Shohei Ohtani is the world’s most searched-for athlete on Google...he is of great interest even outside of baseball powerhouses such as the UK and Spain.
Record-breaking Shohei Ohtani is the world’s most searched-for athlete on Google. High interest even outside of baseball powerhouses such as the UK and Spain. Shohei Ohtani of the MLB Los Angeles Dodgers started as the leadoff hitter and designated hitter in the game against the Colorado Rockies on September 28th, recording two hits in five at-bats. On September 19th, in a game against the Miami Marlins on the road, he had 6 hits in 6 at-bats, 10 RBIs, 3 home runs, and 2 stolen bases, achieving a season record of 51 hits and 51 stolen bases. Since then, he has continued to perform well, leaving a lasting impression in the records and with a batting average of over 90% in scoring position. According to a post on the x-page of gossipnews, a media outlet that distributes sports news, Ohtani was the most searched-for athlete on Google between September 21st and 27th local time, beating out soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and basketball player LeBron James. He is the only baseball player to surpass Ronaldo and Messi in search volume since 2001. When broken down by country, it ranks high in countries where baseball is popular, such as the United States, Japan, and South Korea (1st), Mexico (3rd), and the Netherlands (8th). On the other hand, there was also high interest in other countries, such as Brazil and the UK, where it ranked 9th, and Spain, where it ranked 10th. Ohtani’s historic performance has not only sent baseball fans around the world into a frenzy, but it may also be contributing to increasing the popularity of baseball.
>>1 Well, I don’t think anyone would bother to look into Cristiano Ronaldo They’re just looking into some unknown person who suddenly appeared on the news so maybe someone in a position like Ohtani is easier to look into.
Japanese baseball mass media, the world, the world, the world, ahh “The most unknown superstar in the world” 101.4 billion yen Shohei Otani is unknown in Europe, an unusual commentary article ht “Baseball is a sport that harsh experts despise as dying out. Because baseball is too long, too boring and not very entertaining. They are proud of their traditions and the game has remained largely unchanged. It is not a sport that receives much attention around the world, but the situation is different in the United States, Central America, Japan and South Korea. However, if you ask around Europe, no one is interested in this sport, except for a few enthusiasts.”
It’s funny how this is a brilliant point out that baseball is in decline worldwide, boring, and unchanging.
Shohei Otani is famous even in the UK, where baseball is said to be hardly played. For example, cricket is hardly played in Japan, but cricketer Yuvraj Singh is incredibly famous, right? It’s the same thing.
Thanks to Ohtani, baseball will spread all over the world. If that happens, baseball will replace war and bring about world peace. Maybe he’ll even win a Nobel Peace Prize someday.
Kim Min-jae, the monster who is the absolute regular CB for the prestigious Bayern Munich 190cm tall and with this physique, he can run at 34.3km/h 19-year-old Otani 19-year-old Kim Min-jae.
>>42 Kim Min-jae is a big culprit in every game, but he’s only playing because of injuries, so he’s a candidate for release, and he’s not at a level comparable to Ohtani. Even Koreans may compare him to Son Heung-min, but they never compare him to Kim.
The thing that I don’t understand the most is that according to Google Trends, Ohtani is far more well-known in the UK than Mitoma, and I don’t understand why.
>>59 Even in America, he’s on the same level as Stephen Curry, so it’s no surprise. Google Trends: Ohtani 17, Curry 19, Jokic 9 trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=us&q=%2fm%2f0nb273g,%2fm%2f0dw15r,%2fm%2f0110q02h&hl=ja.
>>59 His annual salary is so far above that of other athletes, including Mitoma, that he is often in the news due to the Ippei incident and his historic achievements, so Otani is more likely to be a trend.
The fact that articles like this about Ohtani’s incredible searches come out regularly must mean that Ohtani must have some kind of complex about being so unknown around the world.
