Shohei Otani

This dude is not human.

First member of the 50/50 club.

Went 6/6 with 3 HR, 10 RBI and 2 SB today.

He may be the best baseball player I’ve ever seen.

He’s the greatest baseball player in history.

Heck of a player… Loved watching him play live against the Seibu Lions in Japan… But since he went to mlb not a fan.

I was in a restaurant the other day with some customers, none of whom were baseball fans. Shohei Ohtani was being shown on one of the TVs. Yes, it was a high class place. I tried to explain the guy to them. I don’t think it really sunk in what a monster he is. There’s nothing he can’t do at the highest level. Dominant pitcher. Dominant bat. Dominant bass (yes, this is a typo that I decided to leave because I’m sure he’s a dominant bass player too) runner. I can’t really speak to his fielding as I haven’t seen enough of him, but I’m sure he’s dominant there too. He’s my daddy.

First player in mlb history to have 50 steals and 50 home runs in the same season. Improves on that by hitting three home runs with another steal, and knocked in 10 runs in the same ■■■■■■■ game. He’s Barry Sanders on crack, bath salts, and crystal meth all at the same time.

This guy is pretty good. I can remember when the 20/20 club was pretty darn prestigious, the upper crust, so to speak. But wow!
On top of the monumental game tonight, he would have hit for the cycle in his first four at bats if not for a great throw and relay from the wall in left-center field.
He might throw a no hitter AND hit for the cycle in the same game. Just incredible.

Of coarse you don’t like him. He weighs less than 350 pounds.

I’ve heard he can pitch too in an emergency situation.

Been piling up his rookie stuff for years. Latest, thought it would get a 10, but still nice. Getting a rookie auto still a ways away, need to keep churning $250-300 cards like this for another year.

No:

it’s crazy watching potentially one of the best players in history play. I do wish ichiro had come over when he was younger, he probably would’ve had the mlb hit record.

Different eras so it’s extremely difficult to compare. But if I’m a GM with the #1OA pick and Ruth and Ohtani are both available, I’m going with Ohtani.

Dude was running down to first base before he even hit the ball. Never seen anyone do that on a regular basis.

This might be the greatest game played in the history of sports. Can anyone come up with one that is even remotely close?

Ruth pitched early in his career, then became a hitter. He didn’t really do both at the same time like Ohtani.

Ohtani has only been in the league for a few years, and has done things nobody else has ever done. I get the argument for Ruth though.

I have him in my fantasy baseball league. He probably won me my playoff week with that Game yesterday.
