[Legendary Day]First time in history! Pitcher Otani hits a home run as the first batter! Legendary pitcher Maddux praises Shohei Ohtani! What are the chances of winning the Cy Young Award? Big Papi explains

Tonight at Petco Park, we witnessed another moment in baseball history being rewritten. The battle for first place in the National League West Division is just 0.5 games apart. The Dodgers’ No. 1 pitcher, Shohei Ohtani, hit a home run to the first batter on the first pitch. He provided cover for himself before taking the mound, then pitched five scoreless innings to earn his fourth win of the season, a performance that would be hard to imagine in a manga. In today’s video, in addition to providing a thorough explanation of this historic match, we also summarize discussions from Major League legends about Shohei Ohtani’s chances of winning the Cy Young Award. ⚾️ Challenging for the Cy Young Award: Legends’ Perspectives The focus of the discussion is whether Ohtani can reach the top as a pitcher. ■ Perspective of Greg Maddux (four-time Cy Young Award winner) Maddux clearly says, “I want him to focus on pitching.” The reason for this is the “preparation time between pitches”, which is the most important for pitchers. Video analysis of opposing batters, pitch arrangement, and body care. A week has passed with just this, and this is praise from a pure pitcher’s perspective, saying it’s a waste to have to practice and play as a batter at the same time as reducing his potential as a pitcher. ■ From the perspective of David Ortiz (541 home runs total) On the other hand, Ortiz, also known as “Puppy,” emphasizes his accomplishments as a hitter. Only six players in major league history have hit 50 or more home runs two years in a row. Since Ohtani is in that area, he insists that he has no choice but to step up to the plate. 🧠 Shohei Otani’s true strength is his “transformative intelligence.” What Mr. Maddux praised most highly this time was Ohtani’s “IQ.” Normal pitchers have their own “style,” but Ohtani can completely change his style every time he pitches. ・In one game, he dominated with a fastball of 160km/h. ・In the next match, I will miss the timing with splits and curves. ・In another game, let him hit a grounder with fewer pitches. Analyzing the legendary right-hander, “While his greatest weapon is speed, he toyed with the opponent with the ability to draw out many things like a veteran.This is the decisive difference between him and other young Australian pitchers.” ⚠️ Mookie Betts talks about the “paralysis of the world” The words of his teammate Mookie Betts reveal the abnormality of the current baseball world. “People get all excited when Shohei doesn’t get a hit for a few games, but people forget that right before that he was dominating the seventh inning on the mound.” Even if he does a perfect job on the mound, he will be criticized if his hitting is just a little sluggish. No player in baseball history has been faced with such a tough hurdle. We may have become too accustomed to his “substandard daily life.” 📊 Key to winning the Cy Young Award Reporters vote not only for the numbers but also for the story. The complete story of becoming the most dominant pitcher in the league while continuing to play two-way. Although he has a high hurdle of reaching the required number of innings pitched (162 innings), it is predicted that if he maintains the top in ERA and strikeouts and reaches around 160 innings, reporters will vote for this historic story. Do you want Ohtani to focus on pitching and aim for the Cy Young Award? Or do you want “Legend of Dual Wielding” to continue to be updated?
