 2018 Rookie of the Year Shohei Otani had himself a day. The other day, he was the leadoff batter and the starting pitcher. This one's brought to you by DraftKings. Go to DraftKings, download the app, use promo code Johnboy, place some bets on Shohei. He's batting leadoff here. Little single off Blake Snell, sigh young winner, no big deal to open up the game. On first, hair blowing in the wind, saying thank you, the outfielders looking glorious. And then he's on the mound, the next inning, throwing heaters right down the middle, throwing a little split. It's actually not a great pitch right there. Now he's about to strike out Tatees Jr. on a nasty split. Tatees still cool even though he strikes out. Look at that, just darts down. Here's another one. Little get me over curve ball, first pitch curve ball. See that loop to it? Nice little loop drops in, then he's gonna go with the splitter which darts down. Both vertical movement, but doing it in two different ways, then he's just gonna go fastball right down the middle. He's late on that, gets the out. Shohei was doing it both ways. Strike right there, that splitter is nasty. And that's another splitter. And that's a curve ball. And that's strike two. And that's a nasty splitter. Staying away from the plate, kind of a very pathetic at bat there. Now he's at the plate again, facing Blake Snell again. He goes one and one, he fouls that pitch off, he takes that one for ball two, takes that one for ball three, takes that one for ball four. Blake Snell jumps and twirls in frustration. Now he's back on the mound and he's getting strikeouts and he's thanking the ump. Yes, good call, I agree with you. I thought for a second you weren't gonna do it. Little get me over curve ball, pitch one. Another strike on that outside, well it's inside now. Man, and then a really good catch in foul territory. Just a fantastic bare handed jump, number 17, Otani tries to give the ball to little kids. Little kids say, no dude, don't want it. He's like, they didn't want it. I guess it's just mine now, hurt my hand. It's pretty cool, huh? It's a really good catch. Otani then strikes out the batter. What an outing. Here he is against Melanson, he's got a nice curve ball and he sits on that and sends it oppo to the wall. His swing weirds me out, man. It weirds me out. He gets thrown out at second here because he came off the bag a little bit but look at this swing. The hips are out. It looks like he's like not fully on it and the ball just flies. He sent that to the wall. Oppo, kid is strong, really strong. But he did fall off the base a little bit and get tagged out. I mean, go to DraftKings, download the app, use promo code Johnboy. You can put $5 on Shohei to win MVP and you'd win 165 bucks right now. And if he's doing it on both sides of the ball, even if he's just a B plus on both sides of the ball, I don't know, I think that's pretty damn valuable. You want him to win just the side young? $5, you win $200. Go to DraftKings, play some fun bets. Don't break the bank, don't hurt yourself. I mean, if Otani can do it on both sides of the ball, all season, we are in for a treat.
