MLB Tonight | Shohei Ohtani is the batter who strikes the most fear, not Aaron Judge - Brian Kenny

[davidh]

Ohtani is the Superman of baseball right now. He’s bringing together casual sport fans from all over the world to watch baseball, which is a beautiful thing for the sport. 🥳

[investingty]

He forgot to mention Aaron doesn't pitch or steal bases like Shohei, not even close. Aaron's hitting numbers are only a little better than Shohei.

[海月娱乐传媒]

It's unfair to hide the fact that a rehabbing pitcher is doing this hitting.

Please also explain what other pitchers who have had Tommy John surgery are doing this season.

[Christopher-onzs]

People are losing all context here. Ohtani is like if Gerrit Cole got TJ surgery and hit like Judge in his off year while rehabbing. It’s impossibly great. Arguing that Judge is the superior player by comparing his marginally better hitting stats is not only dumb and lazy, it’s disingenuous. No one is close to Ohtani, including Judge. That’s not an opinion. It’s a fact.

[harumih.]

Ohtani's WPA higher than Judge is an evidence that Ohtani's focus is always the winning of the team. He doesn't focus on his own individual stat. His SB record is also a testimony that he wants to run as long as his SB can help the team score more.

[CarinaSuaza]

OHTANI IS THE FACE OF MLB THIS YEAR, A GLOBAL PHENOMENON!!! CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT AARON JUDGE???

[TotalTemp-gypl]

they're all saying not that we are taking anything away from Ohtani blah blah~ you guys are trying real hard to diminish what Ohtani has done this season

[suika]

Yankee stadium is little league ballpark.
There have been many players like judge　
Ohtani's record is a feat that will never be seen again.
Ohtani is the man God created to be the savior of baseball.

Mookie wasn't in the lineup for 3 months my and Freddy has been out too. LA better place for hitters? Yankees stadium is barely 300 at right field lmao. Also judge walks more cause he doesn't steal. Walking ohtani is giving him 2nd base or maybe 3rd.

[gumaming]

Before Ohtani, baseball was globally non-existent. After Ohtani, baseball enthusiasm has grown around the world when basketball is waning down. Let those fan numbers stick for a moment as compared to stat numbers. What matters most? But you know what as a new baseball/Ohtani fan, I do hope Judge gets the triple crown as Shohei broke a lot of records already. It would be a nice promotion for a more exciting and hopefully Dodgers-Yankees match.

[adrian-ot]

Now Ohtani has the world's attention in the MLB. He's a legend in baseball at this point. Can Aaron do this?

[alexsakon]

They forget that who hits behind Shohei is not the reason why he’s not walked. Nobody wants to walk Shohei because that’s basically going up a double and now you’ve got a fast runner on second base.

[xavierfranco]

What is this nonsense. Dodger Stadium is a pitcher's park.

[healthywiseandfit]

Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player. Even when he isn’t pitching, he’s still arguably the best hitter and best overall baseball player. When Ohtani is pitching, there’s no question that Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player.

[rickdeckard]

Yankee stadium is one of the most home run friendly parks, and also Juan Soto bats before judge in 3rd position, Ohtani bats leadoff there's no one to bat in yet he still leads the NL.

[wholewheaties]

The fact that you need to bring in the WEATHER as an argument to emphasize Judge says how desperate some analysts are to prop him up. Ohtani doesn’t need any deep dive into his stats, we all know his was the real historic season this year.

[Ryenobal]

I’m a fan of both, but like 2 weeks ago, Judge dropped a routine fly ball. Then yesterday, he struck out 5 times in a game. Yikes, for the best hitter in the game.

[pjscafe]

There's only one, GOAT and Unicorn. Nobody EVER calls Judge a unicorn or goat because he's doing something that's been done already. Judge also plays at hitter friendly park Yankee stadium. Look at Soto, he average 25 Homers his entire career with .267 batting average. When he goes to the Yankees, he hits 40 HR and over .300 batting. If Judge plays at Dodgers stadium, he will be lucky to hit 45 Homers.

[tommyalvarado]

Judge plays at Yankee stadium where a pop up is a homerun .. if ohtani played at Yankee stadium he would be hitting .400 81 HR 201 RBI slug 931 and a OPS of

[demi]

Yankees only paid judge 360 million vs dodgers 700 mil for ohtani. Others teams willing to pay ohtani same amount too. So based on that I think ohtani is wayyyy better player.
