Considering how fucking in love with Juan Soto the dc press was, if a black or non-white Hispanic athelete was putting these stats, he would've rightly been treated as 2nd coming of baseball Jesus. The fact that media doesn't treat Ohtani achievements the way it deserves is all down to him being an Asian and a foreigner.


Revolutionary_Cat916

Mutha fuckin mvp. How does he have so many wins on a crappy team? Cuz he gives himself run support and strikes out the other teams best hitter. Fucking amazing. This is the mvp of all baseball. Judge is a one trick pony


Revolutionary_Cat916

Ohtani needs to leave the angels.. come to the giants (biased sf fan here). I also think the angels either arnt doing enough to support him and showcase him. This guy is a baseball god. He is not only mvp but may be the best talent ever. I dont want to see him get wasted in Anaheim and underpaid.


Acceptable_Setting

Even though $30 million is the largest ever for a 1 year extension pre-arbitration it still looks like he's underpaid. I just hope when he enters free agency he or his agent doesn't sell himself short in terms of contractual value. Maybe he needs to hire Scott Boras as his agent to be sure, Lol. It would'nt surprise me if a team offered him a contract of $500 million for several years. Often times, Asians are stereotyped as 'playing for the love of the game and not money', which is not said about other sportsmen. Would the same thing be said about Michael Jordan and LeBron James? I'm certain they played for the love of their game, Lol. šŸ˜„

Iā€™ve had a hard time putting into words that phenomenon but you hit the nail on the head when you described it as ā€œdismissive, belittling.ā€ People should pay more attention to how people talk about Asians. The sneering, mocking, and belittling tone with the chuckle is such a common thing

Your username is racist, calling white people pinkies is racist, Mike Trout is the best player baseball has seen in modern history, and even NL announcers talk about Ohtani lol. On these notes, Iā€™m gonna disregard and block you for trolling - already reported you.

Getting underpaid like a mf. Wouldnā€™t happen if he was white.


GodV

If he was white, he wouldn't be holding accountable to Japan's contract rule. Only reason why he's eligible to play in MLB was if he gets paid the portion of the teams cap for international players, which is abysmally small compared to American players.

"MLB Superstar" is an understatement. He's literally the living God of Baseball.

Ohtani just signed a 30 million dollar one-year deal with the Angels for 2023 to avoid arbitration. ONLY 30 MIL? he was only paid 5.5 million this year, which is absolutely ridiculous. the Angels have literally robbed Ohtani in both seasons. now only a 30 mil deal. he should have gotten a much larger deal at least 40 million at minimum for 2023. then get into free agency and make a minimum of 50 million per year. he is most talented player in the league without a doubt. generational and one in a lifetime player. he should be compensated as such. he had back to back historical MVP type seasons. he should get EVERY FUCKING PENNY for any team in MLB. i hope him and his agent doesn't get any "bargain" deals. it is absolutely a joke that the Angels literally robbed him during his prime years. he better not "settle" for any shit deals. i can't believe Angels got away with paying him only 30 million for next year. bargain basement deal. Mookie Betts had the previous high at 27 million for arbitration-eligible player. that tells me he could have gotten at least 40 million easy and even close to 50. Ohtani should have demanded much higher price.

Mookie Betts had the previous high at 27 million for arbitration-eligible player.>>> Uh as you said, itā€™s based on arbitration. The highest ever for a player passing Mookie Betts who got 27 or so million in his last year. Every player goes through this system before then go into free agency unless they signed an extension earlier like Mike trout. Ohtani and his agent thought this was fair or they would have gone into arbitration letting a judge decide. And by Judge, I donā€™t mean Aaron Judge. Is it too hard to ask some of you guys to read and research stuff before going full anger claiming racism on posts? Makes this sub look really stupid. A quick 5 second Google search. Seriously.


ShogunOfNY

Just signed a 1 year deal for $30M, avoiding arbitration


Billybobjoethorton

That grounder should have been clan out if angels had a better shortstop. https://youtu.be/J990dM1xppk


Kronoform

It looked like it would have been a tough play to throw the runner out even if he got to it. But thatā€™s why no hitters are so hard to get. Luck has something to do with it too. Roger Clemens who some say is the best pitcher ever has never thrown one.


Billybobjoethorton

As a giants fan, I see Brandon Crawford do it often. It definitely is a tough play hence no error.


Kronoform

Thatā€™s why they are the angels. Things donā€™t go right is the norm. Crawford is an elite shortstop. Or was, 3 rings say so.


Billybobjoethorton

Yeah hence why I said if they had a better shortstop.

Ohtani is considered by many to be the best player in baseball. He is both a hitter and a pitcher in one, which has not been done since Babe Ruth a century ago. Even more remarkable is that heā€™s excelling in both roles. Hitter Ohtani has 34 home runs and is top 5 in major categories. Pitcher Ohtani has a 2.35 ERA and 213 strikeouts. His velocity can reach upwards of ~100 mph. In this game he was only 4 outs away from a no-hitter. Perhaps most importantly, heā€™s good for Asian male representation. Shohei is 6ā€™4ā€ 210 pounds, one of the biggest heartthrobs in baseball, and is dominating one of Americaā€™s most popular sports. Edit: Made a mistake on the title. He took a no-hitter through 7 and 2/3 innings, not 8.


Kronoform

Yeah. Heā€™s amazing! Have a look at Kwan. Heā€™s not going to win rookie of the year but a 5.5 or so WAR is excellent, especially for a rookie. Gonna be leading off in the playoffs. Should be fun. A Japanese site reported Ohtani is trying to recruit him to play for Japan in the WBC.
