Sho-Time!

183

i’m not a baseball fan at all.  BUT, i’ve been watching Shohei Ohtani recently.  yesterdays game, he was pitching so perfectly, until the other team hit a home run off him.  i was super impressed on his expression, which was nothing.  he didn’t get mad or frustrated.  he just took a breath and was calm as nothing happened.  

then his next bat up, i watched closely because i wanted to see how he was going to respond.

then BANG!  he hit a home run!!!  omg, i was screaming!!!  

he looked up and knew it was long gone.  look how cool he is!

what amazes me more than Shohei breaking records and making history is his composure.  he’s almost emotionless.  so when i pull into a 20′ barrel own my foil, i’m going to have a facial expression like this.  it’s basically saying “i knew it was coming.”  

now i’m a baseball fan of this amazing professional athlete.  next time you watch him,  look at his confidence, and look at his emotions.  that’s my dream to be like that confident and cool someday…
