Heroes know heroes – and heroes know heroes. Aaron Judge, 32, the Yankees’ MVP this season, praised the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani, 30, on the official “X” of the Players Association on October 27 (Japan time).
He’s a special player. He can play both starting pitcher and fielder. He amazes me every day.
Otani and Judge are two of the best hitters in the majors. Both won the double crown for home runs (Otani 54, Judge 58) and runs batted in (130 and 144), and both led their teams to the World Series.
This magazine asked Professor Takashi Kawamura of Tsukuba University, an expert in the field, to analyze the hitting form of these two players who are performing on a different level. What are the similarities and differences between the two players? We will look at a series of photos and listen to Kawamura’s commentary.
