Shohei Otani’s “Decay of the vessel” ~ Why did you become a good young man with such a big vessel? ~[Overseas reaction]

Shohei Ohtani won the American League MVP in 2021 with unanimous votes. In 2022, he won 15 wins as a pitcher and hit 34 home runs as a hitter. However, while the fierce MVP battle continued until the very end, it was a disappointing result. The 2022 American League MVP is the Yankees judge player. He hit an AL record-breaking 62 home runs for his first win. However, it can be said that Ohtani was more active this season than last year. He started 28 games as a pitcher, going 15-9 with a .625 winning percentage and a 2.33 ERA. His strikeouts rank third in the league with 219. Looking back, it’s a staggering number. A number that could easily win the Cy Young Award. Ohtani also talks about his pitching this year. “Overall, the impression was that the slider was good. 273 batting average, 160 hits, 95 RBIs, and 34 home runs in 157 games ranked fourth in the league. Achieved the first feat in major history to reach the “throwing and hitting double rule”. Ohtani also said the following, saying that he gained a lot as a pitcher. “Last year, in contrast, I was a better batter, but this year was a pitcher’s year.” . Even during the season, Otani did not seem to be concerned about the MVP competition with Judge, and when asked about Judge’s performance in a media interview, he said the following. “I’m also looking forward to seeing the judges. I saw the 61st run, and I’m looking forward to it as a fan.” The interviewer who asked the question was surprised. That’s how it was, so even after the MVP announcement, he talked about the judges as follows. “As a fan, I am one of the people who made me happy that I hit again.” In this way, I was grateful for the judges who had worked hard to liven up the MVP competition. Otani, who has set numerous records such as double-digit wins, double-digit home runs, and reaching the double-hitting rule, has only been five years since his MLB challenge. He is only 28 years old, so he may evolve further next year or the year after that. Ohtani, who has become a superstar so much that he can be called the “face of MLB”. Not only his play but also his personality such as behavior and gestures are evaluated. So, in this video, I would like to introduce the episode where Ohtani was praised as a good young man, and also delve into the reason why he grew up to be a good young man.
