✹The PERENNIAL Shohei Ohtani Thread✹

pcptrade · 01-11-2019, 07:42 PM

I created the 2019 Thread but thought it makes sense to have just one thread for the future. Lets try to stick to one thread to avoid confusion.

My recent pick up (Ohtani 2018 Topps Transcendent/83)

That is the point, otherwise we will have more every year!

We just had a similar discussion at one of many Acuna threads

When will he return to hitting in an MLB game?

You guess is as good as mine. My guess is hitting- 2019 and Pitching-2020. His TJ surgery was successful.

https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohta...ul/c-296823034

Taken from the above article

Position players typically return to the field in less time following Tommy John, such as Yankees rookie infielder Gleyber Torres, who missed about half a season in 2017 after tearing the UCL in his non-throwing elbow. Dodgers star Corey Seager underwent Tommy John surgery this past May and is expected to be on the team's Opening Day roster in 2019. Other notable position players to receive the surgery include former MLB outfielder Carl Crawford, Angels infielder Zack Cozart, Twins third baseman Miguel Sano and Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez -- all of whom were able to return to the field in a year's time or less. Ohtani could theoretically return next season and log significant time as Los Angeles' designated hitter while still allowing his elbow to recover for an eventual return to the mound.

Yeah, I saw it. The non auto superfractor sold for $1750. I was focused on Acuna and Soto at that time and missed it

HarryLime · 01-12-2019, 08:29 AM

Yeah perennial!

I'll post it again because it's the only decent Ohtani I have. I really need to make a point of targeting a few Ohtanis this year. His value is going to be suppressed until '20, I think. I love that Transcendent!

I ripped two Value packs the other day and crapped myself when I hit this.

Congrats once again on the hit

I agree, currently his prices are low and this might be the right time to pick up his cards for cheap. Ohtani Transcendent/83 sells for around $100-150 whereas Acuna's Transcendent/83 sells for $350-$400. I have both but just saying the price difference is almost three times!

HarryLime · 01-12-2019, 09:14 AM

I don't see them DHing him more than 3-4x a week this year. I think his cards will be under the radar all year. But I imagine now is probably the low point, with such a small 2019 outlook ahead. I might have to jump on one of those Transcendent at those prices.

I created the 2019 Ohtani thread. Now that we are close to 2020, lets stick to this thread instead of creating a 2020 thread. Showoff your Ohtani cards!

During his 2018 season, he only pitched on Sunday's. You think Trout puts fans in seats? See Ohtani. On his Sunday home pitching games, he basically sells out the stadium and the Asian community turns out in herds. They cheer for him like crazy. Nobody leaves the seats when he's pitching, people take bathroom breaks when the Angels bat. And when Ohtani gets pulled out of the game, about 90% of the stadium empties. I hope this atmosphere continues during his starts.
