Otani and Trout bring WBC to another level.

The Japanese coach said he couldn't sleep after winning the WBC 2023 championship but after getting off the plane he was still thinking about how they could improve for the next WBC. Those guys really live and breathe baseball. It's not only about winning all time but loving the game.

WBC is the greatest baseball competition tbh

Look at his uniform. Has there ever been a closer with dirty uniforms? It's just cool.

Ohtani is the best athlete in the all of major sports right now! He deserves all that money coming his way next year

I’m still shocked how the WBC blew up the way it did. It’s now gone global

The Sho was incredible. WBC won!! it brought more non-fans audience & viewers to start liking baseball. I, myself wasn't a fan of baseball until i saw the uniqueness of Ohtani playing two-way in a high level. I mean he is from another planet. An Historic player

I don't know much about baseball. But I know Ohtani. I almost never watch baseball. But I often watch Ohtani. I don't know the greatness of Baseball. But I know Ohtani's greatness somehow.

You guys missed the perfect bunt Shohei did

Look how excited these guys are. They are knowledgeable enough to appreciate Ohtani a lot more than we average folks are.

It's a rumor that Shohei's contract value would rise upto 700million bucks 10 yrs.

Never watch baseball but this guy peeked my interest in the sports

Top 5 pitcher and batter. Even Babe Ruth didn't do it this good for this long. IMO Shohei is the GOAT simply because there has never been anyone doing this before.

That was a perfect slider. Insane to think of the confidence to throw that on a full count. He's such a badass

BEST WBC EVER ❕

First Ichiro. Now Shohei. (As in creating a legend in this tournament) Shows how much love for the game Japan has. Showed class too in a sense that they tipped their hats to the US team. This is the sportsmanship the sport needs. (We do not need rude stuff like planting their flag on the mound anymore)

Shohei Ohtani is an amazing mutant born in the world of baseball.

Shohei Ohtani is the living, breathing Baseball unicorn that no one ever even imagined could ever exist and yet we're actually living in that time watching him, in his prime. Sometime in the future the statement: "Ruth, Mays, Aaron, Young, Martínez, Clemens, Mantle, DiMaggio, Bonds, Griffey Jr, etc. were all pretty good too..." and THAT statement won't be insane but simply asserted with a head nod and a "Yep, they were."

2 years after Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (among others) played their famous exhibition tour in Japan, a new professional league was born in that country. The seeds for Ohtani's emergence as a baseball phenom in MLB were planted all those years ago. One of the best things about this sport is how a full century+ of history is still alive through the players that inherit and carry on the game

真的是外星人下來打棒球，百年難得一見天才選手。

He’s so welled prepared that he makes it look effortless

ohtani❤ Amazing🎉

I don't understand why he didn't win the mvp 2022. Oh wait, they don't want him to win 2yrs in row. Another thing no one has ever done. This guy has fans all over and bringing ppl back to baseball. I haven't paid any attention to baseball until last yr becuz of him

I think that the WBC will grow so much in importance, that one day club owners can't deny a hight pay player to participate in the tournament if he is chosen to be part of a team. It will be more up to future tv contract with MLB organizers and I personally have the feeling that it will get to that point.

Thank god WBC blew up big time that we might just see more stars on the next one.

I havent seen an impressive an athlete since Bo Jackson!

The greatest talent ever

What a time to be alive..

ほんとバッターとして最高　ピッチャーとしても最高

Even as someone who knows next to nothing about baseball I still am amazed hearing the stats, even if I only barely understand some of them.

日本ではあの監督のチームで外野もやってたぞ😂

Carlos Peña is one of the best at the network. His takes are always on point. I remember watching him hit bombs back in the day for my Tigers. He was my favorite during those lowly times lol Peavy has really come along too.

WITNESS GREATNESS!

Cant get enough 😮😊

Goatani.

Maybe because he is two way he can do so well, because he knows what the opponent is doing.

Wow ❤it😮

I like Peavy as an analyst

Solo imagínate si OHTANI fuera estadounidense y se llamara Oswhor y todos los logros que tiene los consiguiera en USA para USA sería una verdadera locura y ejemplo para todo EEUU solo imagínenlo

Why is no one talking about how team USA manager did not bunt Mookie Betts with jo outs and a runner on first. We just needed to tie the game, did he think that any team could string 3 or 4 hits in a row against Ohtani? Manager could have forced a different outcome.

If Ohtani was a Hockey player, he would be Gretzky on the first line and then becomes Patrick Roy in net when his line takes a rest.

This WBC victory was a historic day in which the Japanese "YAKYU" Baseball won over the American-style “Baseball”. Japanese YAKYU was derived uniquely from American-style baseball and took more than 100 years to achieve. The fact is that on this same planet, there is another baseball that exists in a different spirit than the US style. Of course, the roots of baseball are USA, but baseball that was exported to other countries from US and took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact. The reason “why Japanese baseball is strong in international tournaments" is not because they have strong members and excellent coaches. It is because they are “not players who grew up learning baseball in the United States". They were “educated in Japan's unique system of baseball education” when they were in high school. Americans don’t realize the importance of "the unique baseball education system" of Japanese baseball. Ohtani is undeniably a great athlete, but if he had been born and raised in the United States, with the same DNA would not have grown into the Ohtani of today. He was born and raised in Japan and received a Japanese baseball education from childhood, which is why he is the player "he is today". Not only the physical aspect, but also the way he thinks about baseball, his stoicism, and his gentle behavior are the result of his baseball education from his childhood to high school in Japan. and it is Japan's unique baseball education that produced "the monster" Otani. He is not a unicorn, but merely an honor student of Japanese high school baseball education.

His demeanor was Mariano Rivera

peavy does the ohtani also. he does baseball analysis and then he goes on the road to review pizza joints. busy guy. one bite, everyone knows the rules!

On set Home plate needs to be centered

This is funny to watch now because Ohtani got way better as a pitcher.

Japan loves Baseball more that USA. Result shows.

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed this more than the last world series. heheh (** bracing for some angry comments **) LOL

if you pitched inside the batter box it’s over🥹🤣 he ate that sht up

Could someone please mention the closest guy to Ohtani in soccer terms?

Ohtani to the Mets! You heard it here first!

Imagine in playoffs and WS? He wasting time with the LA Angels he needs to go to another team ASP

Just realized he throws righted handed but bats left handed. Maybe that’s his secrete

If Angels don’t pull in together and prove they can go to the playoffs, Othani needs to go to a different team.

≪🌏⚾🎉

Can someone describe Ohtani in American football terms?

i always worry about an injury … Sho is going to make 35m/yr Edit: 35m after taxes 😅

Love watching baseball savants gushing over Ohtani.

大谷だけじゃ勝てないわな

Verlander has the best fastball. it's not the fastest, but it's the best. Ohtani has the best splitter - and if he used the riding two-seamer, he'd have even more. the change-up is a non-starter for Ohtani - he's too used to over-powering his opponents with velocity.... i do wish Ohtani would focus more on out-smarting his opponents.... you don't get to stay young and strong forever, unless yhou're Nolan Ryan.

Trout is not the best player in the game anymore!!! He doesn't even steal anymore for one thing

コブラのCGだけは無駄

But Ohtani hasn't shown he can bunt! He can't be MVP!
