Read that again, when someone gets on in front of him he’s hitting alomost .800.
Not in MLB The Show, not in Wiffleball, in his first trip to the postseason.
Maybe balk guys in on purpose so he then doesn’t have anyone on base?

Again, that is truly unbelievable.
This is a guy who feeds off the pressure of the playoffs.
You need a big hit with a guy on second?

Get a guy on and get Shohei a bat.
From the outside looking in Shohei’s playoff numbers don’t jump off the page at you….
But when you realize he’s hitting .778 with guys on base you’ll take it.
Plus he still gets on base at an above average rate so you live with it.
But until then he’ll just keep mashing with guys on base and boy is that terrifying for baseball.
Every time I see this clip I crack up.
I can’t believe Mike Francesa was THIS wrong about Ohtani.
Truly an all time take.
