He’s not the next Babe Ruth, he’s the *first* Shohei Ohtani

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.

Can y’all stop saying something like “Vlad is better” or “he’s .257”? He made us all excited than we’ve never been. Just be thankful for that.

absolutely there's no reason Shohei doesn't get a unanimous MVP, no need for any argument any more.

By far the most unbelievable player I’ve ever seen.

i arleady miss this guy.

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. I hope you don't get sick like this season and stay healthy next year.

This guy single handedly brought me back to baseball. I actually bought an Ohtani jersey. I haven't cared about baseball in 30 years, but I love this dude.

being top 5 in home runs, walks and stolen bases, 1st in triples is incredible. having a 3.18 era and a 10.8 k/9 is also really good. however doing both in the same season is just unheard of

My favorite baseball player!

I don’t remember when I last watched a full baseball game before this year and I don’t remember how many games I watched this year because of this guy.

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!

Was never a fan of baseball, in fact, probably hated the game and the athletes due to the whole steroid era. But after watching how remarkably unique Shohei Ohtani’s season was and the type of athlete and role model he is, even a former baseball detractor such as myself can appreciate what he’s accomplished. I’ll not only be following the rest of his career, but I’ll definitely be purchasing the yearly MLB subscription from now on just to watch him play. Now that I’ve learned the rules, game play and nuances of the game, consider me a new fan.

自分は長年サッカー派で、野球は正直ルールも怪しい位ほとんど興味がなかった。 まさかそんな自分が毎日MLBの試合をかじりつくように観る日が来るとは…。 しかも同じような人が世界中にたくさんいるんだから凄い👏👏 全ては大谷選手のおかげです✨本当にありがとう！

Have come to enjoy watching baseball after watching Shohei Ohtani Beyond The Dream. What an amazing athlete!

Best player on the planet, in human history.

He reminded me of my childhood dreams. Thanks Ohtani-San!!

I miss him. I will watch this video many times.

I just thank God that he had no injury during the season.

He is the only reason why I watch baseball lol. I've watched other MVP candidates but they aren't as exciting to watch as Shohei Ohtani. This man does everything those other MVP candidates do but they can't do what Shohei does.

実況の人が所々、日本語使ってくれるのが嬉しいなぁ。 来年も怪我なく今年以上の活躍出来ますように

The reason why I watch baseball again!! Was watching NBA these years, but this guy made me watch MLB again!!

My country no baseball, I am not baseball fan too. But Shohei's performances bring me into watching!

He’s his own empire, his nickname should be SHOGUN!

MVP!MVP!

Clearly he is The Most Valuable Player. He is one of the BEST all around players I've ever seen, and there's a Charismatic Special Vibe around him...when you see him you immediately notice that you are in the presence of wonderful greatness. Definitely one of a kind….very special one. MLB is very lucky to have him.

これだけのことを成し遂げても、これからの伸び代を信じられる選手です。 野球を楽しんでいる姿を見られるのが何よりうれしい。 いつもワクワクさせてくれてありがとう大谷さん

Hit for a cycle, top 5 in steals, 3rd in HRs, WAR leader, tied for 1st for most triples, top 5 in almost every batting stat. All this on top of most likely some Cy Young votes, he's the MVP. Ohtani is a superstar and this season will go down in history

こんなに野球を見た年はなかったです。大谷とエンゼルスとメジャーリーグのおかげです。ありがとうございました。

Shohi Otani is the best player in MLB his skill set is unmatched

literally hits home runs in EVERY corner of the box. this guy is legendary.

as a jays fan, Ohtani is a lock for sure, hes literally insane at the game and is a nice guy, hopefully he gets a ring one day

Been interested in baseball specifically MLB because of this Guy.

ShoTime! MVP!👏🎉💯

"Shohei", suddenly I realized that name is so beautiful, like the best name ever.

大谷サーーーン！感動と興奮をありがとう！！ 大谷さんのおかげで毎朝起きるのが凄く楽しみになってました！大谷さんの活躍は本当に自分のことかのように嬉しかったです！！本当に1年間おつかれさまでした！！ thank you!!!! shohei!!!💖

The most amazing thing about Shohei Ohtani is that he has a great baseball brain and baseball sense ... He has a genius in baseball sense.

I'm in Canada , Jays fan . But I love watching this guy . Absolutely awesome player. Looking forward to next year and what he'll do.

He's so fun to watch! so fun that he made a lot of non-baseball fan start watching baseball. He's valuable to the sport itself. And not only is he a talented athlete, he also has charisma-- refreshingly humble and cheerful guy, while cool on the field.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="297">4:57</a> My favorite homer

Thanks to Ohtani, I was happy this season.

Aww.. THANK YOU SO MUCH MLB!! I just missed this guy 🥺🥺🥺✨

Give this man a raise. Do you know how much revenue that Shohei single handedly brings to baseball? I couldn't have cared less about baseball a year ago. This year, I watched every single Angels game AND went to an Angels home game to watch Shohei pitch. Pay this guy more money dammit.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="146">2:26</a> that ball was almost a foot high, Shohei is ridiculous

Baseball ⚾️ is fun to watch again.

100%MVP!!!!!

Incredible Season, and a Transcendent Baseball Player.

His pitching is masterful and his home runs are entertaining, but I wish they included his base steals and the doubles, triples and just his overall skills as a baseball player. He's truly special.

Thank you, Shohei, for being one of the reasons I fell back in love with baseball and I am going to be playing again.

Imagine Wayne Gretzky also playing in goal and getting wins. That's how ridiculous what Shohei Ohtani has done. MVP without any discussion needed.

That line drive that Shohei Ohtani legged into a triple did something I never seen before - tore the gloves webbing going straight through it! Showtime brought me back to baseball, a total joy to watch! Thank you Shohei - I bow in much respect.

How amazing these Showtimes we’ve seen this season and hope he will do the same next year.

I just want to say, “He is, without a doubt, the best player in MLB” and don’t want to hear any objections.

Thanks Ohtani , We felt happy whole year, See you next Year !!

Sometimes I just can’t believe if this guy is even a real human, he’s just that good at everything.

As someone said MVP is not about stats but “value”. So the impact of his ridiculousness as well as the fact that he brought so many people’s attention back to this sport should be taken into consideration.

if only he had more support, would have easily hit 50 HR.

god i love him man

The fact that he maintained this for the full season is ridiculous. Easily one of the best if not the best player in baseball.

MLB should make Shohei Ohtani Award and give that to most valuable two-way player.

毎日楽しませてくれてありがとう。またMLB公式さんもこのような動画を作成していただきありがとうございます

I am from sri Lanka. We dont play baseball much here. But watching this guy playing is treat to eyes. The Pwer, speed, sportsmanship, humbleness ... You name it, he is top o everything. Only thing i can say is Angles need to pay him two to three times more if he dragging this much of work load. 🤣🤣

Slowed down after AS but proved that he can play whole season as two way player without serious injury Looking forward to next season

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

Thank you for making this film. Even though the season has just ended, I have already missed this guy. Thank you Ohtani for bringing an impressive season and staying healthy. See you next season, our MVP,Shohei Ohtani.

MVP, Ohtani brought me back to baseball.

MVP. this man is crazy.

Shohei MVP❤️❤️

20 minutes is not enough to talk about Otani in 2021

I'm so proud of him as a Japanese baseball fan! To be honest, I initially doubted he could succeed in MLB as a two-way player because it was something I have never heard of. I thought he should focus on either pitching or hitting. But this year he exceeded what I had expected with incredible records! What an amazing player! I'm also thankful to him for encouraging baseball lovers all over the world. His performance and smile have helped them overcome this difficult situation for sure.

I think Ohtani is the legend

Thank you so much Ohtani! 2021MLB was the best season in my life thanks to you!

One word he is what we used to see a superman description extra strong ,and gentleman good looks .

I've been watching or playing baseball for 50 years, and I've never seen anyone close to this guy as far as overall talent in my life. He can literally do everything on a baseball field, and do them at a very high level. I can only smh in disbelief... This kid is amazing!

The single reason I got back into baseball. Here’s hoping for more players like Ohtani, and most importantly, for him to stay healthy and keep building!

Thank you for showing me a lot of excitement and hopeful baseball😭🙏 Thanks to Ohtani, I started watching baseball⚾️I will continue to be a fan who supports Ohtani and your team❤️

２０２１がベストシーズンじゃない これは偉大な功績の始まりに過ぎない

i love you shohei😭😭😭 my mom and dad...thank you for giving me life...

Need more of his triples and steals in this highlight!

We will NEVER see anything or anyone like this again. ...that is until Season 2022 starts and Ohtani does this all over again. This guy is just unbelievably good. I hope everyone appreciates what he did this year and just how special he is as a ballplayer.

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

If he keeps hitting 35+ HRs and 3.20-ERA, he would be MVP every year.

MVP, MVP, MVP......

No doubt, he is the MVP!!!!

Shohei Ohtani World class.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="93">1:33</a> I can watch this scene many times, he's so cute when he said sorry.

In a way it's sad...he has no rivals. Who's going to be able to break his records in the next 10 years, his whole career as a baseball player, maybe even his whole lifetime? Only Ohtani himself. He set his own benchmark, and we'll be lucky to see another two-way player in the majors in our lifetimes because the hurdle of his success seems insurmountable. I hope I'm wrong and we'll see kids who grew up watching Ohtani give it a shot and succeed :D.

I respect all players, but Shohei is rewriting the baseball history and concept itself.

Thanks to Shohei, I had a great time. When I was depressed, he encouraged me and I made me feel good. I’m Japanese, so I woke up early to watch Angels baseball games on TV.

Love him and love his games.

He made me a baseball fan, after 30 years.

Onwards There will be more and more 2 way players who will come up inspired by Ohtani and the MLB teams now realize some players can actually contribute being 2 way. But I don’t think there will be any 2 way player who will dominate the way Ohtani did this season for another 30 years if not ever. This guy is a monster.

Blue Jays fan, but this guy is truly in a league of his own. I don't see how MVP can be denied.

The best player, the GOAT, the MVP

46 HR, 103 Runs, 100 RBI, 26 SB, 151 wRC+, fWAR & bWAR leader, .372 OBP, .965 OPS, 8 triples leader ,9 Pitching Wins, 3.18 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .207 BAA, 156 K's in 130 1/3 IP. Historical season. He made a lot of records. It will take decades to understand how great this season is. Ohtani doing right now looks easy, but unrealistic. Ohtani > Manga and anime

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

Greatest single season in baseball history!

I’m a Phillies fan, and my favorite player has been Bryce Harper(been following him since he was in HS) but Ohtani makes me fall in love with baseball all over again.

When i saw his game I just can't say "OMG!!!!" I really proud of him as japanese :)
