Ohtani, I asked the Palms, I said, because I wanted to know what more can you say that hasn't already been said either everywhere and then also on this show.

So take it away.

Roe flow.

I just I want to love on him again for obvious reasons.

Then I want to focus on side angle what he does.

I think.

Your Don Freddie Freeman and now you could put Shohei in that category as like three of the greatest left handed hitters in the current game.

I just wanted to go side angles see how their lower half works see comparison see differences.

It's pretty unbelievable what this guy's been able to do.

And certainly this this recent surge his last 17 games.

Let's get into it.

Twenty six for sixty five a four hundred baton average nine bombs twenty ribbies and an OPS north of fourteen hundred.

Okey dokey.

Boom run that back for me.

Luis Castillo I always look at the bug right to score I'll tell you usually what pitch is coming.

OK.

Ton of respect Luis Castillo is going to have for Shohei Ohtani.

We're in a 1 0 count.

He's got a two nothing lead.

You would assume heater ninety six to ninety eight would sink and run if he takes me up.

Oh so be it run this change up middle of the plate and he is all over it.

Perfect timing dead center.

That is going to be a common theme here.

Back for me his side angle and pause it for a split second.

Common theme.

Not everything's getting pulled.

He is launching balls the series in Texas in globe life.

We're going to get into it.

Some of these shots are just absolutely incredible.

Left on left.

You hear so many left handed hitters talk about when they face left handed pitchers.

It actually helps them because the first thing they want to do is keep that front shoulder tucked.

And he's doing exactly that.

Well let's run this.

Take a look.

The coil is lower half.

We'll get into a little bit later.

I just want to love on the fact that he is on a heater right now.

Slider down and in that six inches off the plate inside gives himself so much space.

Look at where this lands please run that back.

This is a submarine change up to seam slider guy.

That ball's middle in ninety three and he's able to drop the barrel on it and run it for 60 the other way.

Incredible stays tall the chest stays tall.

He has a freedom in his swing.

It's a simplistic move to the baseball left on left right there.

Look at this Will Smith no cheat.

There's nothing going this way.

Set the foot down.

He took a submarine righty to the same spot and then he takes a lefty right there as well.

And then he goes into Kansas

City with a couple more.

Bring up the slug leader board please.

Slugging percentage leader since the start of twenty twenty one.

Mind you none of these guys are the number one starter for their respective club or one of the better starters in the industry.

I'm going to give you a little bit of a sneak peek.

I'm going to give you a little sneak peek.

These are the games best hitters he's surrounded by Aaron Judge

Mike Trout Yordan if you made a list of the greatest hitters in the game right now.

I mean you can argue this is it.

Maybe put a few other guys on there as well.

Let's go get back into it.

So I want to focus on what is your Don do at the plate.

And compare him to Ohtani run this real quick run that back for me.

I want to focus on what is your

Don do at the plate.

Compare me real quick and I want you to focus on one thing we're here in so many every year pause it every year we talk about different code words.

This year everyone wants to talk about getting into the back hip and I see it on a nightly basis.

Robinson Cano used to talk about almost taking this knee and instead of going straight up and down almost getting it this way to engage that back hip Yordan

Alvarez this back hip is ready to fire.

Run this.

So what a show Hey Ohtani lower half look like.

Let's take a look but focus on the back hip.

They both do the same thing.

He does it with a leg kick and he sets it down run it.

Boom.

Run it back one more time but the people at home see it.

What are we going for right.

A teaching moment.

We're not staying right here static.

I'm talking about almost in gate coiling this way.

It almost sets you to where you can't jump.

So if you're at home as a kid and you're here and you set that back hip I watch Bobby with junior do it.

He just kind of sets that hip to where you can't get this way.

Once you get out here you're dead.

Run it.

I also think Freddie Freeman's one of the best hitters if not the best hitter in the sport.

How does he go about it up.

Sets that front foot down beautifully right.

Keeps the head still.

Who else does that.

So he's got a little bit of both.

He's got Freddie free.

That ability to almost make it look like a two strike approach but these guys they are making a two strike approach work for them in any count.

It's incredible.

Run it.

Bring up the spray chart.

Classic.

I mean when in doubt throw up a spray chart right.

But I just wanted to show everyone we see so many hitters right handed hitters where every dot is right over here.

We see so many left handed hitters where.

Look at this.

Where are you going.

And I'll reiterate again.

He's leading the world in home runs and OPS.

And oh by the way he's their number one starter.

It's unbelievable.

He's leading the world in home runs and OPS.

It's unbelievable.
