How about Ohtani hitting a cool .583 so far this spring. The sky is the limit IF he can stay healthy

Trueblue · 03-11-2021, 06:08 PM

He looks a lot more balanced. Looked like he was hitting a pinata last year. Encouraging spring overall. Can't wait for his Saturday start

*.538 but still outstanding.

Another opposite field line drive and then legged out an infield single.

The stud can do it all.
What's next, he takes up catching?

BigSlim16 · 03-13-2021, 03:36 PM

Ohtani is back on the mound today!

Gave up a leadoff double then retired the side with a popout and 2 Ks

Robert just took him yard.

Yup, he’s getting hit around a little here in the 2nd

LVDan · 03-13-2021, 04:15 PM

Clearly he’s dialed in at the plate and has serious gas to offer on the bump. Just not sure there’s enough hours in the day to hone in the command to a point to be consistent as a SP without losing the hitting rhythm. I’d be tempted soon to let him go a couple times a week as a high leverage reliever and lock in the 35/100 at the plate.
Incredible talent.

Supposedly his pitching warm up routine take like 4 hours or something,, so you cant really use him as a reliever.

edit: if Adelll wasnt doing Adell things in the OF, Ohtani would have done a lot better.

Right? No help from the defense or the reliever they replaced him with

PitchingNinja broke down an at bat someone had against him yesterday and it was just video game stupid. He called him one of the best pitchers in baseball and Shane Bieber agreed.

Ohtani is going to have a big year at
the plate for the Angels this year,
regardless of what he does on the mound.

Trueblue · 03-15-2021, 05:12 PM

Monster. He also got faster this year too. His HP to 1st time went down by 1/10 second. previous to that, he had the third fastest time in the majors. Wonder if he moves up the list.

Rage · 03-15-2021, 06:26 PM

2/3 with 2 opposite field blasts today!
Both solo shots batting 2nd

Brings his ST slash line up to .563/.556/1.125 for a monster 1.681 OPS

Love to see it!

towerymt · 03-15-2021, 07:02 PM

Rookie Debuts are a thing now, right?

NYRE2PECT · 03-15-2021, 07:12 PM

Showtime!

Was just able to watch the highlights, his lower half is VERY quiet right now. Let’s go!

I'm not an Ohtani collector, I sold my Raw Ohtani Sapphire for $500 last month, but I still kept my two Rookie Autos I pulled.

I love the Optic one despite being a pajama. It's the FOTL Parallel numbered to 12

Now the Angels just need to figure out a way to get Ohtani, Trout, and Rendon hot at the same time (and pray that the bullpen isn't a complete disaster again)

Rage · 03-15-2021, 07:57 PM

Some more love for the RD

seanbros55 · 03-15-2021, 08:49 PM

If you’re wondering why he’s doing so well, it’s because I sold my pack pulled 1983 Platinum 1/1 auto from Update in Feb...you’re welcome.
