my previous favorite baseball moment (up until this at bat) was Ichiro vs Lim Chang-yong in the 2009 WBC final. The intensity from that at bat was unrivaled until today. On one side it was Ichiro representing Japan, enough said. On the other side was Lim, the best closer Korea had at the time. Both country have a strong sense of national pride, not to mention they are age-old rivals especially when it comes to baseball. (On a side note, Korea provoked Japan in the previous round by planting a flag on the mount after winning on the Japanese home soil, but Japan still got through the round) Top of the 10th inning, with each country's pride on the line, Lim Chang-yong was giving it all and Ichiro was taking it in like a quiet samurai that he is. Lim was dishing consecutive heaters with movement, but Ichiro stood his ground, foul tipping Lim 3 times facing a 2-2 count, and finally sending the ball to centre field giving Japan the lead and Japan closed it out in the final inning. Another anecdote here is Lim was actually given the sign to either walk Ichiro, or pitch around the zone. However he ignored it and proceeded to take on Ichiro. This just shows how important a 1st-tier international competition (like FIFA world cup) is for the sport. I didn't think that moment could be topped at the time, who knew we'd be blessed with Ohtani just so soon after? What a time to be alive as a baseball fan, which the WBC has re-ignited me to be.

We are moved because it is a matchup of heroes against heroes. This is a matchup that will go down in baseball history.

He literally threw that pitch over and over against the Astros/Red Sox last year in multiple games. His sweeper and backdoor sliders are his bread and butter. He was known for his splitter in the beginning but he hasn't used it as much. He can hit 100s with his fastball but they aren't good because not enough spin and thus dip. In other word, his slider is his best pitch so making this pitch isn't that difficult for him. What's difficult was to set it up with those fastballs so Trout would bite.

When the semifinal ended I thought we couldn't get better than that, that was another great match, classic ending, then we had this final

Look at Ohtani’s eyes, no doubt at all. That’s confidence forged into steel from all the naysayers who said he couldn’t succeed as a hitting pitcher from little league thru high school into JBL and majors. (The JBL manager who believed in him and got him ready for his dream of dual-threat in MLB was Kuriyama, Samurai Japan’s skipper. He and Ohtani are tied at hip in Japan baseball lore)

I believe that this was undoubtedly the best moment of the baseball event this year. At this time, Shohei Ohtani also said that the outcome would be either a strikeout or a home run. It was truly a joy to be able to watch the best moment in real-time.

I'm so thankful this happened in my lifetime. Thank you, baseball.

This is Anime.　The final pitcher　was Shohei Ohtani and final hitter was Mike Trout. Such a script is too ordinary to be written by a screenwriter. But truth is stranger than fiction. Thank you to two great teams, Japan and America.

Shohei is the greatest athletic talent Ive seen since Bo Jackson. He's the only professional athlete that I can compare him with. Bo was a superstar in baseball and football. Shohei is a superstar as a pitcher and batter. I hope he stays healthy because this is really special.

​​​​​@Mike Jennsenn Clearly you didn't watch either of his sports during Bo's peak. Bo was an All Star in 1989 and a pro bowler in 1990. That's genuinely insane to even be competing for in your career, to be a top level player in two sports, and everyone who watched either sport in 1989 and 1990 knew how special peak Bo was. There's a reason why the only peer he had was Deion Sanders, a hall of fame NFL player and a serviceable centerfielder. His superstardom was just incredibly short lived in large part due to injuries. An injury in the playoffs of the 1990 NFL season basically cut short his football career and severe problems with his hip needing an outright replacement after said football playoff injury basically kept him from being able to play like peak Bo in the MLB, which contributed to a sharp decline an early retirement. But people don't talk about the "fizzled out" years when they talk about the greats, else we'd be calling Ken Griffey Jr overrated. On top of that, superstardom isnt just by being good, it's by being incredibly high profile and famous. Bo was absolutely one of the most famous athletes in the late 80s. Dude was in all sorts of commercials, appeared in television shows, kids who watched sports at the time idolized Bo. *That's* what made him a superstar.

@@bmac4 well said... it was Bo ability to play 2 sports at an elite level that made him a superstar that even the players where fans and marveled at what he was able to do. I remember Bo and had never seen anything like it until now with Ohtani. That you can do 2 things that others dedicate their entire careers playing just one. I dont understand why people look for reasons to downplay something so rare and the crazy part is that they try to compare 2 different elite players that might be slightly better at one thing to someone who can do both. To me he is the new version of Bo even though Shohei is doing it in the same sport but 2 completely different positions. I just hope he stays healthy because we saw what happened to Bo. Sometimes being so gifted can be a curse. He literally has Jordan level talent for the sport of baseball. Where Jordan was not only the best offensive player in his prime he was also the best defensive player. He was ready to come in from the bullpen to close the game after playing offense the whole game and to come in to finish the game the way he did in the biggest stage possible against one of the best players of all time. The heart, fearlessness and leardeship he showed combined with his talent was jordanesque. He is just so special and great for the sport of baseball. There is nothing you can tell me to change my views of what Ohtani is doing. I have been watching sports for almost 40 years and have seen some great athletes in pro sports. He is without a doubt an extremely rare breed. Lets appreciate and enjoy it while it last! I'm an American who has also proudly served as an airborne ranger and I can care less he is Japanese because I love the sport that we created. He can and will inspire little kids not only in America but all over the world.

This man who is strong on the big stage will surely be a big help to the Dodgers.

I come from a basketball-crazy nation where I’m pretty sure the general populace knows next to nothing about baseball. Without Ohtani, I probably would have remained ignorant on just how beautiful and exciting a sport baseball is. I’ve always a had huge respect for all athletes and all sports, but I’ve never really fully appreciated just how technical and how difficult baseball is until I started watching highlights of Shohei in 2021. Now I’m learning more and more about baseball, and appreciating more players. So happy that Japan and Shohei won this one. Can’t wait for the next Classic!

I hope baseball fans enjoyed this moment. Two prime players are essentially the "best of the best" in their craft facing each other. It rarely happens.

This matchup will be talked about in baseball circles for decades! Historic moment for baseball.

There was no loser on the match. Japan was strong in every way, but the USA also played great. Victory may be a matter of luck. Thanks to all the teams in WBC.

In case, if you haven't watched many Shohei Ohtani's highlights of 2021, I would suggest you to find VTR clips of titles like 'Shohei doing everything' or clips of 'Shohei running and stealing bases'. You can find 2021VTR of Shohei stealing home and doing double steals etc. Shohei had 26 steals in 2021 because he was being walked a lot in the 2nd half season due to lack of Trout and Rendon's protections due to injuries; in order to win the games after being walks, Shohei tried to steal as many as he could and always ran for extra bases. Since Shohei got totally healthy from many injuries in 2021, at that time the opponent teams didn't know that Shohei is actually one of the fastest runners in MLB and got stunned by the Ace pitcher and leading homer leader kept stealing bases or couldn't even stop him from stealing bases (they walked him but he could even steal home) 😂! Those VTRs are funnier and more interesting than just seeing Shohei's 46 HR and strikeouts clips(they are great clips too but, for baseball newcomers, Shohei's running and stealing bases in 2021 were epic. Since 2022 & 2023 Angels managers did not allow Shohei to steal bases much). Shohei's infield (during pitching) and outfield defenses (some Shohei outfield defense VTRs are from Japan) were great entertainments too, especially in 2021. Once you watched all those clips, you would fall in love with Shohei, the 'baseball player'. Shohei literally is the only baseball player in the world doing everything in baseball and do all of them in the toppest level (hitting, pitching, running, and defensing). In 2022, "Shohei in two days" from MLB VTR is also another good choice. Shohei hit two 3-run HR and made record high 8RBI in the 1st night game [yet Angels lost], and so Shohei started in the next day's game and struck out record high 13 hitters and made some hits and eventually won the game. Of course, this was another new historical baseball records Shohei made in consecutive games in two days (never happened before in the whole US baseball history). For outfield defense, you can look up KZread about Shohei's outfield defense (from his Japanese Professional and high school years), there is not much to be found. It's far more interesting to watch Shohei throwing baseballs more than 100 or 200 meters back to third base or home base. Shohei also used to have warmup practice throwing baseballs over 100 meters away back and forth with teammates.

Both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout proved that teams are strong when they have great teammates. I think it's a message to the Angels

Ohtani is a legend. I will never forget that man for as long as I live. He had 100 years on the line his family’s name on the line!! He’s on the mound throwing 100 mph heat! I’m not even a baseball guy! The last time I actually watched was Sammy and Mark Barry and Randy standing 6’10 on the mound!! If it’s gonna be epic battles like this yea I’ll be watching again. That was amazing MLB got it right.. take this in the lab guys and bottle it you need it baseball needs more of this!!
