2) if he starts commanding his FB better and builds up that callus, you're looking at 100-120 IP of SP1 production

If either of 1) or 2) occur with even a midpoint outcome for the other, his prices will probably go up 30-40% incremental. If 1) and 2) both occur, you're looking at a ridiculous multiple that will make today's prices look like steals.

This guy gets it. And it's why ohtani without question is the biggest high risk high reward investment out there right now.

Works for me! I’ve got a few cards of his . Also got an Ohtani frame in the works that I dropped off today. Should be able to share it in a week.

Please share! I've been thinking about curating and framing all of Ohtani rookie year Topps now cards (Both English/Japanese). Most are in slabs but I think it would be a cool timeline view. I was supposed to keep going till I had all PSA 10s but I admittedly got fatigued and some are 9s. Topps Now Ohtani cards were a marathon in 2018 - every time he scratched his nuts they made a card

Looks clean! That one was a tough parallel to gem.

I’m going simpler on his, but here my others:

That bat drop tho.

He is so exciting to watch.

Post-game update had Maddon commenting that Ohtani could start as soon as Wednesday if session goes well tomorrow. Clearly won't be facing Glasnow (no scheduled pitcher) so a great opportunity to grab a win.

Did Mantle/Maris played for the Marlins? That's frustrated Angels sarcasm. They are truly a dynamic duo who will do amazing things this year all the while the Angels pitching staff throws BP. Now ranked 28th at 5.04 runs per game.

Ohtani/Trout/Walsh/Rendon is like having Ruth/Mantle/Maris/Dimaggio in the lineup while a bunch of little leaguers pitch and play defense.
