USA vs. Japan: MINI-MOVIE of 2023 World Baseball Classic Championship | MLB on FOX

Who will win the 2026 WBC?

What's crazy is he was Lights out for the US team in the WBC right before the season

Nobody mentions Bush League Bobby Witt sticking his hand up to try and block the second baseman's throw to first for that double play in the 9th.

戦争の国際憲法違反して日本の民間人を大量殺人したアメリカは日本に謝罪してください
謝罪すらしていないのですから

😮😮

泥のついたクローザーは歴史上ただ1人だけ

何度見ても、ドキドキしちゃう😂

Ohtani got injured😢 So I came here to see the best Ohtani this year!

もう100回以上はこのシーン見てると思うけど、最後のトラウト選手のフルスイングはめちゃくちゃかっこいい❣️

the last pitch is on fire

這個剪輯很熱 the gunfire ,nice

편집 실력이, 초프로급이시네요

I LOVE BASEBALL❤

アメリカ vs 日本
まさに頂上決戦、最強対最強

Fox should take Ohtani`s speech before the game in this mini movie.

My guy Yu literally threw a hanger to Kyle freaking Shwarber😅

Wow, you put western music for Ohtani vs Trout. Indeed it is the duel of the Shogun VS the General

Legendary game so hyped

I gotta say it's beyond description... I bet nobody expected the ending to be that dramatic. Historical tournament for sure.

“Why was the Japanese team so strong?" No, this is better phrased, as "Why are many players from the Japanese baseball system so strong?"
This WBC victory was a historic day in which the Japanese "YAKYU" won over the American-style “Baseball”.
Japan's victory was not due to the strength of the teams or members who participated in the WBC.
It was a day when the victory of Japanese "YAKYU," which was derived uniquely from American-style baseball and took more than 100 years to achieve.
The fact is that on this same planet, there is another baseball that exists in a different spirit than the US style.
Of course, the roots of baseball are USA, but baseball that was exported to other countries and took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact.

The secret and source of the strength of Japanese baseball lies in the difference in baseball “education”.
The greatest secret of Japanese baseball education is the system in which all players of students aim to participate
in the "Koshien Tournament" during their high school years. The "Koshien Tournament" is a high school baseball tournament held twice a year, in spring and summer, for high school students from all 47 prefectures of Japan to determine the best high school baseball club in Japan, with the ultimate goal of everyone participating in a baseball club in high school to compete for three years while in high school.

And unlike other high school sports, this national tournament has an unusually high level of interest and involves the entire nation. The schools that have won their regional tournaments gather at the Koshien Stadium(Hanshin Hyogo) for the final tournament as representatives of their respective regions. All games are broadcast nationwide on TV, and it is fair to say that the amount of attention the tournament attracts is more than that of professional baseball.

The high level of interest in and recognition of the tournament means that interest and money are spent to support the regional representatives, and of course, it is also a place for professional baseball scouts to discover candidates for the next generation of star players.
This tournament is also the place where an unknown boy can become a big star overnight. The emotional dramas of the children's lives, the tragedies and joys of competition due to the tournament style games, arouse the sympathy and interest of the entire nation.
And it is this baseball education in high schools across the country for the "Koshien Tournament" that has become the basic baseball training course for Japanese professional baseball players in their teenage years.


Every student who joins a high school baseball team learns basic baseball training and tactics every day in the time after
high school classes with the goal of participating in this Koshien Tournament.
They then go through unusually grueling training, which is hard to believe by American standards,
such as training their mental, technical, and physical abilities to compete at a young age in their teens in order to participate in this Koshien Tournament.

The selected athletes who win the tournament and participate in the Koshien Tournament are able to experience the rigors of
a sudden death match in a tournament, how to keep their composure in a crowd of over 50,000 spectators, and how to concentrate on their game in a big match as part of their training to strengthen their mental strength as teenagers.

Although baseball is not an Olympic sport in general, the Koshien Tournament system of Japanese baseball provides teenage athletes with the same opportunity to experience the big game as they would in the Olympics.

This training opportunity throughout the high school years contributes to the uniqueness of Japanese baseball, training
and honing each player's basic skills, mental strength, and ability to respond within the organization in teamwork, and raising the fundamental level of the game.

The members of the Japanese team that participated in the WBC, and all of their managers and coaches, all of them have experienced this high school baseball education for the Koshien Tournament when they were in high school.
Almost without exception, all of them.
They spend their high school years learning the basic skills of baseball every day with the goal of participating in this tournament.
→ (hitting, pitching, defense, handling teamwork, keeping calm on the big stage, self control, emotional control skills,
how to think strategically to win the game, how to stand up and behave, manners, etc.).

This educational system in high schools is unique to Japan and completely different from high school baseball in the United States. This is the backbone that gave birth to Otani and Ichiro, and is the cause and secret of the high level of baseball skills of players from Japan.This is also the reason why ”YAKYU” is different from "American-style baseball”.

Americans don’t realize the importance of the unique "Koshien" system of Japanese baseball.
You have yet to realize the essential meaning of why Japanese baseball players are different from other players.
So when you see a player like Otani, you only think of him as crazy, inhuman, or special.

But in the Japanese baseball education system, Otani's words and actions are not an abnomaly; they are the normal behavior of an honor student. And with physical qualities, a second or third Otani could be produced in the Japanese "Koshien" system.

This WBC was the day that ”Japanese YAKYU” defeated the home of ”American-style baseball”.

神様が二人に試練を与えた
二人とも真の漢だ❤

Japan wins USA!! Amazing!! 👍

Revenge for nagasaki and hiroshima i guess lmao

So fun to watch again and again❤👏👏👏

World野球 classic

If that ending does not get an ESPY, it’s just another BET award show.

日本が決勝で負けてたら日本視点の動画しか作れない
ここまで公平な視点で動画を作れるのはさすがFOXというか、さすがアメリカ

バッターボックスに入る前にトラウトは大谷を一瞥して軽く会釈したが、大谷は全く目を合わせなかった。思えば大谷はエンジェルス入団前から天才トラウトに憧れてチームメイトとしても5年間トラウトの背中を追いかけてきた。
試合前に大谷がチームジャパンに言った最後の円陣「今日だけは憧れを捨てて勝つことに集中しよう」と。最後の最後に自ら有言実行し、憧れを捨てて勝負に徹した大谷に野球の、勝負の女神は微笑んだ。

何度見ても素晴らしい試合でしたね。一流選手のUSAお2点で押さエタンですからね、野球の歴史に永遠に残るでしよう。

Otani and Trout are the best players.

🇺🇸サイドが作った動画なのに、公平に作ってくれていて、まず、感激😽😺❣️。

トラウトと大谷の対戦が、こんな凄いシチュエーションで見れるとは夢にも思わなかった。
勝敗を超越した神秘的で最高に痺れる戦いだった。

I respect USA 🎉GOOD LOSER

NEXT TIME , FINAL ROUND should be held in JAPAN😊

I watched most serious Shohei when against Trout.

えーミニムービーとか言うぐらいだから期待したのにただの得点の瞬間と最後と大谷vs.トラウトを映しただけやん
もっと色んなドラマがあったからそこらへん映してくれんのかと思った

ＧＯＡＴ21th century
Messi
James Lebron

巌流島決闘想起させる最後対決私だけだろうか⁉️

日本もアメリカも本当に最高でクールな戦いをしてくれた。もうどちらが勝っても負けても感動するしかなかった！歴史的な戦いを生きてる時に見れて良かった。トラ兄大好き！日本より😊

To Be Continued...

この映像には映って無いけど、泥付きユニホームのクローザーがブルペンから出てくる所マジ格好良かった。二刀流の証。

トラウトさん、あなたは負けたけどこの勝負は野球の勝利の瞬間でした。
もっと自信を持って下さい。

It was a great match! I love obtain showing all the emotions, that gives me chills. He is a beyond legend.

現代野球の主人公、大谷さんが日本代表にいる限りは負けなさそう。

マイク・トラウトと大谷翔平の真剣勝負は、息を飲む映画のようです。
そして、何度観ても見飽きないです。
次回の2026 WBCは、
是非、マイク・トラウト選手の手に優勝カップを授けて欲しいと日本から願ってます!

日本人です🇯🇵戦った全ての国に感謝を。
みんなが熱狂的になれるスポーツは素晴らしい。また世界中のみんなで楽しい野球をやろう！

If Shohei Ohtani's last ball was straight on that course, you would have hit a home run.Once again I was convinced that you are the number one batter in the world.We are deeply grateful for your participation in the wbc and send you deep respect from Japan.
