What's also crazy is that Shohei sleeps a total of 12 hours a day (10 at night and 2hr nap). That leaves him 12 hours for film, training, and practice for what's essentially two sports and doesn't include eating and personal hygiene. Imagine the planning, dedication, and consistency it takes to be the world's best hitter and one of the best pitchers.

Apparently that wasn't good enough for Ohtani to win the MVP last season. Of course these same talking heads said if Ohtani had won back-to-back MVP's, then we might as well give it to him every year. Yes that is correct, he should win the MVP every year because he's a top 5 hitter AND top 5 pitcher at the major league level. We won't see this again in our lifetimes and maybe not for our kids' lifetimes.

60-year-old here. Angel fan. Not just my favorite MLB player in history but maybe my favorite pro athlete ever up there with Walter Payton. What can you say? I live close to Angel Stadium. my daughter saw his translator at a local grocery store and was awed by him alone. He was humble before his first pitch in the MLB. What a fantastic man. Since his first swing, I have been amazed.

@dape8993 11 ай бұрын

In a segment MLB Network did earlier this year with Aaron Judge and Harold Reynolds, Judge talked about setting his hands during his initial stance so that they can "see the pitcher". I notice that in clips taken from the CF camera angle in this video Ohtani does the same thing. Judge explained that position enables to have a quicker, shorter path to the ball, thereby making it easier to handle plus velocity.

in 2023, Aaron Judge makes $40 Million MLB salary. Shohei makes $40 million in endorsements alone. Shohei entered MLB early and gave up millions to showcase his talents. Offering the most money will not be the deciding factor as a free agent. It will be about Shohei and the best opportunity to make his legacy as an all time GOAT.

@mikloslipcsey7923 11 ай бұрын

The comparison between Freeman and Ohtani is really interesting. Freeman seems to have an abbreviated follow through, whereas Ohtani’s follow through is completely extended all the way to his back. Yet, the result is the same… the ball goes way into the crowd. What would be the pros and cons of each these follow throughs? Both players are a joy to watch.

@wescurtis4279 11 ай бұрын

My two cents on the matter is that it's simply a bio mechanical difference. Neither of their follow throughs affect the amount of power being generated as all the power of the swing is generated prior to being imparted onto the ball. More than likely the it feels more comfortable for Freeman to shorten his follow through while Ohtani likes to take a big hack and just let the energy carry the bat head. I don't know if there would be an overstated advantage to either, just that one is more comfortable to that person.

@koningklootzak7788 11 ай бұрын

Don't forget Ohtani has freak level physical elasticity. Plus, he is getting bigger every season. Combine them and you get high exit velocity on every homerun he hits.

nah, Barry Bonds is the standard bearer for POWER LH picture perfect swing. I get the showcasing contemporary current players but Freddie Freeman? Freeman is the softest 30 home run guy I've ever witness. Ohtani is locked in though but he eventually stalls out as a .250-.260 which is pretty top tier for LH power hitting. Still Ohtani is a shoo in for MVP every season he isn't hurt.
