How many speak English?
Mookie. I think Ohtani can but in interviews uses an interpreter.

Babe Ruth wants to talk with you….lol
The best athlete in the world and the morons at ESPN didn’t even have him in their 4 finalists for Athlete of the Year.
and the Reds the most exciting team. These kids are making it fun. And the one vet Votto has been going deep.
Babe Ruth best all time. I just checked his pitching stats and was amazed. Led the league in ERA one year.

Ruth’s pitching career was over very early, Ohtani has been doing both. The test now is how long can Ohtani do both. He may never approach his hitting numbers, but he could blow away the pitching. That could place Ohtani top 5-10 all time.
If he is still pitching at an elite level 5 years from now, he’s the GOAT. How many shutouts did Willie Mays throw? What was Mickey Mantle’s XFIP? Who would be ahead of him? How many black, Latin and Asian players did Ruth play against?

Switch the two players.
Babe is trying his best to get to single A ball in today's game.....
Ohtani is so dominant he's probably burned at the stake for being some kind of "witch".
The Babe is a cool story but probably not a top 5000 player of the game outside his era.
You can't compare players in the 1920s to today. Babe Ruth was the most dominant player in his prime at that time and it wasn't close. He hit more HRs than some teams. Then pitching he threw 35 complete games one year and 9 shut outs another year.
We don't know what he would do today. He may have been a workout warrior eating proper nutrition. If he saw a 95 MPH fastball baseball through the minor leagues, he may have adapted. He can't be penalized for something we don't know. We can just compare him to others at that same time.

I'm looking at some of Ruth's stats now :

Ruth never had 3000 hits…that’s because he walked over 2000 times….
Getting back to De La Cruz, he's not the best rookie on the Reds. He's the second best SS on the team.

Overreaction, hope to see him in the playoffs, 4 HRs & 14 RBIs & 8 SBs in August
anybody that whiffs that much 37.8 % cannot hit, although early for that kid on the reds..... he has to make contact or he will be out of MLB
tatis of the padres when he first came up did the same thing. then the drugs
my man swarber .226 lifetime whiffs at 28%
in the history of the game only judge has got away with a lifetime high strikeout rate at 28.8% and a .281 avg..............his avg will continue to drop it is early.
easier to be a slugger than a great hitter

A by product of the steroid era. This is what they teach. Most cannot situationally hit anymore. Many more can't hit to the opposite field.
