Hey MLB, think we should try marketing a player like Ohtani? You know try to bring in new fans.
MLB: "Nah"

And when would that be? When hes in his 30s over a long deal that severely hinders the organization during the inevitable decline?

Japan is basically AAAA baseball. Every Japanese player mentioned the skill level in MLB is much higher.

You mean the 60 game season after the weirdest offseason imaginable? Also, that 22 hrs as a rookie would tie his best HR year in Japan. Not to mention the year after where he hit like .286 with 18 hrs. Only down year was last season coming back from Tommy John, which effects you as a hitter a bit.

Ohtani is focusing less on throwing 98-100 mph, which was causing blisters on his hands sapping his control and instead destroying people with 95 mph heaters and his devastating splitter.

One could say he stopped trying so hard.

He aged three years and got more acclimated to MLB.

Guy was 23/24 his first year in the majors. Most Japanese players that come over are veterans and that process isnt as hard. They also normally only have to focus on one side too.

Expecting him to be Trout and deGrom on day 1 was dumb for anyone to believe in tbh.

Im just bitter my team did a bunch to get international money and he said no. Glad hes succeeding on a team they somehow disappoints more than my Ms.

national sports media doesn't care about anything west of the mississipi except for the dodgers

Mike Trout should be even more famous considering he's God's gift to baseball

7 hrs isnt gonna do it against a guy with 3x as many who also has a 3.30 era over 50 innings. Theres a reason Wendle got 4th.

Because MLB is so bad at marketing. There's a bunch of good young talent in the league like Fernando Tatis Jr, Juan Soto, Ronald Acuna Jr, Vladimir Guerrero Jr... these are superstar type of players and the oldest one of these is only 23 and yet no one outside of baseball has heard of these guys. It's a damn shame.
