characters could have done. He always amazed us and made us feel happy. So, all sports fans in the US, enjoy witnessing one of the greatest baseball history! Happy to be alive!

[@burningknuckle26]

helluva performance from Sho. He was LOCKED IN

[@shaunramkissoon2]

As a non-sports fan, I love this channel.

[@chrisjs511007]

Great video John, so happy you doing sports now!

[@davidchodds]

Yes, I'm glad you brought that up. 50/50 aside, just hitting 50 homeruns playing at Dodger Stadium is unimaginable. With all the great sluggers in Dodgers history, nobody was able to hit 50 while playing half their games at this stadium. Dodgers play 70+ games at night for home games. At night the air is so cool and heavy that fly balls lose about 30 feet. Similar to how you gain 30 feet at Denver. Most sluggers lose about 10 homeruns a year because of the stadium effect.

[@LL-tc1re]

Ah, I remember Ohtani had a lot of warning track shots caught at the wall, but looked like a HR off his bat. Probably did just miss at least 5 more HRs. I also remember he lost 1 or 2 in the beginning of the year at Wrigley with the wind.

[@JamesNguyen-fe6it]

every aspect was cool, such an amazing moment, deliverying under pressure

[@Xenferno]

I used to watch baseball back in the Barry bonds days, but stopped over my teen years. I'm back and watching baseball again because of Ohtani.

[@michaellloyd2489]

Once in a life time player

[@kayluu1228]

Nice breakdown!!! It really helps us to appreciate it even more.

[@Sonicifyouwanit]

I'm Jonathan Voytko, and I support this message.

[@LittleStar678]

My eyes popped like popcorns when I heard 3 HR, 2 SB, 10 RBIs, 50-50 (51-51), topping Green's record (49 HR), Matsui's most RBIs for Japanese players (120), on the day he cruised to the major league play-offs for the first time in his career. Simply put, he is from another planet!

Ohtani is the reason why I watch Baseball again.

Ohtani hasn’t pitched this year, but he’s also one of the best pitchers in the league last time we saw him. I don’t care about babe Ruth, ohtani is the baseball goat and the best 2 way player we’ve seen

I wore my Ohtani jersey with pride today, and I'm a Yankees fan

[@deromich]

His stat line in the game was amazing, and what an amazing season.

[@dtanobo]

I don't care much for baseball but I was at a bar when the game was on and I perked up when I saw Ohtani and started paying attention. He was really fun to watch. It's come to the point where I've checked to see when the next Dodgers match is happening just to see him play so your Tiger Woods analogy is spot on

[@ReanuKeaves1]

John, you forgot to include that the win today also makes Dodgers clinch a postseason birth. The first time Sho will see MLB postseason electricity.

Love this channel John, as someone who is not well versed in sports. Listening to sports through someone I respect in the movie world… somehow makes it a lot more palatable. I enjoy you breaking things down to the fundamentals and basics just like to do with movie talk. Keep it up!

[@nancyabeleda8585]

I did not think he can do all of this in just 1 game so how he got to 50-50 was the most significant for me. My jaw dropped when he hit that 50th homer. However, the most fun thing for me was that when the stat line became 50-51, I thought to myself it would be nice if he can make that an even 51-51. And when he actually did it, it was a very OMG moment that got me yelling and pounding the table! Unbelievable!

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

I know right! He's a real life anime super hero! Nothing he does makes ANY sense!!!!

[@joarielepamplina1860]

Just being Shohei is enough to be in awe

[@CoachAndrew77]

So it should be said too, not that it matters, the hardest home run to hit was the 3rd. Your amped up for velocity, or some 80-90 breaking pitches at worst. To effortlessly square up that pitch on that arc showed his next level barrel control. Most people would write that off as a cookie.

[@johnnyquest69]

John! You’re the man glad you started this channel. I would ask sports and movie questions on the live stream so this is great to see!

[@bangwi]

Hitting a walk-off Grand slam to get to 40 40 is insane I never thought it could be top. Last night was just too insane. Let's go for 60 60

[@revelfire]

I know John is only doing this channel for his personal enjoyment, but wouldn't it be funny if this channel actually picks up, and becomes a really succesful channel? John does tend to under estimate his popularity, his unique perspectives as a "pundit", and his fanbase. Maybe he doesnt have to fully retire from the internet... Goodluck John, either way!

[@TrypleD]

It's hard being an Angels fan 😢

[@sirmalmsten1982]

[@hrs795]

Shohei went out to the field as if he's the main protagonist from a baseball anime. The WBC 2023 final duel with Trout, the 40/40 grand slam HR, and now for the 51/51 plus all the shattered records in a single game.

[@barrymah6236]

KZbinrs! - Is there any close equivalency in any other sport? I can only think of Wayne Gretzky scoring 5 goals to get 50 in 39 games in 1981 when the previous record was 50 in 50. Is it ironic there is a Gretzky jersey in the background! I really appreciate this exceptional take on this historic, monumental event! Shohei is already a transcendent player at this young age!

[@brianknight7897]

If you need a cricket analyst, I am that most dangerous cricket fan, an American who knows just enough to explain and enjoy the sport. Gave up baseball, pro football, and basketball decades ago. There are local cricket teams playing in LA, so maybe check them out in the summer. The new US Major League Cricket league has an LA team which play in the American version of Premier League Cricket during the summer in Texas and North Carolina.

The GOAT

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Better start calling him Shohei GOATani.

[@kingofkingscaido]

If there was no wild pitch and the base runner does not come home his rbi would have been up 11 rbi. If his double was a home run it he would have 4 home runs and 12 rbi. If he was not thrown out at 3rd base he would have a triple. His stat line would have been 4 home runs, 12 rbi, 1 triple, and a single, 2 stolen bases. He would tied for the most rbi in a game and tied for the most home runs in a game in historic night where he got 50/ 50 club. Even though he did get those stats it's still the most impressive moment in baseball history. I guess 3 homers, 2 doubles, 1 single, 2 stolen base and batting 6 for 6 will do. The crazy thing is he could batted for the cycle also.

[@dblshotz75]

He just clinched the NL MVP.

[@Adventure_Quan]

And he has a 3.01 career ERA as a starting pitcher.
