Shohei Ohtani records a SEASON-HIGH 9 STRIKEOUTS! 😤 | 大谷翔平ハイライト

Otani gave up five runs on a career-high nine hits last week in Colorado. That’s nine runs his last two games over he give up just after he gave up just five over his first eight. Let’s go of a one two and another breaking pitch. Marte Offford strike three as a hitter. You always get frustrated when the home plate umpire is calling it. Another 3-2. Otani finishes him off back footing that slider. The way it started out, it looks like a fast ball coming right out of his hand. It has a late break and where it started. It started in the zone and then falls out. Nasty breaking pitch for a strikeout and already the third for Otani. He threw 18 pitches total in that first inning and he also he threw all seven pitches that he features in that first inning. So maybe he’s probably going like listen I don’t want to be predictable. Going for a strike out here with a runner third and he gets it by reaching 100 with a perfectly placed elevated fast. But like we’ve seen him do so many times throughout his time in LA. Whatever the moment calls for, whatever the situation of the night calls for, there’s a microcosm of that. It called for a strike out and he went and got it with a high heat. 27 pitch of this inning. Otani rocks and fires and gets out of it. Back to the curveball, which he’s riding like never before. Two-2 to De Cruz. Fast ball gets him looking. And speaking of athletes, that was tremendous pitch on the inter strikes him out. Nasty sweeper right there. Sharp break to it. And Otani’s got seven Ks through three. Here’s his 2-2 Deluxe. A curve, gets a swing and a miss. And he’s got a season high eight strikeouts on a careerhigh 17 curve balls. Good location, just good break. Ever comes to a breaking ball and you’re wondering, is it a late break? How good is it? The opposing team, the opposing hitters will let you know. One, two to Mlan. A swing and a miss in a season high nine strikeouts for Otani. Let me guess. Breaking ball. Curve ball. Yep. Why not? It’s working great for him. Crowd behind him as he fires. Two two ground ball to first. Hernandez takes it himself. Nineks over five innings for Shi Otani.

Shohei Ohtani strikes out 9 batters over 5 innings pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 5 innings pitched are also a season-high for Ohtani. | 大谷翔平ハイライト

  1. The prop bets for him today were over/under 5.5 Ks. The "analysts" all picked to take the under. Idiots.

  2. 奪三振数とホームラン数で、昨年の50-50みたいな指標を作って欲しい

  3. He pitched well today, though struggled with the two walks n wild pitches. Since he’s a strike out pitcher, pitch count goes up. Averaging five pitches per strikeout.
    In my opinion, if play offs started this week, I’m unsure if he would make top five. My first five would be Snell, Yoshi, kershaw, Sheehan, with Glassnow or Shohei. I’m basing it on recent pitching performances. At the beginning of the season, I thought that Kershaw should be the mop up guy but his performance has been outstanding.
    Which five pitchers would be in the starting rotation in playoff games?

  4. Shohei is starting show trust in his catchers. Especially dalton. Good to see. People have no idea the mental game of chess that needs to be played between catcher pitcher and hitters. Baseball is awesome.

  5. It's scary to see that his fifth-best breaking pitches scored him 9 Ks. So excited to see what the future holds for his pitching. Goatani! ❤

  6. 投手として、形になって帰ってきた
    あと何年続くかわからないこの偉業の数々を見逃すわけには行かない
    我々は今歴史を目撃している

  7. The pitch mix was insane tonight. Using that curve ball is going to get and set up a LOT of strikeouts. The last couple of starts he was getting predictable with the fastball. He was super creative this game. Awesome performance.

  8. 大谷翔平さんの🌈今日の☀️

    カーブを💫多投する🌠素晴らしいピッチングを拝見して☺️

    往年の✨江川卓さんの🌈ピッチングを思い出しました〜❗

    ドジャース移籍後🌠
    記念すべき1勝🥎

    心から💓おめでとうございます🙏🌈🥹☀️🌟

  9. He said he feel more natural being a batter than being a pitcher.if ones throw like this feeling unnatural.. No one is a natural pitcher 😂

  10. Shohei was dominating today, he's stuff was electric, so far in 32 innings struckout 44 batters, the innings to strikout rate is the best in the majors for pitchers this year.

  11. New 50-50 can be achieved

    50Hrs 50Ks

    This maybe is even more difficult to achieve than last year’s 50-50
