I mean, do you really think if they put Ohtani at 2nd base or centerfield, he’d be a 28/100 player?? Come on. It’s not like making Shaq a Point Guard. Ohtani would do fine.

Since signing with the Angels he hasn't even played 9 innings of defense at a position other than pitcher. According to Baseball Reference the last time he truly played a defensive position other than pitcher was in 2013 when he was 18. I think it makes perfect sense that his defense would be bad

@@catman-du8927 have you seen him field his position at pitcher? he has great reaction time, many athletic and diving plays, and a huge sample size of throws from tricky angles or sitting down. sure, he’s lacking reps, but he’s in the best shape of his life and a very quick study. I think he’d be a below average infielder but probably not even the worst in the league considering his raw ability and tools

@@ARMTOAST He would be fine in the outfield (rough in center but serviceable). He would definitely struggle in the infield. Fielding at pitcher is completely different than anywhere else in the infield. He would struggle hard at 2B, 3B, & SS for a while until he learns the position which would probably take multiple months. He would struggle at 1B initially but pick it up quickly though short throws may take him a while

"There's never been a left-handed defensive third baseman, shortstop or second baseman..." There actually have been, just not for more than a few games. Most recently, Anthony Rizzo has played both second and third and Don Mattingly not only played an inning at second, but actually played several GAMES at third. To find a shortstop, you need to go all the way back to Lefty Davis.

I mean, as a Phillies fan, I am painfully aware of how much bad defense can kill a game. I am also aware that it is totally possible to out slug defensive shortcomings if you have good pitching. If there is a fatal flaw to the 26 Ohtanis idea, its the third time through the order penalty. Teams that see a pitcher repeatedly have success against them, and if all your pitchers throw the same fastballs and splitters, hitters are eventually going to adjust.

Ohtani doing things that haven’t been done since The Babe, who is considered the GOAT. But yet, they’re going to end up giving the MVP to Judge because he broke the “clean” MLB home run record. Another thing that hurts Ohtani is that he plays for the crappy Angels, while The Babe played for the Yankees. In my opinion, Ohtani should be the MVP.

@@jeffrreysmith1610 I do too. But let me ask you this, other than hitting 62 home runs, what else is Judge doing? Cause Ohtani is putting up numbers with the bat AND pitching. And let me bring this up again, it’s something that hasn’t been done since Babe Ruth did it, and Ruth is considered the GOAT. This is just my opinion, I’m not saying it’s so, but I think the fact that he’s a foreigner AND he plays for a crappy team like the Angels, that’s what hurts him.

I agree it is immeasurably impressive that ohtani can pitch and hit at the level he can in the major leagues today. However, judge accumulated more bWAR just with his bat than ohtani did pitching and hitting (judge: 10.6 oWAR, 0.0 dWAR = 10.6 WAR; ohtani: 3.5 oWAR, -1.7 dWAR, 6.2 pWAR = 8 WAR). Yes, MVP is not based solely on this stat and it also is not a perfect stat, but the fact that judge could put up over 10 WAR in a single season points to just how much of a monster he was at the plate. Plz sign with the Giants Aaron Furthermore, I will add that I think from what he has already shown, ohtani is the most talented baseball player in history, almost objectively, because of his skill set. I don't think we'll ever see another player with his capability on the mound and in the box.
