  15. A perfectly timed swing, a steady follow-through with an unwavering lower body.

    What a beautiful swing Shohei Ohtani has.

    And the wonderful sound of the ball is proof that there is no waste or blurring when hitting the ball, and all the power is mechanically concentrated on a single point.　That is why the ball flies so far even though he seems to hit it lightly.

    Three characteristics can be seen in Shohei Ohtani's swing.

    (1) Natural dynamic vision to see the movement of the ball,

    (2) A stable and smooth swing trajectory that does not shake the axis of the body due to the overwhelming strength of his torso, lower body, legs, and hips, and the ability to repeat the same swing over and over again as if programmed to do so at any time.

    (3) The ability to instantly find the best timing to hit an incoming ball and to capture that timing without fail.

    He has done all three of these things with his big body, which he has worked out over the past 10 years through diet and training. The result is a steady, efficient swing that sends a moving ball as far as a driver shot of a stationary golf ball.

    His strong lower body strength and stability are also related to the training he has continued since his teens to strengthen his basic physical strength as a pitcher.

    In other words, it can be presumed that his body building and training as a pitcher have formed the well-balanced strength and suppleness of his upper and lower body muscles. The muscular strength that produces his supple and beautiful home run swing may be a byproduct of more than 10 years of training not only as a hitter but also as a pitcher, with the goal of becoming a two-way player.

    That may be reasons why his swing looks different from those of other major league sluggers.

    Another of his great qualities is his ability to think, the ability to accurately analyze himself and create problem-solving plans,
    And his strong willed execution to work hard to achieve his goals until he completes them, no matter how hard it is.

    When Shohei was just a 16-year-old boy, he wrote on an 81-square matrix sheet (mandala chart) his current problems, their solutions, and the actions necessary to achieve his ultimate goal. This sheet, which he created with his own hands about 15 years ago, contains all the action scenarios from his boyhood to his current major league career.

    It is surprising that Japanese baseball education instructors had him create this sheet at the age of 16, but it is also surprising that he had the ability to accurately analyze himself and think of ways to solve problems at that age.

    It is hard to believe that a 16-year-old boy really wrote this sheet, but what is surprising is that he has followed the self-imposed scenarios written on it and has worked hard on his own and actually achieved them with his own hands.

    All the mysteries and secrets that lead to his current behavior as a major leaguer are already written in the description of this matrix sheet he created when he was 16 years old.　

    If you read it once, you too will be amazed.　Not only he is a great athlete, he is really smart!

  16. Let me know when someone else hits one up there like that one went. That's over 360 just to the outfield fence in right center. How many feet up from there do you think it is to get to 20 rows back in the upper deck? I'd say it's a few more than 40

  20. Ohtani did his part to try win the game, hit a home run in the 6 inning to tie the game, and a double in the 7 inning to again tie the game. If Shohei was pitching they would've won the game.

  29. Anyone watching can see that Ohtani-san’s 10th home run flew at least 427 ft (130 m). Reporting it as just 403 ft (122.8 m) is surely a mistake. Most likely, the ball struck the second deck before falling into the first deck, and the tracking system misread the landing point. I sincerely hope MLB will review this and correct the record — because moments like these deserve to be measured with the respect and awe they command.

  33. Statcast always shorts on Home runs. I don’t understand it. You would think they would overestimate it instead of short changing these HRs.
