00:00How about the productivity and efficiency of one particular player?

00:05If ever I'm looking for a wager, I just kind of feel an itch.

00:07It's something I want to throw something on someone.

00:10It's going to be this guy.

00:11Joe, take it away.

00:13Shohei Ohtani is good at baseball.

00:15There you go.

00:16We should just have a segment called Shohei Ohtani is good at baseball at this point.

00:19So Ohtani leading the league in home runs with 16.

00:24He has, let's see, 49 run score.

00:27That's also the first in major league baseball is OPS right now.

00:31Not first.

00:31He's third in OPS.

00:33Okay.

00:33We'll give him a pass there, but the 42 game stretch he's had has been historically good.

00:37He has 15 plus homers, 10 plus stolen bases, 45 runs scored in 25 walks.

00:42Just for context, no other player in major league baseball history has put up those kinds of stats

00:47over any 42 game span at any point in a single season, not Barry Bonds, not Babe Ruth, not Mickey

00:55Again, the stretch he's on and what he's doing is unbelievable.

01:00And if it was happening on the East coast, I think the East coast bias would make Shohei

01:04Ohtani even more of a baseball God than he is already.

01:07I think a lot of people still just don't see enough Shohei Ohtani to appreciate exactly

01:11what's going on.

01:11And I think when you see stats like this, it makes you even appreciate Shohei Ohtani on

01:16a higher level, if that's even possible.

01:18I think so.

01:19I think so.
