00:00How about the productivity and efficiency of one particular player?
00:05If ever I'm looking for a wager, I just kind of feel an itch.
00:07It's something I want to throw something on someone.
00:10It's going to be this guy.
00:11Joe, take it away.
00:13Shohei Ohtani is good at baseball.
00:15There you go.
00:16We should just have a segment called Shohei Ohtani is good at baseball at this point.
00:19So Ohtani leading the league in home runs with 16.
00:24He has, let's see, 49 run score.
00:27That's also the first in major league baseball is OPS right now.
00:31Not first.
00:31He's third in OPS.
00:33Okay.
00:33We'll give him a pass there, but the 42 game stretch he's had has been historically good.
00:37He has 15 plus homers, 10 plus stolen bases, 45 runs scored in 25 walks.
00:42Just for context, no other player in major league baseball history has put up those kinds of stats
00:47over any 42 game span at any point in a single season, not Barry Bonds, not Babe Ruth, not Mickey
00:54Mantle.
00:55Again, the stretch he's on and what he's doing is unbelievable.
01:00And if it was happening on the East coast, I think the East coast bias would make Shohei
01:04Ohtani even more of a baseball God than he is already.
01:07I think a lot of people still just don't see enough Shohei Ohtani to appreciate exactly
01:11what's going on.
01:11And I think when you see stats like this, it makes you even appreciate Shohei Ohtani on
01:16a higher level, if that's even possible.
01:18I think so.
01:19I think so.
01:19I think so.
