Incredible.

He's not even swinging hard, the dude just has that much power.

Japan is undefeated in the tournament after going 4-0 in group play, then hammering Italy 9-3 in the quarterfinals.

So far Ohtani is 7-for-16 at the plate with three doubles, one home run and eight RBIs. He's hitting .438 with a .625 on-base percentage. On the mound, he's 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA, and a 0.69 WHIP. He has struck out 10 in 8.2 innings and is allowing a .161 batting average. So yeah, he's been pretty damn good.

Anyone else ridiculously excited for MLB to start?
