Most Variable Player = MVP Most Variable Player in baseball history is Shoei Ohtani. No doubt 😆

single player carry

Showman

I agree. There has been a number of great performances by a hitter in two consecutive days and there will be. But both hitting and pitching by a single two-way player...

What I’ve been saying all day on Twitter and people still argue.

It was 2 different games. Neither was overly impressive in the grand scheme of things .

20 years later, if Earth still spinning , waiting for another player in MLB to break 8 RBI and 13 SO by a same player in two consecutive games.

Wait is there actually a player named "Catfish Hunter"?? Why don't more baseball players have cool nicknames like that

No doubt

@@didsomeoneask stop being a meenie u weenie

never, never, ever get tired of these. The man is history and exciting for baseball...

I just said the same thing a few minutes ago. I bet many commenters echo our sentiments.

No，we will see back to back no hitter + grand slam.

Shohei hitting for a cycle with a grand slam for 10 RBIs and an 18 SO pitching gem the next day. You heard it here first :)

Dont be so sure about seeing this again. No, probably not at shohei levels but i think he will be a major roll model for young players and i think you might start seeing more 2 way players. Someone who can do both competently is essentially 2 players on the roster.

Among other things, baseball just isn't as popular anymore. Even in Japan it's slowly dying.

Because it's against the Royals?

in japan (fan's upload of this game) has a high attention and ratio, mostly 900k per video

Wrong color and wrong gender and he is probably not a democrat. :)

He is beyond our imagination and comprehension. It's a great loss not to watch him.

He is bringing lotsa of $$$ to his angel's organization and the mlb 4sho!

translated for JP: 「昨日も言ったし、今日も言うけど　この男を見るためにチケットを買え　人生でこの才能は二度としてみることはないぞ」

I went to his first career start at Angels stadium back in 2018 he was magical and the stadium was electric. He went 7 IP 1H 1BB with 12 SO taking a no hitter into the the 6 Inning. He’s such a special player on the field and off the field.

What about “incredible”?

Baseball player.

And look at that dump truck Man has 🍰🎂

Yep, we've never seen a player like Ohtani in our lifetime and we will never see another one like him again. Soak it all in. We are witnessing history by watching this man on the mound and at the plate.

That was a magical debut you'll treasure seeing forever! He retired 27 A's in a row going back to the previous game. Shohei over 4 1/2 seasons is consistently making the necessary adjustments; after all, his forgettable 2020 pandemic season led to last year's breakthrough.

you love him

love how he stares at the ball

No where even close to Tom glavine. He is not even elite. You look at degrom and Scherzer ohtani doesn’t come close

@@kodyfong3704 LOL ... do you have eyes or just look at the stat sheet. He's got 4seam, curve, slider, splitter, cutter in his arsenal. When he's on, he's just as unhittable as degrom and Scherzer without even needing to overpower his opponent. ... and oh, hits 500ft bombs with exit velo 110mph+ ... and runs @30+ft/s This season, he only sat out once or twice. How many games did Degrom play? LOL

Most amazing gifted talented athlete on the planet right now . He always seem to show us a new special surprise play everytime . Like can he possibly get any better ??? Whoa crazy ….9.30am btw

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu if he is so unhittable why did he only pitch 68 innings. He should try and pitch as many innings as possible to give his team the best chance if he is so unstoppable. The teams he is facing in his division is arguably the worst as well.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu whenever he faced a somewhat decent team he gets rocked. Stats don’t lie. All his “great” performances were against teams well below 500 with the exception of the Red Sox. When he played a team like the yabkeees he got rocked. Same thing with Houston. To be elite you show up no matter who the opponents is.

Shohie hit for a cycle in 2019 against Tampa Bay and came close again last week with a triple shy, and he also came close to a perfect game earlier this season against Houston going into the 7th inning, I think he'll get a no hitter soon cause the stuff he has is unhittable at times

asian cant do that you fool

I’m surprised he hasn’t yet.

I would not be surprised if he have 4way job, pitcher batter manager and US president.

I hope you have watched all KZfaq videos of Shohei's running and stealing bases clips. Those clips made my mouth opened and was totally shocked by how fast he runs between bases. OHTANI IS BEYOND HUMAN, HE IS JUST THE REINCARNATION OF THE UNICORN 🦄. How can a HUGE and heavy guy like Shohei running like flying! It was too UNREAL! In fact, I couldn't stopped laughing when watching those Shohei running bases videos. It's absolutely outrageous to see Shohei stealing a base and got his uniform all dirty even before his 1st pitching and witnessing Shohei's successful home steal as he was intentionally walked by opponent pitcher 😂!

Hahaha how did you notice that?

omg that's hilarious

hahahahahaha i hope thats his homie. no girlfriend wants that really hahah

😂😂

@@mattkeller5913 I think it was the flurry of movement that caught my eye.

So you are saying its self love.

Showtime Shohei

SAME HERE!

Yeah! But they made bad comments sometimes like they understand the game, which is frustrating at time. Then get mad cause people correct them.

I don't get it. They look at him pitching or hitting alone and don't realize he is still learning and getting better. He is above average at both. And then he has flashes of absolute brilliance.

because they are .... 🤭

People will hate you if you're that good. Just the way it goes unfortunately. He's the MVP btw

The number of views proves Otani's influence. I think MLB players know his greatness best. Because it is a dimension that is possible or impossible. I'm sorry if the translation is wrong. 🙏

Definitely not overrated. A great player.

When the camera pan to him after he was struck out from his last at bat, despite having a 5-0 lead and in 9th inning, he appears to be watching that at bat on the ipad and appeared to be upset. I think that's what it takes to be two-way, no time to celebrate pitching a gem, use that time to determine what could be done better with the batting.

*I* dont know how you can have Shohei, Trout, and squander their talents by never making the postseason.

I think he will be the GOAT and is already the best talent we've ever seen. GOATs have to win rings though.

@@mattkeller5913 disagree

@@mattkeller5913 By himself? That's a dumb argument.

Are you guys serious? He is not the GOAT and he never will be. He is an amazing talent, but there is no real benefit to being a pitcher/hitter in the MLB, especially in the American League. There are a lot of pitchers better than him and a decent amount of hitters. Let's not get out of hand here.

@@chadfarthouse7741 You do know that this is a one person doing both, don't you? He will be talked about long after you are gone.

No, he's a angel in human form!

god who has landed on the ground to play baseball.

Yes, hopefully the Angels actually manage to win somehow, Ohtani and Trout definitely deserve it.

will be soon.

⚾️htani is without a doupt the most valuable player in the league, to be an ace pitcher and one of the best hitters is incredible, unless Babe Ruth came back and played like 1919 there's no one more valuable then Ohtani Baseball ⚾️

that's an insane standard you are putting up there ... 8RBI in one game, 8IP 0ER, 12SO the next is your standard to beat Judge? 😂 Sounds like you have one standard for hitters, another standard for foreign 2way players

@@trevorcarey3997 what did Babe Ruth do so good in 1919? Shohei destroyed it in 2021.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu his standard is if shohei keeps giving us signature performances that keep us excited about baseball he'll be the no doubt mvp again.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu MVP means "most valuable player". you know?

He might have topped it recently, at least single game performanxe. 2HRs and a walk from 3 at bat, 1 ER from 6 innings pitched and 10 strikeouts.

If his recent 10K 2 homer game plus the game before (1 for 3 with a homer and walk) or game after (3 for 5 with a triple) doesn't surpass it already. It at least showed that he does have the potential to have a better 2 day performance than the one he had in 2022 because in 2023 he has shown that he can bat just as well when he pitches.

One thing I learn with Ohtani is that just enjoy and don't limit your imagination.

@@saetharion He might have topped it again in a DH against the tigers lol

I, too, find this is my reason for staying interested in baseball...Shohei Ohtani!!!

Shohei is Not one of the best players, Shohei 🦄 is The Best Baseball Player ever throughout the whole Baseball History! There are a lot of articles and TV/Radio shows talked about why Shohei is the Best and I won't repeat here. However, I would emphasizes that Shohei is also far better than Babe as a great two-way baseball player and as a classic, respectful, devoted, kind, humble, and caring super hero to all people around him or opponent players/ managers or fans far away.

As Shohei's fan, we felt so sorry that Ohtani's home run at the last game of last season stopped Mariners going into the Play-off. We would definitely pray for Ohtani to have home run at that last game because that would made him the 100th run and made the historical new 5 100s MLB record. However, I was hoping Mariners able to make it to Play-off even Ohtani got his HR. Unfortunately, Mariners lost the game as Shohei's HR was so destructive for the psychology of the Pitcher (And that Pitcher transferred to another team and took revenge on Ohtani this season and struck out Ohtani then and won the game). However, I assume Mariners would be able to go to Play-off of this season. Actually Shohei hang on a Mariners coach's back (l think he's the pitching coach) and stopped him from joining the big fight between Angels and Mariners that happened months ago. Shohei clammed him down and that's why this coach didn't need to be punished by joining the big fighting because Shohei held him out of the crowd. If not, it might affect Mariners' pitching soon after the big fight.

He did that to Tigers last season

@@Iverson8811 eh he did the boston this year

You would one day be proud about yourself in front of your grandchildren of being able to watch Shohei's game in stadium 🏟️! In fact, many of us are envying you able to watch Shohei THE REAL PERSON! To us, Shohei is like a real unicorn 🦄 in reality because we are in the opposite of the globe 🌍🌎 from where Shohei plays!

@@slleung8979 he has a long career ahead of him. i’m sure you’ll get a chance one day

if all the stars aligned and they let him go the full nine innings no reason he couldn't have a 4 home run game and strike out 18 or more. If he stays healthy and plays like this into his mid thirties we are bound to see some ridiculous single game performances.
