大谷翔平 - The Official Shohei Ohtani Thread

[Angelsjunky]

We may need a stickied Ohtani-centric thread.

I like this one: Ohtani currently leads the majors in Power/Speed, which is the harmonic mean of HR and SB.

With 7.2 through 27 games he's on pace for 43.2, which is just below the record (A-Rod in 1998 with 43.91). I don't expect him to match that, but still very impressive.

Only A-Rod, Alfonso Soriano, Eric Davis (twice), Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco, Bobby Bonds, and Barry Bonds (twice) have surpassed 40 P/S. Trout's best was in 2012 with 37.22, which is 26nd best all-time. He's also got a few season in the 116-121 range and has the highest total among active major leaguers (243.57), which is 59th all-time. 

Oh wait, this was supposed to be about Ohtani. I think a somewhat moderate projection would be 35-25, but he's certainly capable of a 40-40 season.

All of these Ohtani facts are awesome in that they provide great perspective on what he's doing from a historic point of view... and no doubt about it, what he's doing his historic.

He looks like he could be Catherine Martin's sister.

Nice, Chuck. I was a bit confused when I first saw the thread title.

I’m pretty sure Glasnow crushes it with the ladies.

Not that I’m saying he’s good looking.

And if I did, it doesn’t make me gay.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

How fast was Meadows ball hit?  That's some quick reaction by Ohtani.

A little Jack Lazorko there

Only thing missing was the kick save.

21 XBHs in just 123 PAs

Has to be near the top of the AL in doubles as well as leading in HRs.

[Angel Oracle]

There was one Halos player in the past who did both playing in the field and pitching in relief.

In 1964, OFer Willie Smith hit .301 in 373 PAs (125 OPS+) and also pitched 31.2 innings with a 2.84 ERA.

He’s no Ohtani, but still that was also impressive.

Is "howninsanely" the baseball equivalent of Linsanity?

Dammit.

And it would have been so much better if Ohtani was native american. Like leslie nielsen in scary movie 3, heyhowareya, heyhowareya!

[ten ocho recon scout]

Someone posted they think ohtani will throw a no hitter someday. Very possible.

The other two scenarios i see being more likely, though. Which would be better?

Ohtani with a 3 HR game? Or with a 20K Kerry Wood game?

Sho's most impressive stat this year: Not the 2.10 ERA or 40 Ks. Its the 11 hits in 25.2 IP. 11 hits! Guys can't make good contact.
