I learned about “Shohei Ohtani” in my school’s moral textbook!

TOM

I’m Shohei Ohtani, who is currently breaking multiple records in the majors as a two-way player in American baseball.

If he achieves 10 wins, he will reach “double-digit wins & double-digit home runs” since Babe Ruth (Red Sox) in 1918, along with more than 20 homers already hit. “One win after the first big record in 104 years.”

What kind of person is Babe Ruth? “How did Shohei Otani achieve his dreams and goals?”

I will answer these questions.

Shohei Ohtani’s results are better than Babe Ruth’s because of the difference in personality?

Conclusion: Shohei Otani said, “To realize a dream,” he visualized his goals and actions.

In this article, what kind of person was Shohei Ohtani, who jumped over Babe Ruth? And Shohei Ohtani summarized how he has achieved his dreams and goals so far.

Shohei Ohtani Achieves Double-Digit Wins & Double-Digit Home Runs for First Time in 104 Years Since Babe Ruth!

On August 9th, 2022 (10th Japan time), on his 4th attempt, he accomplished a feat! Babe Ruth Sase “Double-digit wins & double-digit home runs” has only been achieved once in 1918 when he was 23 years old with “13 wins & 11 home runs”.
This is the second major record in the history of the majors, but Ohtani’s achievement is the third time he has achieved it, including his time at Nippon-Ham.

It was a story about a boy who has been badly behaved since childhood and could be sent to a correctional school, meets baseball, and later becomes a player who sets a big record.

I remember thinking when I was young that even if I was doing nothing but bad things, I could become such a great person if I could find something to devote myself to.

As a child, he was a juvenile delinquent and his parents gave up and sent him to correctional school. He also held the strikeout record until he set the home run record. He has 1,330 strikeouts against his 714 home run record.

He held the all-time record for home runs in Major League Baseball for 34 years.

Babe Ruth started out as a pitcher, pitching for the Boston Red Sox from 1915 to 1917.

325 batting average as a pitcher in 1917, and he also hit long hits, so from 1918 onwards, he will act as a “two-sword style” for two years.

Here, we will compare the two years of 1918 and 1919, when Babe Ruth was actually active as a “two-sword”.

Babe Ruth 1918-1919 results

1918: 13-7, 2.22 ERA, 40 strikeouts
380 at-bats, .300 batting average, 11 home runs, 66 RBIs

1919: 9-5, 2.97 ERA, 30 strikeouts
542 at-bats, .322 batting average, 29 homers, 114 RBI

When compared like this, Shohei Ohtani’s results are astounding numbers.

However, it seems difficult to make an accurate comparison.

As I mentioned a little earlier, there seems to be a big difference in the quality of the tools, especially the balls.

In addition, Shohei Ohtani is almost always a DH except when he pitches, and there are some points that cannot be easily compared, such as different degrees of fatigue.

However, Shohei Ohtani has been participating as a “two-sword style” player since the start of the season, and currently has 22 stolen bases. I understand.

What Shohei Otani valued in order to realize his dreams and goals

Morality has been a subject since 2018 in elementary schools. Otani appears in Mitsumura Tosho’s textbook as the top batter to learn in April of the 5th grade of elementary school. The title is “To make your dreams come true”.

It is a well-known story that is even mentioned in moral textbooks, but at the high school that Ohtani attended, students used goal achievement sheets to think about what they would do specifically to achieve their goals. I was. Below is what Ohtani actually wrote.

出典：道徳５年教科書（光村図書）より

Towards the goal of being nominated to the eight teams in the first draft, Ohtani introduced the goal achievement sheet known as “Mandala” that he had created when he was at Hanamaki Higashi High School, drawing a path to achieve it, and working diligently. Contents that the importance of making an effort was preached for children.

As a specific episode, it is written that he improved his ball speed by 5 km every year during his three years in junior high school, and by 10 km every year in high school, and finally aimed to reach 160 km in his third year of high school.

It is a very helpful sheet in terms of clarifying what is necessary and what to do in order to become your ideal figure.

Fifth grade is a senior year and a responsible year in school.
Ohtani player. For the children, I may be a person above the clouds, but I am here now by working hard like Ohtani.

In the textbook, children can actually make a simple goal achievement sheet. When I think about my future goals, April of the new semester is perfect, and I’m thinking about it together with my homeroom teacher.

This goal achievement sheet makes it easy to achieve goals by making your thoughts “visible.” is.

Otani’s “greetings”, “picking up trash”, “cleaning the room”, and “attitude towards the referee” do not seem to be directly related to “achieving the goal”, but it is important to make those around you on your side. As a result, I think that there will be many situations where people will help you in unintended ways.

The image of Otani earnestly pushing forward toward his goals is the best teaching material for children.

summary

This time, Shohei Ohtani asks what’s the difference between Babe Ruth? How was the content of the comparison of grades and the survey of thinking?

Shohei Ohtani can be said to be the reincarnation of Babe Ruth in that he loves and enjoys the sport of baseball and drives fans all over the United States into a frenzy.

We compared their scores and researched what they have in common, but I hope that they will continue to perform in a different dimension than that alone, and I would like to support them.
