Plus, he is an extremely likable gentleman; a very rare thing in all sports.

All of Otani's movements are beautiful. All about batting, pitching, and sliding.
Hitting, running, and throwing are all art.

I was there to witness all - glad to be apart of Ohtani and mlb history

The mandala chart Ohtani drew at age 15 is excellent.
People should be more aware of it

[ShannonAndNe-Ne]

Exact 1 year from his elbow surgery. Incredible😃

[janettevalenzuela]

I was in my office working and was watching on live stream on my phone. I stopped making phone calls just to take a peek every time Ohtani would bat. When he hit the 50th I literally started tearing. I'll never forget it. But that's what this man does. He takes your breath away. He makes you want to reach for greatness.

Omedetou Gozaimashita!!! Ohtani-San is a generational phenomenon, much like his fellow countrymen, undefeated boxer Naoya “the Monster” Inoue.
