Roger Clemens thoroughly analyzes Shohei Ohtani’s dual pitching and hitting style. The legendary pitcher, who won the Cy Young Award seven times, explains his spectacular performance in the battle for the top spot in the division from a pitcher’s perspective. Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and maintaining his ERA in the 0-0 range. When he batted, he reached a batting average of .300 with 3 hits and 5 runners on base, and his OPS jumped to first in the league. Clemens was astonished from the start, saying, “A batting average of .30 and an ERA of 0.7. Is it okay for a player like this to exist?” What should be noted is the first battle. In the top of the first inning, Ohtani sprinted to rip off an infield hit and immediately took the mound at the bottom of the inning. Clemens pointed out that this scene was “an act that puts an extremely heavy load on the lower body.Normally, it wouldn’t be surprising if he messed up his ball control,” and highly praised Ohtani’s mental game in which he used the pitch clock to the limit to regulate his breathing and throw off the timing of the opposing batter. Otani continued to pitch perfect pitches until the third inning, but in the fourth inning he saw several pitches go inside the course. Clemens analyzed this as being caused by fatigue in his lower body from running the bases at full speed. However, Otani changed his pitching style on the spot to slow down the pitch and allow grounders to hit due to his tired body. Clemens praised this self-correction ability as “the best technique that a first-class ace should have.” Furthermore, this stadium is dry, making it easy for spikes to get caught and for balls to fly easily. Despite the difficult conditions that Clemens himself faced during his playing days, Ohtani was able to put into practice the ideal pitch of gathering the pitch low and allowing him to hit a ground ball. He described the way he understands the characteristics of the environment and overcomes it with skill and intelligence as “true pitching theory.” What was most impressive was the fact that he got on base more than he allowed his opponents to get on base. I got 3 hits for the 2 hits I gave. Clemens said, “These are numbers that go beyond the norm in baseball, and are possible because he has incredible self-control and technique in both pitching and hitting.” In summary, Clemens stated that there is a good chance that Ohtani will win the Cy Young Award and MVP at the same time this season. He said the key to that is whether he can avoid injuries and continue self-correction until the end of the season. The legendary pitcher thoroughly revealed the character of Shohei Otani, who continues to rewrite history not only with his talent but also with his adaptability to the environment and high intelligence. ■About the production policy for this video (Important) The videos on this channel are original content that focuses on audio commentary, structure, and discussion.
