This is one of those rare KZfaq videos in which the headline is NOT an exaggeration ...

@@douglascarlson9006 ??? Click bait. Why is he comparing someone who pitches in a foreign league that is probably equal to maybe single A ball, maybe D1. He's comparing statistics that have no association.

An 18 year old catcher in a top league is almost unheard of

And played in koshien

No shit Sherlock

No shit Sherlock

clearly bonwatcher doesnt watch baseball.

He grew them? In a lab? Makes sense now!

@@Brose_Canseco bruh

I think he meant to use the word "developed"

@@ST-lb9tt lmao

fr i never know bc sasaki is in different team otani and darvish was in same team nippon ham

I believe he would look nice in a Chicago Cubs Uniform. Don't you think so? And if he is as cool as Ohtani that would be great too.

There are agents eyeing him everywhere 😂 . All it takes is charismatic enough coach/manager to convince him to come over , this is a young potential player ready made to groom him in the best league to expand his skills . I see him like a young Michael Jordan when the coach/manager beach him cause of injury with the hits he took in the NBA early years .

Nobody wants to come to America any more.

I highly doubt that it's the lack of money that is preventing him from going to the MLB, if anything it would be family.

Shohei Ohtani decided to go to the majors at age 23 where he was paid about $500,000 plus $2.3mil international pool money bonus. If he had waited until age 25, he would have been signed as a free agent instead and would have very likely gotten a $100-$200 mil contract right away. He didn't want to wait. He knew the money would come eventually but he wanted to face the best in the world. Maybe Sasaki will think about doing the same.

@@jjabrony1973 It's quite different with Ohtani though, Sasaki was rather iffy about his MLB aspirations during high school, while Ohtani actually told all the NPB teams that he had no intention on signing with them had they selected him in the draft. Nippon-Ham and their manager Kuriyama somehow convinced him that signing with them would actually be a shortcut to a major league roster while developing him as a two-way player, so in a draft where round 1 picks are done in a lottery fashion, Nippon-Ham drafted Ohtani without competition as no other team even bothered construing this plan. What this means is that Ohtani was very adamant as a high school kid to go to MLB regardless of the consequences, and Nippon-Ham got him to sign with him with under the agreement that his time with the team would be to develop as a two-way player that would actually play both ways in the majors, something that probably would not have happened had he signed with a MLB org at age 18. This is in contrast to Sasaki, who had not made his MLB aspirations clear until becoming pro.

Hahahah😂😂

My only concern is that he is relying too much on his splitter like many other Japanese pitcher do (Ohtani, Tanaka)

@@l.w1693 another thing he’s very young and needs to be careful of throwing out his arm to where he’ll need Tommy John’s surgery sooner than later. Overall his delivery seems very similar to a Hall of Fame pitcher in Hershiser.

Haha much appreciated! I don’t think I’m where I want to be yet, but I’m going to keep going and improving!

and everyone doesnt want to move to north america.

Don’t know which of those batters is more dissapointin this postseason. Prolly betts that shitter just watched the ball

Easy to strikeout those bums.

@@barrybambmessagedeletedbyy7467 exactly. And I saw this as a Pads fan. Soto was miserable. Betts was watching the zone while meatballs were lobbed straight past him lmao. Send him back to Chaim Bloom

I don’t know how to respond to this other than the fact that this comment warmed my heart. Thank you!!! I’m beyond glad to know I’m helping you get into baseball and am an outlet for you to get your mind off of things. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. Thank you.

you’re the best. don’t stop doing what you’re doing

👊

I can see it

YOU are awesome. Thank you!

Baseball isn't like the NBA or NFL where one player can win you a title. Gotta have a good lineup, bullpen, good gloves on defense. To win it all you gotta have the whole package, not a few pieces.

Angels would probably waste a 3rd generational talent. I hope Ohtani, Trout, Sasaki get to play for a contender.

You just made my night, thank you!! Much appreciated

@@iTalkStudios no joke man, the subs will come with time. I might suggest making yt shorts just because that seems to get good reach for growing channels. Either way, you should feel proud of your work

exactly.

Red Sox need a lot of things

You are correct, it's from the powder bag.

Kinda racist if you think that because they’re of Asian descent … probably didn’t mean it that way but think about what your thinking about..

What? What made you think this comment was racially motivated? Is it wrong to think that two star pitchers would make a devastating duo when pitching on the same team? Knowing someone for their ethnicity isn’t racist…

I wouldn't, because it'd just be another star wasted. It sucks Ohtani and Trout are stuck there

@BMoreCory it’s valid

@@elmopihkala402 No because that’s the world we live in. Everything is racist. I’m glad you can see it’s satire. Get this bozo and everyone in it out of office. Can you explain what a women is?

??? What anime

@@iTalkStudios My bad wrong sazaki

Good money yes. But not even close to what he could make in the majors. Plus, the major leagues are harder. When you have a competitor, they want to compete at the highest level.

Rosin.. It even legal in MLB

I could care less about his fielding ability as a pitcher. First people need to put the ball in play, and it seems his contact to bat % is low. Second he doesn’t need to be Greg Maddux on the mound. I’d take an ace posting a 2.5 ERA, 12k/9, 1.3 walks/9, opposing BA of .170, a whip of .87, nasty secondary stuff, and a cannon for an arm over a gold glove pitcher 😂😂😂.
