Trump\u00a0honored Ohtani for his historic 50-50 season, he also noted that the Japanese sensation &#8220;looks like a movie star,&#8221; and he\u2019s &#8220;got a good future,&#8221; after the two shook hands.<\/p>\n<h2 data-v-d11d7278=\"\">Trump on Ohtani: \u2018He looks like a movie star\u2019<\/h2>\n<p data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-d11d7278=\"\"><em>What they&#8217;re saying:<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-v-d11d7278=\"\"><em><strong>&#8220;<\/strong>In all of baseball history, only six players have ever hit 40 home runs and stolen 40 bases in a single season. And an elite group known as the 40-40 club, it&#8217;s a 40- 40 club and very few people make it. but unanimous National League MVP, Shohei Otani. He looks like a movie star. He&#8217;s got a good future, I&#8217;m telling you. He shattered all of those records last year. Think of it, all of them, and he did something even more because he became the first ever member of the 50-50 club. So 40-40 is tough, hitting 54 home runs and 59 steals and accomplished an accomplishment unparalleled in 149 years of Major League Baseball. Think of that. That&#8217;s just incredible. Even more incredibly, Shohei clinched that achievement in what some have called the greatest game ever. Was it that good of a game? That was pretty good. Is he good??<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-v-d11d7278=\"\">&#8220;And he\u2019s only getting better,&#8221; Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.<\/p>\n<p data-v-d11d7278=\"\"><em><strong>&#8220;<\/strong>That&#8217;s scary for a lot of people, huh? Even more incredibly, Shohei clinched the achievement. I mean, it really was, and at a time, at an age that nobody ever thought was possible. On September 19th, 2024, he did the unthinkable by going six for six. This is pretty amazing. I didn&#8217;t realize it was that good. I saw that game 6 for 6 against the Marlins with 3 homers, 10 RBIs, and a pair of stolen bases. Other than that, it was not a great game. How many people have gone 6 for six in just a period, a doesn&#8217;t. right? Not very much, right. Maybe a dozen. Amazing,&#8221; Trump said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-v-d11d7278=\"\">Even more impressive, Ohtani is actually the lone member of the 50-50 club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brief The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in a five-game series last fall.
