You hate your competitors . Of course, i do. I want to beat them up. You want to make dannon yogurt and yoplait suffer .

Cooper have you ever wondered if all those people you see staring intently at their smartphones nearly everywhere, and at all times are addicted to them . According to a former google product manager you are about to hear from, Silicon Valley is engineering your phone, apps, and social media to get you hooked. He is one of the few tech insiders to publicly acknowledge that the companies responsible for programming your phones are working hard to get you and your family to feel the need to check in constantly. Some programmers call it brain hacking, and the tech world would probably prefer you didnt hear about it, but Tristan Harris openly questions the long term consequences of it all, and we think its worth putting down your phone to listen. Tristan harris this thing is a slot machine. Cooper how is that a slot machine . Harris well, every time i check my phone, im playing the slot machine to see, what did i get . This is one way to hijack peoples minds and create a habit, to form a habit. What you do is you make it so when someone pulls a lever, sometimes they get a reward, an exciting reward. And it turns out that this design technique can be embedded inside of all these products. Cooper the rewards harris is talking about are a big part of what makes smartphones so appealing. The chance of getting likes on facebook and instagram. Cute emojis in Text Messages. And new followers on twitter. Harris theres a whole playbook of techniques that get used to get you using the product for as long as possible. Cooper what kind of techniques are used . Harris so, snapchats the most popular messaging service for teenagers, and they invented this feature called streaks, which shows the number of days in a row that youve sent a message back and forth with someone. So now you could say, well, whats the big deal here . Well, the problem is that kids feel like, well, now i dont want to lose my streak. But it turns out that kids, actually, when they go on vacation, are so stressed about their streak that they actually give their password to, like, five other kids to keep their streaks going on their behalf. And so, you could ask when these features are being designed, are they designed to most help people live their life . Or are they being designed because theyre best at hooking people into using the product . Cooper is Silicon Valley programming apps or are they programming people . Harris inadvertently, whether they want to or not, they are shaping the thoughts and feelings and actions of people. They are programming people. Theres always this narrative that technology is neutral, and its up to us to choose how we use it. This is just not true. Cooper technologys not neutral . Harris its not neutral. They want you to use it in particular ways, and for long periods of time, because thats how they make their money. Cooper its rare for a tech insider to be so blunt, but Tristan Harris believes someone needs to be. A few years ago, he was living the Silicon Valley dream. He dropped out of a Masters Program at Stanford University to start a software company. Four years later, google bought him out and hired him as a product manager. It was while working there he started to feel overwhelmed. Harris honestly, i was just bombarded in email and calendar invitations, and just the overload of what its like to work at a place like google. And i was asking, when is all of this adding up to, like, an actual benefit to my life . And i ended up making this presentation, it was kind of a manifesto, and it basically said, you know, look, never before in history have a handful of people at a handful of Technology Companies shaped how a billion people think and feel every day with the choices they make about these screens. Cooper his 144page presentation argued that the constant distractions of apps and emails are weakening our relationships to each other, and destroying our kids ability to focus. It was widely read inside google, and caught the eye of one of the founders, larry page. But harris told us it didnt lead to any changes, and after three years, he quit. Harris and its not because anyone is evil or has bad intentions. Its because the game is getting attention at all costs. And the problem is, it becomes this race to the bottom of the brainstem, where if i go lower on the brainstem to get you, you know, using my product, i win. But it doesnt end up in the world we want to live in. We dont end up feeling good about how were using all this stuff. Cooper you call this a race to the bottom of the brainstem. Its a race to the most primitive emotions we have . Fear, anxiety, loneliness, all these things . Harris absolutely. And thats, again, because in the race for attention, i have to do whatever works. It absolutely wants one thing, which is your attention. Cooper now he travels the country trying to convince programmers and anyone else who will listen that the Business Model of Tech Companies needs to change. He wants products designed to make the best use of our time, not just grab our attention. Do you think parents understand the complexities of what their kids are dealing with, when theyre dealing with their phone, dealing with apps and social media . Harris no. And i think this is really important. Because theres a narrative that, oh, i guess theyre just doing this like we used to gossip on the phone. But what this misses is that your telephone in the 1970s didnt have a thousand engineers on the other side of the telephone, who were redesigning it to work with other telephones and then updating the way your telephone worked every day to be more and more persuasive. That was not true in the 1970s. Cooper how many Silicon Valley insiders are there speaking out like you are . Harris not that many. Cooper we reached out to the biggest tech firms, but none would speak on the record and some didnt even return our phone call. Most Tech Companies say their priority is improving user experience, something they call engagement, but they remain secretive about what they do to keep people glued to their screens. So we went to venice, california, where the body builders on the beach are being muscled out by Small Companies that specialize in what ramsay brown calls brain hacking. Ramsay brown a Computer Programmer who now understands how the brain works, knows how to write code that will get the brain to do certain things. Cooper ramsay brown studied neuroscience before cofounding dopamine labs, a startup crammed into a garage. The company is named after the dopamine molecule in our brains that aids in the creation of desire and pleasure. Brown and his colleagues write computer code for apps used by Fitness Companies and financial firms. The programs are designed to provoke a neurological response. Youre trying to figure out how to get people coming back to use the screen . Brown when should i make you feel a little extra awesome, to get you to come back into the app longer . Cooper the computer code he creates finds the best moment to give you one of those rewards which have no actual value, but brown says trigger your brain to make you want more. For example, on instagram, he told us sometimes those likes come in a sudden rush. Brown theyre holding some of them back for you, to let you know later in a big burst. Like, hey, heres the 30 likes we didnt mention from a little while ago. Why that moment cooper so all of a sudden, you get a big burst of likes . Brown yeah, but why that moment . Theres some algorithm somewhere that predicted, hey, for this user right now who is experimental subject 79b3 in experiment 231, we think we can see an improvement in his behavior if you give it to him in this burst instead of that burst. Cooper when brown says experiments, hes talking generally about the millions of computer calculations being used every moment by his company and others to constantly tweak your online experience and make you come back for more. Brown youre part of a controlled set of experiments that are happening in real time, across you and millions of other people. Cooper were guinea pigs . Brown youre guinea pigs. You are guinea pigs in the box, pushing the button and sometimes getting the likes. And theyre doing this to keep you in there. Cooper the longer we look at our screens, the more Data Companies collect about us, and the more ads we see. Ad spending on social media has doubled in just two years to more than 31 billion. Brown you dont pay for facebook. Advertisers pay for facebook. You get to use it for free because your eyeballs are whats being sold, there. Cooper thats an interesting way to look at it, that youre not the customer for facebook. Brown youre not the customer. You dont sign a check to facebook. But cocacola does. Cooper brown says theres a reason texts and facebook use a continuous scroll because its a proven way to keep you searching longer. Brown you spend half your time on facebook just scrolling to find one good piece worth looking at. Its happening because they are engineered to become addictive. Cooper youre almost saying it like theres an addiction code. Brown yeah, that is the case. That, since weve figured out, to some extent, how these pieces of the brain that handle addiction are working, people have figured out how to juice them further and how to bake that information into apps. Larry rosen dinner table could be a technologyfree zone. Cooper while brown is tapping into the power of dopamine, psychologist larry rosen and his team at california state universitydominguez hills are researching the Effect Technology has on our anxiety levels. Rosen were looking at the impact of technology through the brain. Cooper rosen told us, when you put your phone down, your brain signals your adrenal gland to produce a burst of a hormone called cortisol, which has an evolutionary purpose. Cortisol triggers a fightor flight response to danger. Cooper how does cortisol relate to a mobile device, a phone . Rosen what we find is the typical person checks their phone every 15 minutes or less, and half of the time they check their phone, there is no alert, no notification. Its coming from inside their head, telling them, gee, i havent checked on facebook in a while. I havent checked on this twitter feed for a while. I wonder if somebody commented on my instagram post. That then generates cortisol and it starts to make you anxious, and eventually your goal is to get rid of that anxiety, so you check in. Cooper so the same hormone that made primitive man anxious and hyperaware of his surroundings to keep him from being eaten by lions, is today compelling rosens students and all of us to continually peek at our phones to relieve our anxiety. Rosen when you put the phone down, you dont shut off your brain, you just put the phone down. Cooper can i be honest with you right now . I havent paid attention to what youre saying because i just realized my phone is right down by my right foot and i havent checked it in, like, ten minutes. Rosen and it makes you anxious. Cooper im a little anxious. Rosen yes. Cooper we found out just how anxious, in this experiment conducted by rosens research colleague, nancy cheever. Nancy cheever so the first thing im going to do is apply these electrodes to your fingers. Cooper while i watched a video, a computer tracked minute changes in my heart rate and perspiration. What i didnt know was that cheever was sending Text Messages to my phone, which was just out of reach. Every time my text notification went off, the blue line spiked, indicating anxiety caused in part by the release of cortisol. Cheever oh, that one is thats a huge spike right there. And you can imagine what thats doing to your body, every time you get a text message. You probably cant even feel it, right . Because its such a its a small amount of arousal. Cooper thats fascinating. Their research suggests, our phones are keeping us in a continual state of anxiety, in which the only antidote. Is the phone. Is it known what the impact of all this Technology Use is . Rosen absolutely not. Cooper its too soon. Rosen were all part of this big experiment. Cooper what is this doing to a young mind, or a teenager . Rosen well theres some projects going on where theyre actually scanning teenagers brains over a 20year period, and looking to see what kind of changes theyre finding. Gabe zichermann heres the reality. Corporations and creators of content have, since the beginning of time, wanted to make their content as engaging as possible. Cooper Gabe Zichermann has worked with dozens of companies, including apple and cbs, to make their online products more irresistible. Hes best known in Silicon Valley for his expertise in something called gamification, using techniques from video games to insert fun and competition into almost everything on your smartphone. Zichermann so one of the interesting things about gamification and other engaging technologies, is at the same time as we can argue that the neuroscience is being used to create dependent behavior, those same techniques are being used to get people to work out, you know, using their fitbit. So all of these technologies, all the techniques for engagement can be used for good, or can be used for bad. Cooper zichermann is now working on software called onward, designed to break users bad habits. It will track a persons activity and can recommend they do Something Else when theyre spending too much time online. Zichermann i think creators have to be liberated to make their content as good as possible. Cooper the idea that a tech company is not going to try to make their product as persuasive, as engaging as possible, youre just saying thats not going to happen . Zichermann asking Technology Companies, asking content creators to be less good at what they do feels like a ridiculous ask. It feels impossible. And also, its very anti capitalistic. This isnt the system that we live in. Cooper ramsay brown and his garage startup, dopamine labs, made a habitbreaking app as well. Its called space and it creates a 12second delay what brown calls a moment of zen before any social media app launches. In january, he tried to convince apple to sell it in their app store. Brown and they rejected it from the app store because they told us any app that would encourage people to use other apps or their iphone less was unacceptable for distribution in the app store. Cooper they actually said that to you . Brown they said that to us. They did not want us to give out this thing that was going to make people less stuck on their phones.

Kroft at a time when americans are debating whether immigration and refugees are a good thing or a bad thing for the country, it is sometimes noted that tesla, google, ebay, and pepsicola are all either founded by or currently run by immigrants, and in one case, a refugee. Its a reminder that foreigners dont always take jobs from americans sometimes, they create them. And of all the success stories, none seems more relevant to the current debate than the tale of hamdi ulakaya, who came here from turkey 23 years ago on a student visa with almost no money. Today, he is a billionaire who has changed american tastes with his chobani yogurt, resurrected the economy in two communities, and drawn praise, and some hostile fire, for the way hes done it. He is a familiar, paternal presence on the factory floor, where everyone calls him hamdi. Hamdi ulukaya hey, brother, how you doing . Kroft he oversees every detail of a product line that barely existed a dozen years ago greek style yogurt, a thicker, tangier version of the dairy product that ulakaya popularized here and named chobani. Its now the bestselling brand in america. What does the word, chobani, mean . Ulukaya it means shepherd. Kroft shepherd . Ulukaya shepherd. Its a very beautiful word. It represents peace. And it meant a lot to me, because, you know, i come from a life with shepherds and mountains and all that stuff. Kroft his family raised goats and sheep and made cheese and yogurt in a small kurdish village in eastern turkey. During the summer months, they would move to the mountains and graze their flock under the stars. He says he was born on one of those trips, but he doesnt know the date or the year. So how did you come not to know your birthday . Ulukaya yeah, in the old days, you know the nomads, they didnt deliver babies in the hospitals. Kroft midwives . Ulukaya midwives, yeah. They would register when they come back. The registration officer would put everybody in january. Says its easy for math. Like, 70 of our town at that time, born in somehow in january. Im january 20th. This reminds me of home. Kroft he came to the u. S. At 22, a passionate, idealistic student who had gotten in trouble with turkish authorities for writing articles sympathetic to the kurdish rights movement. He was hauled in for questioning, and decided it might be a good idea to leave. Did you speak any english when you came . Ulukaya no. Kroft none . Ulukaya zero. Kroft no family, no ulukaya nothing. Nothing. Kroft no friends . Ulukaya nobody. No. Kroft it took him a year to find his footing in upstate new york, where he spent the next decade finishing his studies, working on a dairy farm and starting a modest feta cheese business. Where one day he spotted an ad. Ulukaya it said, fully equipped yogurt plant for sale. And it has a picture in front, it said 1920 on the back. There was small, small pictures of various per parts of the plant. And i called the number. Kroft the Real Estate Agent said the 85yearold factory was owned by kraft foods, which had decided to get out of the yogurt business. Ulukaya and i asked for the price, and he says 700,000. I mean, you cannot even get a tank with 700,000. How could this be . So i didnt ask the second time, because i didnt want him to think that i kroft didnt believe him . Ulukaya yeah. Kroft or get him to reevaluate the price . Ulukaya yeah, he says, oh, maybe were asking too little. Kroft sensing an opportunity, hamdi set off to the small village of new berlin, new york to have a look. There he found the last employees of the last plant in the area, closing it down. Ulukaya i remember like yesterday. Its like this sadness in this whole place. Like as if somebody died, like, somebody important died. Kroft 200 jobs . Ulukaya 200 jobs was gone. Kroft former employees frank price, maria wilcox and rich lake were among the mourners that day. Rich lake your whole livelihoods gone. You dont really know what youre going to do or where youre going to go. Kroft so in comes this guy. Did you think he was for real . Lake honestly, it was a little farfetched soundin at first. laughter there was a little bit of doubt. At least for me, there was. You know, i mean ulukaya its okay. I doubted myself, too. laughter kroft he didnt have any money, but he managed to get a Regional Bank and the Small Business administration to split the risk of a Million Dollar loan. That put chobani in business, and allowed hamdi to hire his first five employees four of whom had been let go by kraft. Ulukaya and we had no other ideas what we were going to do next. Kroft it would take them two years to come up with a product and figure out how to produce it. Hamdi spent most of his time in the plant, except to grab two meals a day at the local pizzeria owned by another immigrant, frank baio and his wife betsey. Ulukaya this is the only place in my, you know, in my early days of coming here, this is the only place you can come and connect to life again and society and go back to whatever you do. Frank baio and i want to say something, scuse me if i interrupt you. Before hamdi showed up in this town, i was the king. laughter kroft what did you think of his plans . Frank baio well sighs lets put it to you this way i kind of felt sorry because i dont think he knew what he was getting into. I mean, i you figure for kraft to shut it down, who the hell is this guy that hes going to open up and make it right, make it going . Kroft almost all of the early chobani meetings took place here, along with some small celebrations. Betsey remembers one where hamdi offered this toast. Betsy baio he said, heres to wishing we could ever make 100,000 cases of yogurt in a week and not worry about the light bill anymore. I said to my husband, im going to feel so bad when he loses his shirt, cause hes never going to sell 100,000 cases in a week. Kroft actually it would take only a year. The first order of chobani yogurt, 150 cases, was delivered to a Kosher Grocery store on long island in october of 2007. No one knew if there would be another. Ulukaya the store manager called me and said, i dont know what youre putting into these cups. I cannot keep it on shelf. Dont tell me what youre putting in there. At that moment, i knew this was like, three months in, this was not going to be about if i could sell it. It was going to be about, can i make enough . Kroft more milk . Ulukaya yeah. Kroft it would require more machines, bigger facilities, more milk from the surrounding dairy farms, and a lot more people. Between 2008 and 2012, production of chobani yogurt grew to as much as two million cases a week, revenues reached a billion dollars a year, and the number of employees shot up to 600. Its now roughly 1,000. Ulukaya anybody in the community who wanted to work for those years would find a job at chobani. Anybody, we were hiring. And if they were not working for us, they were working for the contractors that were doing job for us. Because the my my number one thing is i was going to hire everyone local before i go outside. Kroft hamdis recruiting effort included a stop at a Refugee Resettlement center in the city of utica, 40 miles away, where he heard they were having trouble finding people work. Ulukaya they said, well, the language is a barrier. And transportation. I said, okay, lets try some. I will hire translators. And well provide transportation. Let them come and make yogurt with us. Kroft and they worked out . Ulukaya oh, perfectly. And they are the most loyal, hardworking people, along with everyone else here. Right now in our plant in here, we have 19 different nationalities, 16 different translators. Kroft by 2012, the capacity of the plant in new berlin had maxed out. They were running out of people, running out of milk and running out of room. So, hamdi decided to build a second facility the largest yogurt plant in the world, in the town of twin falls, idaho, all based on a sketch hed roughed out on a napkin at franks pizzaria. Ulukaya and if you look at the plant and the and the napkin, its basically the similar similar design. The piping in this plant is if you put it together from here to chicago and we built them less than a year. Kroft there were some initial growing pains a shipment had to be recalled because of mold contamination, and early production delays necessitated an emergency loan. But the business survived and has thrived in large part because of hamdis competitive nature. Ulukaya i love innovation, i love competing. I hate my competitors. Kroft you hate your competitors . Ulukaya of course, i do. I want to beat them up. Kroft you want to make dannon yogurt and yoplait suffer . Ulukaya back to france. laughter just kidding aside. What i mean is, you cannot be in the world of business when you dont have this consciousness of winning. But in a right way. Kroft today, the twin falls plant has 1,000 employees with above average wages and generous benefits. It pumps more than 2 billion a year into the regional economy, which is now running at close to full employment. Its allowed hamdi to hire fellow immigrants and refugees, not instead of american workers, but alongside them. We met two of them in twin falls, sisters, and agreed not to use their names or disclose the middle eastern country they fled, because they fear reprisals from the human traffickers that separated them from their family then abandoned them as young girls on a Street Corner in eastern europe. How did you manage to get out . Sister 1 took us a long time. I prefer really not to talk about it because it is really painful sister 2 its painful, yeah. Kroft would you have survived if you had stayed there . Sister 1 no. Kroft youre sure of that . Sister 1 yeah, definitely. I was not sitting here alive if i was not leaving. Ulukaya they got here legally. Theyve gone through a most dangerous journey. They lost their family members. They lost everything they have. And here they are. They are either going to be a part of society or they are going to lose it again. The number one thing that you can do is provide them jobs. The minute they get a job, thats the minute they stop being a refugee. Kroft Hamdi Ulukaya insists hes not an activist, just a businessman. But the fact that he comes from a muslim country, supports Legal Immigration and helps refugees has not been universally popular in idaho, one of the most conservative states in the country. During the past election, chobani was attacked by far right media, including breitbart, claiming it had brought refugees, crime and tuberculosis to twin falls none of which is true, yet both hamdi and the mayor of twin falls received death threats. One publication had a headline that said, american yogurt tycoon vows to choke u. S. With muslims. Ulukaya yeah. Kroft people targeted you . Ulukaya yeah, it was an emotional emotional time. People, you know, hate you for doing something right. I mean, what can you do about that . Theres not much you can do. Kroft the situation has cooled somewhat and hamdi enjoys the full support of idahos very popular and very conservative governor butch otter. Governor butch otter i think his care about his employees, whether they be refugees, or they be folks that were born ten miles from where theyre working. I believe his advocacy for that person is no different. And theres nothin wrong with that. Kroft we traveled with ulukaya to europe, where he has made the International Refugee crisis the focal point of his personal philanthropy. Hes donated millions to help survivors, like these in italy ulukaya whats your name . Kroft . Who risked everything fleeing iraq, syria and africa in hopes of finding a better life. Hes also enlisted the support of major u. S. Corporations in the cause and pledged to give most of his fortune to charity. Ulukaya she died . Refugee yes. Ulukaya and the kids died too . Kroft hamdi says he had no idea that things would turn out the way they have when he came to america 23 years ago and bought that shuttered yogurt plant in upstate new york. He is now showing his gratitude. A year ago, he gave 10 of all of his equity in chobani to his employees. Ulukaya its not a gift. Its not a, oh, lk how nice i am. Its a recognition. Its the right thing to do. It is something that belongs to them that i recognize. Thats how i see it. What if technology gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally . Microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. There are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample. With the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data faster than ever before. If we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin. But when joint pain andu stiffness from Psoriatic Arthritis hit. Even the smallest things became difficult. So i talked to my rheumatologist. And he prescribed enbrel. To help relieve joint pain and help stop further joint damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis. Lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Tell your doctor if youve been someplace where fungal infections are common. Or if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding or paleness. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Get back to the things that matter most. Ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. Enbrel, the number one rheumatologistprescribed biologic. For my constipation, i switch laxatives. Ed stimulant laxatives make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. Miralax is different. It works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften. Unblocking your system naturally. Miralax. Im vern, the orange money retirement rabbit, from voya. Im the money you save for retirement. Whos he . Hes green money, for spending today. Makes it easy to tell you apart. That, and i am better looking. I heard that. When its time to get organized for retirement, its time to get voya. Kroft now john wertheim, executive editor of sports illustrated, on assignment for 60 minutes. Wertheim now that the chicago cubs have finally won the world series, what does baseball do for an encore . Heres a story to follow. The most fearsome starting pitcher in japanese baseball is a 22yearold named Shohei Ohtani. The most prolific hitter in japanese baseball is a 22year old named Shohei Ohtani. Last year, he won the leagues home run derby and threw its fastest pitch ever. Already a sensation across the pacific, ohtani is largely unknown here. But japans twoway mystery man is expected to come to the majors at the end of this season, where he vows to continue his unlikely moonlighting act, batting left and pitching right. Should he pull it off, ohtani will become the first major leaguer in a century to figure in a teams starting rotation and in its everyday hitting lineup. The last such player was a guy named babe ruth. We traveled to japan a few weeks ago to meet ohtani, his first interview with an American Television network. But we first laid eyes on him in arizona, where his team holds spring training. bat cracks this sliver through the fence of a batting cage made for a fitting introduction. We found dozens of japanese outlets angling for a slice any slice of ohtani in action. Cameras follow him to the exclusion of every other player on the field. And, so do the fans. We met supporters who traveled 5,000 miles to the Desert Southwest just to watch him train. Having glimpsed the ohtani phenomenon on the road, we were eager to explore it on his turf. Our search to find what all the fuss was about took us here, to hokkaido, japans northernmost island. Its home to the National Champion baseball team, the nippon ham fighters. Its also home to the sports most intriguing prospect. Shohei ohtani looms large in the snowy hokkaido town of sapporo. If tokyo is a fastball, sapporo is a curveball. Japans fifthlargest city feels not unlike a laidback ski village. But this is a baseball town. And this is the home stadium, the sapporo dome. Its here we sat down with ohtani. We broke the ice with a question about what wed heard was his Favorite Local fast food. Very important question. In out burger or captain kangaroo burger . Shohei ohtani translated captain kangaroo. Wertheim better . Towering and affable, ohtani is working on his english, but felt more comfortable using a translator during our interview. Wertheim i want to ask you about coming to the majors. But should we say, if, or should we say, when . Ohtani translated thats a tough one. I mean, nothing is for certain, so, i guess its if. Wertheim despite that cautious response, ohtani eagerly revealed which Major League Players he looks most forward to facing no less than m. V. P. Hitter bryce harper and star pitcher clayton kershaw. Ohtani translated i watch bryce harper, clayton kershaw. Wertheim a pitcher and a hitter. Ohtani translated yeah, unlike me, kershaw is a lefty. Wertheim you see a little of yourself in both kershaw and harper . Ohtani translated i actually do see myself. And i actually try throwing lefty sometimes. Wertheim how do you think youd do against kershaw . Ohtani translated just thinking about facing him makes me really happy and excited. I could just tell hes such a great pitcher through the tv screen. Wertheim how would you pitch to harper . Ohtani translated i would have to go with my best pitch, which is the fastball. I want to see how my best pitch fares against one of the best hitters. Wertheim likely quite well. Throwing his dancing fastball, ohtani strikes out batters at a higher rate than kershaw. Unfurling his violent, yet somehow elegant swing, he hits home runs at a higher rate than harper. There are days ohtani makes baseball look almost laughably easy. Consider this performance last summer. On the very first pitch of the game, ohtani, batting lead off, hit a home run. He then pitched eight shutout innings and struck out ten batters. Ohtani shohei wertheim at sixfootfour, the designated hitter turned pitcher reliably brings the crowd to its feet. When he threw the fastest pitch, breaking his own record, even opponents looked on in astonishment. Last year, you threw a pitch, 165 kilometers an hour, more than 102 miles an hour. How much faster can you throw than 102. 5 . Ohtani translated i dont have an exact answer for that. But im still young. Im still 22. I think theres more room to grow. Wertheim as seasons go, 2016 will be hard to top. The hokkaido nippon ham fighters took the japan series. Ohtani was his leagues m. V. P. About that name the fighters are owned by nippon ham, makers of japans bestselling sausages. And while, yes, the name resists serious treatment, the team itself is widely regarded as the most innovative in the league. Manager Hideki Kuriyama groomed former fighters pitcher yu darvish, now an ace for the texas rangers. Can you compare this to anything youve seen . Hideki kuriyama translated no. Never seen anything like it. Never. Wertheim whats it like having a player whos your best pitcher and also your best hitter . Kuriyama translated hes so talented, its really tough to use him the right way, with the right balance. Wertheim if you thought moneyball the practice of using baseball data over intuition contorted a managers conventional thinking, try overseeing a twoway player. Kuriyamas formula . He pitches ohtani on sundays then bats him the rest of the week, with a day or two off before each start. Distractions are to be kept to a minimum. cheers same goes for praise. Shohei ohtani may be the star of the team, but kuriyama doesnt exactly coddle the guy. Ohtani translated last year, when we won the championship, it was the first time he gave me a compliment. And he said, that was great pitching. Wertheim never complimented you before that . Ohtani translated not once. He always says, youve got to get better. Wertheim and kuriyama has his reasons. Kuriyama translated i truly believe hes a lot better than where he is at right now. The crowd at the sapporo dome is less stingy with its praise. You dont get a lot of quiet time here. No peanuts and cracker jacks either, but plenty of the local beer. A college footballstyle atmosphere pervades. The caliber of play is considered one level below the major leagues in america. Top japanese players, names like ichiro and matsui, aspire to compete against the very best in the u. S. Even amid such company, Shohei Ohtani sticks out. Expat john gibson has reported on japanese baseball for 20 years. Whats it like, covering this guy . John gibson you think about a guy who throws 101 and then a guy who hits home runs, and thats a comic book character. Thats not somebody youre thinking about in real life. You know, nobody does that. Who does that . Wertheim we had hoped to leave the sapporo dome with ohtani, get to know the mortal behind the comic book character. Ohtani translated thank you. Wertheim domo. But he politely declined our invitation. Not even a quick captain kangaroo burger. So we invited a couple of his teammates instead. Brandon laird and luis mendoza are two of the teams gaijin, or foreign players. Laird saw action as a yankee. Mendoza once pitched for the rangers and the royals. Sapporo is not a bad place to be a gaijin. Luis mendoza how you doing . Good . Good to see you. Wertheim over dinner at their favorite spot in town, laird told us that ohtani is the most talented teammate hes ever had. This, from a guy who played with derek jeter and alex rodriguez. Brandon laird some pitchers can hit but, i mean, he actually does it in a game. Like, hes in our lineup, you know . And its impressive. Mendoza watching him hit the ball i mean, its like, miguel cabrera, you know, power kind of power, you know. Wertheim he reminds you of cabrera . Mendoza yeah. Definitely. Wertheim you guys been out with him . Laird no. I mean, he doesnt really do anything. He just, mellow kid, just goes back to the dorms. Wertheim yes, the biggest star in japanese baseball, with a reported salary of roughly 2 million, apart from not owning a car, lives in these minimalist team dorms. Ohtani confirmed to us that he seldom leaves the facility. Not that it keeps fans from waiting for him outside. Even from a distance, plenty of observations can be made about the pitching slugger, or the slugging pitcher. He is meticulous, stopping mid pitch to adjust his form; open to advice from his batting coaches. Even baseball tedium provides a source of enjoyment. This is someone who plays baseball, but has always worked at it, too. Ohtani grew up in a small, Industrial Town on japans mainland. His father, once an amateur player himself, coached his sons Little League teams. Shohei ohtani showed promise as a hitter, but drew more interest as a pitcher, occasioning stealth visits from american scouts while he was still in high school. At age 18, he held a press conference to announce his major league intentions and went so far as to tell japanese teams not to draft him. But the nippon ham fighters, again, known for doing things their own way, drafted him nonetheless. Ohtani translated every other team besides the fighters was looking at me as a pitcher. But the fighters were going to allow me to do both pitching and hitting. Honestly, i wasnt even thinking about doing both on a professional level. But they approached me in that way and i wanted to take the chance. Wertheim thats your fastball grip . Ohtani translated fastball. Splitter. Wertheim so you have a splitter . True to their word, the fighters have cultivated ohtani as a hitter as well as a pitcher. We asked him about his forebear. People have compared you to babe ruth. What do you think about when you hear the name babe ruth . Ohtani translated hes like a mythical character to me. Because its such a long time ago and he was god to baseball. I shouldnt be compared to him, at least not right now. Wertheim but maybe someday soon. The fighters have said theyll permit ohtani to negotiate with Major League Teams after this season. Hideki kuriyama says the time is right. Kuriyama translated for our team, were all for him going to the states. Wertheim best player on the team, this amazing twoway talent, and youre okay with him going to the major leagues . Kuriyama translated yeah, as a manager, its going to hurt. Its tough that way. But more than that, i want him to succeed. Wertheim back in the u. S. , news of ohtanis imminent arrival was a hot topic at spring training though, weary of tipping their hand, execs we approached would only talk off camera. Dave defreitas was a scout for the yankees and the indians. He watched ohtani come of age in japan. Now independent, he produces scouting reports for the website 2080 baseball. Dave defreitas everybody is interested. Scouts are going over there all year this year to watch him. I think if a team tells you theyre not interested, theyre probably lying to you. Youre talking about a young kid thats one of the best talents in the game, on the planet. Wertheim ohtani told us he doesnt have an agent yet. But hes going to need one. His path to the majors wont exactly be straightforward. A new collective Bargaining Agreement caps at 6 million what teams can pay any foreign player under the age of 25 even those who, ritually, send balls dinging into the outfield seats. By coming before he turns 25, ohtani could be leaving tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars on the table. The timing of when you come to the majors could make a big, big, difference in terms of salary. Does that concern you . Ohtani translated personally, i dont care how much i get paid or how much less i get paid because of this. Wertheim this may be the rare case where its not about the money. Rather, the deal with ohtani may hinge on which team will let him keep pitching and hitting. You think hes in a position now where he can say to teams, listen, if youre not going to play me both ways, im probably not your guy. Gibson i think he wont even talk to them if they dont. Wertheim really . Gibson i think he wont even have a meeting with them. Wertheim no matter where he ends up, its hard to root against the great ohtani experiment. Here in sapporo, where his departure will be bittersweet, theyll be cheering the loudest. This cbs sports update is brought to you by the lincoln motor company.
