1. When you realize the video is over, but you're not ready to part with it💞

2. Go Shohei ♨️

3. Throwing from behind the rubber. How sportsman-like to give hitters an extra nanosecond to react.

4. emmet my goat observing my other goat

5. Beautiful pitching form.

6. He makes it look easy being a 2-way player. Maybe it's still too early to call him the GOAT, but…maybe it's not. 🙂

7. Crap, would of been a great video if we could see both pitcher and catcher, just seeing the pitcher throw the ball is very boring

8. 투수들한테 부담주는 피치클락 없애야함.

9. Ohtani's first start will be must watch TV…..lol

10. I think Dave Roberts puked at 6:19.

11. Wow…Max Muncy standing in the back operating the tablet/camera device! I bet Nolan Arenado can't do that!!

12. It looks like he's only going 60%-70%, which is perfectly fine. The big test for me is when he starts to incorporate his breaking stuff, especially the slider and splitter. I imagine the Dodgers will have him throw the tight slider or perhaps just the cutter in lieu of his sweeper which he threw with the Angels and which likely stressed out his arm. I know he went away from the sweeper when he started feeling arm strain and managed to squeeze out a few more starts before he was shut down because of pain. But he's going to need that splitter. So, that will be a big test when he starts throwing that pitch again.

13. May's leg kick isn't as bad as Roki's leg kick. At least May's kick is moving towards the plate. But i still don't like it. It's hard to say anything about Ohtani. He doesn't have a whole lot of flaws
