WBCアメリカとの決勝戦
3対2の日本が一点差リードで迎えた9回ツーアウト、大谷選手対トラウト選手の歴史に刻まれる対戦。大谷選手は見事空振り三振でトラウト選手を抑えました。
その対戦をMLBネットワークの解説者である
キャリア14年で2009年のレイズ在籍時にはホームラン39本を放ちホームラン王のタイトルを獲得したカルロス・ペーニャ氏
キャリア15年でパドレス在籍時の2007年には19勝6敗防御率2.54でサイヤング賞を獲得したジェイク・ピービー氏
のお二人がトラウト目線、大谷目線で解説していました。
MLBで偉大な成績を残したお二人から打者目線投手目線で、とても分かりやすい解説をしていただきました。
1球目のスライダーから始まる熱い激突と心理戦。
スプリットを意識させながら、トラウト選手の大得意なコースを100マイルを超える速球で空振りを取り、最後は速球を意識させてのスライダー
お見事でした。
ジェイクピービー氏が仰っていた「信念」
これが大谷選手のボールに乗り移り圧巻の投球に繋がったのでしょう。
本当に夢のような対戦でした。
またいつか見られる日があればいいですね。

Foreign But on the by and large it was sort of a different game Japan seemed to be playing a very U.S Style game state of the art game last night just great all-around big here I mean they play fundamentally sound baseball but they get their pitch where they want it
They’re going to drive it out of the ballpark they have great stuff just like BK was saying and that at bat last night Jake I mean come on this is what dreams are made of you’re exactly right look getting a chance to play in the WBC I
Can tell you Carlos what this man it to both of these individuals and watching this go down I just watched Harold Reynolds and those guys last night Otani said after this first pitch he thought that Mike Trout was looking soft well you see right here that first pitch
To Mike Trout I’m trying to get in his own head okay this is a very epic at bad you got to have a plan against a guy like ohtani and he goes the automatic take right away if you see out of his hand right here this is a
That slider you see trout didn’t even operate it he was taking a strike there at least a pitch this is what I loved right here it’s 1-0 the games one run difference watch this fastball right here this shows me what kind of competitor shohei is and just
Going getting back into account with a fastball kind of center cut and Mike’s just not ready for it and let me tell you something what he I mean obviously this is a hundred two miles per hour I mean it’s hard to hit but this is trout strength that is the zone that trout
Likes are low in the way middle away uh down down by the knees he loves that pitch and that so and I’m like oh Donnie don’t mess around too much in there that’s dangerous they had gotten him out earlier in the game with splits that’s an incredible Otani start still going out this
Fastball that was a fastball there but he’s cutting it he did it to Mookie Betts but again falls behind 2-1 and earlier in the game Mike Trout has struggled with the split I promise you in his mind he’s thinking that thing’s coming at some point in time because
Right now it’s 2-1 here comes another fastball Mike Trout strength and it’s gonna get by yes he is very late on it I mean this this fastball’s got incredible life as you can see but again you know center cut but you see that ride that’s a tough fastball too Jake you’re exactly
Right we’re not throwing it let’s play that again let’s play that again I’m just all I’m trying to get at right here is the confidence that shohei has against the best player in the world to fall behind 1-0 here’s my fastball forcing to fall behind 2-1 here it is
Again that just shows you the account of attack mode in the Beast that does that but I have to be honest chick when I see the catcher setting up like lowering it away if you go back to the setup right he’s actually giving him the lower down
There that’s right and I’m like no no no no no don’t don’t mess in there with trout I mean you throw that pitch out there he handles it well I know it’s a hundred plus miles per hour you have to elevate but this is what happens and
This is something that I want to ask you as a picture go ahead and let this go I mean he lets us go and he knows that if he misses that ball is still riding up and in towards uh you know very difficult part of the Zone from trial to
Handle but you’re making a great point he’s over in this moment you’re so jazzed up he’s overthrowing a little bit and not hitting his spot with those fastballs Kevin Brown once told me though peeve when you throw it with full out conviction and you miss a lot more
Chance to get away with it and and these balls are missing up and over the plate a little bit they’re just up high enough they’re cloned with absolute conviction if we look at this side angle you know that when you throw that fastball right if you see if we got the side angle
Let’s see if we can pause it go ahead go go back here because I want show you something Jake go back a little bit more okay here comes the ball go ahead Press Play Here Comes the baseball Here Comes this faucet there okay this is the trajectory of that pitch
Drought’s going to be underneath it and I want to show you when he actually crosses that trajectory of the ball go ahead and play it when the bag gets here pause it go ahead keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going
This is kind of like when this pitch is almost in the catcher Smith that’s when trout actually gets the barrel to the where the pitch was that is absolutely crazy he’s like two feet late 2-1 hitters count where you should be expected that’s right yeah I I don’t think Japan gets enough
Credit for their game plan and Pitch calling because like I said Mike Trout had struggled with the split as everybody does earlier in this game and to get those fastballs right there I guarantee you he wasn’t really looking for him yeah man and you have to be
Looking for for the festival in order to be able to catch up to it as a matter of fact you gotta kind of gear out even more so because you know this is a hundred plus missing your location but this is what you love in young pictures this is the
Biggest moment you see the adrenaline and we talked about it he is overthrowing a little bit to gather yourself in the biggest moment and execute in this moment right here three two okay so so how about this chick so here I am it’s 3-2 count I’m going
Against the tiny guy throws 102 miles per hour hitter I’m like I gotta be ready for the fastball of course forget it man I’m just gonna lay down the line I’m hunting fast well I don’t care what happens I’m gonna sell out on it guess what this pitch right here is absolutely
Nasty because it looks like the festival you’re looking for exactly right you know when you have Otani and you have these weapons it would have been hard for me Carlos after you taking those two swings if I’m facing my child he swings in is late on two hitter count fastballs
I’m probably gonna throw another one this again goes to Japan’s pitch calling and Joe Haze ability to throw any pitch oh any local go back go back to it because you know you mentioned something very important here if he goes right here like this is what Mike Trout is
Thinking exactly what you’re saying I’m with you I’m like don’t mess around down here don’t do it you’ve already gotten away with it twice you know be careful with that slider hanging he throws a slider and when you pause it halfway to the plate go ahead Press Play Here We Go
Halfway to the plate we’re gonna pause it there pause right there it looks like the festival you want to hit you’re like oh man that’s it that’s what I want he already committed he’s like I’m swinging go ahead and play it and now he’s going to swing through it
There’s nothing you can do about this no there isn’t there really isn’t this was as much fun as I’ve had watching baseball in a long long time Carlos and like I said I thought I was dreaming last night when this matchup was going to take place Mike Trout is as good as
Anybody in the game I hope we get a chance to see him after some Revenge but you know when those pitchers execute at that clip it’s really really tough that’s so tough I mean uh probably one of the best players in baseball well one and two the two best players in baseball
Facing each other on the World Baseball Classic come on Beacon that’s what dreams are made of no question again and that again you can’t just set that up that has to unfold you knew trout was gonna bow we didn’t know what he was going to bat with with two outs uh Jake
Remember we did something on MLB now last year when Otani really developed and used the word just now conviction he’s as great as he was as soon as he hit the United States as a starting pitcher he his commitment to the pitchers you could see it right there
And his ability to sell and fully believe in what he’s able to throw again it was a master at work last night to get that strikeouts foreign
