He wasted all those years with the Angels.
He says he likes pitching more than hitting. He really probably could win the Cy Young. Crazy stuff. For whatever reason, he seems to be struggling at the plate when pitching. I think that’s still a work in progress. You use different parts of your body when hitting and pitching. And factor in the fact that he’s changed his pitching form. I think he’s still trying to adjust to hitting and pitching in the same game. The most talented baseball player is improving day by day. No wonder no one can catch up to him
40대 중반의 나이인데, 나이가 드니 재밌는 게 정말 정말 없어요
현재의 저에게 거의 유일한 재미는 오타니입니다.
2021년 시즌부터 오타니의 거의 모든 경기를 다 보고 있습니다.(99%)
별로 살고 싶지 않다는 좌절감도 있는데, 늘 새로운 걸 보여주고 이루는 오타니가,
앞으로의 오타니가 너무 궁금해서 견디고 살고 있는 것 같습니다.
Still can't believe what I'm witnessing 🤯🤯🤯🤯 GOAT
I just watch baseball here and there so im not particularly knowledgeable but I notice that the pitcher now has an ear piece, Is it only connected to the Catcher or the coach also has connection with it? because I notice Catchers dont use signals anymore and just ready to catch right away.
It doesn't make sense what we're even watching here … people have ZERO idea how hard this is
Him peaking out from behind his glove gets me everytime
The regular season and playoffs will never use the tie-breaking system or the timer system.
This dominant starting pitcher is somehow by far the most criticized player because “this pitcher”didn’t get a single hit in the same game. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Ended up being a bargain for the Dodgers
Maybe it was great baseball, probably was. But I couldn't stop watching that fan order all that pizza and bear, and then discuss with the waitress about this card getting cancelled. What drama, great. I couldn't look away.
フィリーズは今季、本拠地での勝率がメジャートップの6割7分9厘を誇るのに→初戦→大谷翔平投手は3失点に抑え→勝利した！初戦勝利したらさらに→次の試合や最終的にフィリーズに勝つ確率は上がっている→大谷翔平投手は敵地のプレッシャーの中→勝利投手になった！
I thought Ohtani saved his splitter until this timing and I realized I was right. He is different from almost the others who can control the games and business.
Yamamoto has a bad first inning, then as the game goes on he's humming it…same for panda bear…
ギア上げるのかっこいい
He is nasty man. Once he’s got the curve and splitter going after Realmuto hit that triple the Phillies couldn’t touch him. I’m a Phillies fan, if it goes 4 or 5 they have to see him again and I’m not confident they do well😂
many languages here!😮
世界一、野球の上手い選手に❣️
大谷くんの夢がどんどん現実になるね🥰
영원하라 오타니여~~~~~
ジャッジは過大評価。リハビリしながらの先発投手にホームラン数で負けた。バイアスや差別とも戦わなきゃいけない大谷は尚それでも結果を出すから偉大すぎる。そんな甘やかされたアメリカ人ではこのハイレベルな二刀流選手は永久に現れないだろう。
Shohei ws great as well as Team. Of course critics said he didnt hit. So what he is not only player on offense who can impact game. LETS GO DODGERS🎉
“He allowed just one walk and struck out nine”. Guys he allowed 3 ER on as many hits. lol I mean why even say it like that ? Just be factual.
I’m just glad Ohtani left the Angels and is finally playing meaningful baseball in October.
This right here is the difference btw Judge (and all future and past MVPs) vs Ohtani. There's no one like him that can do this role. Even future 2-way players. You are all watching history at play.
I'd vote this guy if he ever runs for Prime Minister of Japan.
スリーラン打ったから許されるとかのレベルじゃないと思うのは俺だけか、テオの守備は
普通に不快超えてプロとしてあるまじきプレイだと思うけどね
11:34 GET THAT STUPID OVEN-MITT OFF OF YOUR HAND, YOU FOOL.
Zeus, Hercules, Sampson, Mercury, all rolled into one…Thunderbolts and thunder…Incredible athlete. Just boggles the mind 😲
I'm disappointed that he didn't sign with the Giants 😢
JT you’re not fooling anyone throwing up the 666. Plenty of so called STAR athletes doing this and paying homage to their deity. The real shoutout is to all the athletes who were just as good but refused to sell their souls. Christ Is King
Should be Shohei's 5th MVP in a row honestly… all im sayin
I can’t imagine how taxing that is on him. Crazy
i cant believe we are watching the greatest baseball player toi ever live right now… and hes on my team!! Cant take this for granted ppl! no matter what team you love
The 🐐
Always nice to witness another goat playing during our lifetime
I am blessed to see Superstar Ohtani play. Know that you are not just in the spheres of Babe Ruth, but also in the level of Michael Jordan.
Don't force yourself, enjoy and show the world your talent that was gifted from the Heaven!
Stay afar from drugs, gambling, and girls. And stay close, love and listen to your beautiful wife!!
Wow
This is why it's hard for me to follow baseball. It is a very fickle sport. And every year particularly in Philadelphia, the fans get fooled. They go this is the year! And why? Because they do really well in the regular season. The regular season in baseball is super irrelevant. The Phillies have spent the last few years absolutely collapsing in the postseason. And they aren't the only team that have done that in baseball. In baseball you say things like, they got hot at the right time or, the bats came alive! In other sports, most often the better team in the regular season remains the better team in the postseason. Sure there are upsets, but very often it's no surprise when a particular team wins the super bowl or even the NBA championship. In baseball every playoff season is a new season.
The Phillies’ hitters looked like they had practiced timing Shohei Ohtani’s fastball endlessly before the game. Through the second inning, Ohtani was struggling. The Phillies hitters were clearly waiting for nothing but his fastball. Then pitching coach Mark Prior walked out to the mound. I knew exactly what he was going to say to Ohtani: “It looks like the hitters are sitting on your fastball.”
Starting in the third inning, Ohtani began to mix in his curveball more aggressively. That probably wasn’t part of the original plan — it felt like an adjustment made on the spot. And it worked. From that point on, through the sixth inning, Ohtani gave up only one hit.
Anticipating what the hitters are expecting, and countering it with an unexpected pitch mix. that’s what the best pitchers do in the postseason.
It's Shohei's world and we are just living his story.
24:24 Crazy that this was called a HBP
Ohtani has never struck me out.
