Do you know that when Shohei Ohtani was a member of the Hokkaido Fighters, a Japanese professional baseball team, he was strictly forbidden by his manager and coach from stealing bases, which had a high probability of causing injury.
That is why he could not run in Japan even if he wanted to.
Therefore, his stolen base record in Japan was poor, and even when he was transferred to MLB, those who only looked at Shohei’s past records overlooked his ability.
Still, it is said that Shohei wanted to run for a stolen base every time he was banned.
Their decision to ban Shohei from stealing bases is understandable because the team would not want him, the mainstay of pitching & hitting, to get injured.
Why does Shohei always try to steal a base without worrying about the risk of injury?
It is because he believes it is the duty of a baserunner to advance to the next base for the team’s victory.
As Shohei often says, achieving his own record is a means to the team’s championship, and it happens in the process, not as a goal in itself.
Shohei’s seemingly unselfish lack of interest in achieving individual records can be attributed to his upbringing in Japanese high schools, where the goal was to win the Koshien Sudden Death Tournament.
He believes that if his team does not win the championship in the end, he has lost in the game of baseball.
Aaron Judge’s hitting seems to be a little sluggish lately perhaps due to the pressure of achieving the record.
However, Shohei’s lack of concern for personal records and unselfishness may be the driving force behind his ability to keep a calm mind and achieve new records easily and without hesitation, even in the face of a major accomplishment.
The only time that Shohei feels nervous and overwhelmed may be when he sees the possibility of winning the World Series just a step away.
