[BONUS] 6 Ridiculous Shohei Ohtani Stats from 2022

Just put this one together for you all, Patreon peeps. There won't be any sort of "Year of Ohtani" type video this year, but I wanted to celebrate Shohei's accomplishments in 2022 with a less formal take on his season. Please enjoy, and thank you for supporting via Patreon!

[BONUS] 6 Ridiculous Shohei Ohtani Stats from 2022

McNeil's a lefty who has one of those swings that carries him out the box. He doesn't have the highest top end speed, but I suspect he's getting a boost simply by virtue of having a head start down the line.

When you showed the home-to-first stat, Jeff McNeil was the 7th fastest runner to first, but he is the 295th fastest runner overall. How can a player have such a large disparity in those stats?

Will Kaplan

Not the same concept. I feel like there is a little difference between English to Spanish versus English to Japanese. I difference being every Dominican, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, etc. player can still communicate fluently as most are bilingual, and even if they didn’t know, a single English word, could still interact in the dugout, on field, or wherever. Ohtani does not exactly have the option to interact other than to a minimal degree. In the absence of that, the only thing to focus on is the game and whatever is in his brain.

The leaderboard seemed pretty proportional to me in terms of native English vs non-English speakers

Q+A coming soon?

No right or wrong answer, but just your thoughts… first stat of high leverage OPS or OPS+… to what degree do you think the minimized distractions/interactions as a result of the language barrier play a factor? Ridiculously nuanced, and nothing could prove my theory I don’t believe, but to be as successful in such high pressure situations, ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL/STAGE requires superhuman focus. This is not to say he would not be successful regardless. Just an interesting ponder.
