8/28 (Wed) 11:17 distribution Tokyo Sports Web Shohei Ohtani and Judge As Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (30) and Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (32) are once again enjoying historic seasons, a debate is brewing over “who is better, Ohtani or Judge?” On the 27th (28th Japan time) on the MLB Network program “MLB Now,” MLB analysts Steve Phillips and “Mad Dog” Christopher Russo had a heated debate on the topic of “Which season would be better: Ohtani’s chances of a 50-50 season or Judge’s chances of hitting 60 home runs?” “I think for me it’s the judges,” Russo said. “His batting average (.333) is better than Ohtani’s (.292), and he’s doing it without a strong lineup that includes (Freddie) Freeman and (Mookie) Betts,” he emphasized. “Ohtani is having a great year, but I’m not that crazy about the base stealing. Willie Mays could have stolen 50 bases a thousand times if he wanted to, and Judge also plays outfield. They’ll both be MVPs, but I think Judge is having the better season.” Phillips countered, “I’ve never seen anyone do 50-50.” “I’ve seen five guys hit over 60 home runs in the past. We’ve never seen what Ohtani is doing (50-50). With that in mind, I see Ohtani as more unique, more special and more productive. You overlooked the 50 stolen bases, but a single became a double and a double became a triple, and I don’t think that should be underestimated in terms of contributions to the team. “There’s a chance that the number of stolen bases could even exceed the difference of 12 to 13 home runs,” he said, giving the edge to Ohtani. One thing the two men agreed on in the debate was that the outcome for both Ohtani and Judge would depend on how they performed in the postseason. The one who gets the World Series championship ring is the winner. ?pri=l&w=640&h=426&exp=10800

The one thing the two men agreed on in the debate was that the outcome for both Ohtani and Judge depends on how they perform in the postseason. The one who gets the World Series championship ring is the winner. In the end, it’s probably these two who think this most.
I know stealing bases is great, but a home run is better The reaction when you successfully steal a base or when you hit a home run Which reaction is more joyful?
>>11 If you compare 60 home runs and 60 stolen bases, you get 60 home runs, so that’s true, but if you compare 60 and 50-50, isn’t it the latter? As for the current comparison between Judge and Ohtani, I think Judge is better because his on-base percentage (far surpasses his batting average) is overwhelming, other than the home runs that are being discussed here.
I wouldn’t argue if the judges say Ohtani is better because their batting averages are three points apart, but if he had eight wins as a pitcher, Ohtani would be the winner.
If only he hadn’t dropped his batting average and kept his chances of winning the triple crown high. It’s a shame that he had a few no-hitters in July and August.
