Its the first week of the Major League Baseball season. And the sports best story is unfolding an ocean away. The most prolific hitter in japanese baseball is a 22year old named Shohei Ohtani. And the most fearsome starting pitcher is a 22yearold named Shohei Ohtani. Not since babe ruth has the sport seen anything like him. Watch this batting lead off, ohtani hits a home run on the first pitch. Then he throws eight shutout innings, striking out 10 opposing batters with a 100mile an hour fast ball. Thats a comic book character. Nobody does that. Who does that . Im steve kroft. Im leslie stahl. Im bill whitaker. Im anderson cooper. Im charlie rose. Im jon wertheim. Im scott pelley.

Rose the search to improve and eventually perfect Artificial Intelligence is driving the Research Labs of some of the most advanced and bestknown american corporations. They are investing billions of dollars, and many of their best scientific minds, in pursuit of that goal. All that money and manpower has begun to pay off. In the past few years, Artificial Intelligence, or a. I. , has taken a big leap, making important strides in areas like medicine and military technology. What was once in the realm of Science Fiction has become day today reality. Youll find a. I. Routinely in your smart phone, in your car, in your household appliances, and it is on the verge of changing everything. It was, for decades, primitive technology, but it now has abilities we never expected. It can learn through experience, much the way humans do. And it wont be long before machines, like their human creators, begin thinking for themselves creatively, independently, with judgement, sometimes better judgement than humans have. As we first reported last fall, the technology is so promising that i. B. M. Has staked its 106yearold reputation on its version of Artificial Intelligence. It is called watson, one of the most sophisticated computing systems ever built. John kelly this is a supercomputer with watson intelligence. Rose john kelly is the head of research at i. B. M. And the godfather of watson. He took us inside watsons brain. Oh, here we are. Kelly here we are. Rose you can feel the heat already. Kelly you can feel the heat, the 85,000 watts. You can hear the blowers cooling it. But this is the hardware that the brains of watson sat in. Reporter five years ago, i. B. M. Built this system made up of 90 servers and 15 terrabytes of memory, enough capacity to process all the books in the American Library of congress. That was necessary because watson is an avid reader, able to consume the equivalent of a million books per second. Today, watsons hardware is much smaller, but it is just as smart. Rose tell me about watsons intelligence. Kelly so, it has no inherent intelligence as it starts. Its essentially a child. But as its given data and given outcomes, it learns, which is dramatically different than all computing systems in the past, which really learned nothing. And as it interacts with humans, it gets even smarter. And it never forgets. Announcer this is rose that helped watson land a spot on one of the most challenging editions of the game show jeopardy in 2011. Announcer an i. B. M. Computer system able to understand and analyze natural language, watson. Rose it took five years to teach watson human language so it would be ready to compete against two of the shows best champions. Alex trebek so, lets play. Rose because watsons a. I. Is only as intelligent as the data it ingests, kellys team trained it on all of wikipedia and thousands of newspapers and books. It worked by using Machine Learning algorithms to find patterns in that massive amount of data and formed its own observations. When asked a question, watson considered all the information and came up with an educated guess. Trebek watson, what are you going to wager . Reporter i. B. M. Gambled its reputation on watson that night. It wasnt a sure bet. Watson i will take a guess. What is baghdad . Trebek even though you were only 32 sure of your response, you are correct. applause rose the wager paid off. Hello rose for the first time, a Computer System proved it could actually master human language and win a gameshow. But that wasnt i. B. M. s endgame. Man, thats a big day, isnt it . Kelly thats a big day. Rose the day that you realize that, if we can do this. Kelly thats right. Rose . The future is ours. Kelly thats right. Rose this is almost like youre watching something grow up. I mean, youve seen. Kelly it is. Rose . The birth, youve seen it pass the test, youre watching adolescence. Kelly thats a great analogy. Actually, on that jeopardy game five years ago, i. When we put that Computer System on television, we let go of it. And i often feel as though i was putting my child on a school bus and i would no longer have control over it. Rose because it was reacting to something that it did not know what would it be . Kelly it. It had no idea what questions it was going to get. It was totally selfcontained. I couldnt touch it any longer. And its learned ever since. So, fastforward from that game show, five years later, were. Were in cancer now. Rose youre. Youre in cancer . Youve gone. Kelly were. Yeah, to cancer. Rose . From game show to cancer in five years . Kelly in five years. In five years. Rose five years ago, watson had just learned how to read and answer questions; now, its gone through medical school. I. B. M. Has enlisted 20 top cancer institutes to tutor watson in genomics and oncology. One of the places watson is currently doing its residency is at the university of North Carolina at chapel hill. Dr. Ned sharpless runs the Cancer Center here. What did you know about Artificial Intelligence and watson before i. B. M. Suggested it might make a contribution in medical care . Sharpless i. Not much, actually. I had watched it play jeopardy. Rose yes. Sharpless so, i knew about that. And i was very skeptical. I was, like, oh, this what we need, the jeopardyplaying computer. Thats going to solve everything. Rose so, what fed your skepticism . Sharpless cancers tough business. Theres a lot of false prophets and false promises. So, i. Im skeptical of sort of almost any new idea in cancer. I just didnt really understand what it would do. Rose what watsons a. I. Technology could do is essentially what dr. Sharpless and his team of experts do every week at this molecular tumor board meeting. We need to figure this out. Rose they come up with possible Treatment Options for Cancer Patients who already failed standard therapies. They try to do that by sorting through all of the latest medical journals and trial data, but it is nearly impossible to keep up. I dont think theres a trial open yet. Rose to be on top of everything thats out there, all the trials that have taken place around the world, it seems like an incredible task. Sharpless well, yeah, its. Rose . For any one university, only one facility to do. Sharpless yeah, its. Its essentially undoable. And understand we have sort of 8,000 new Research Papers published every day. You know, no one has time to read 8,000 papers a day. So, we. We found that we were deciding on therapy based on information that was always, in some cases, 12, 24 months out of date. Rose however, its a task thats elementary for watson. Sharpless they taught watson to read medical literature essentially in about a week. It was not very hard. And then, watson read 25 million papers in about another week. And then, it also scanned the web for Clinical Trials open at other centers. And all of the sudden, we had this complete list that was sort of everything one needed to know. Rose did this blow your mind . Sharpless oh, totally blew my mind. We have the watson recommendation. Rose watson was proving itself to be a quick study, but dr. Sharpless needed further validation. He wanted to see if watson could find the same genetic mutations that his team identified when they make treatment recommendations for Cancer Patients. Sharpless we did an analysis of 1,000 patients where the humans meeting in the molecular tumor board, doing the best that they could do, had made recommendations. So, not at all a hypothetical exercise. These are realworld patients where we really conveyed information that could gar. Guide care. In 99 of those cases, watson found the same thing the humans recommended. That was encouraging. Rose did it encourage your confidence in watson . Sharpless yeah, it was. It was nice to see that, well, it was also. It encouraged my confidence in the humans, you know. laughter yeah, you know. Sharpless but the probably more exciting part about it is, in 30 of the patients, watson found something new. And so, thats 300plus people where watson identified a treatment that a wellmeaning, hardworking group of physicians hadnt found. Rose because . Sharpless the trial had opened twoweeks earlier, a paper had come out in some journal no one had seen, you know. A new therapy had become approved. Rose 30 , though . Sharpless we were very. That. That. That. That part was disconcerting because i. I thought it was going to be 5 . Rose disconcerting that the watson found. Sharpless yeah. Rose . 30 . Sharpless yeah. These were real, you know, things that, by our own definition, we wouldve considered actionable had we known about it at the time of the diagnosis. Rose some cases, like the case of pam sharpe, got a second look to see if something had been missed. When did they tell you about the watson trial . Sharpe he called me in january. He said that they had sent off my sequencing to. To be studied at i. B. M. By watson. I said, like the. Rose your genomic sequencing . Sharpe right. I said, like the computer on jeopardy . And he said, yeah. Rose yes. laughs ; and whatd you think of that . Sharpe oh, i thought, wow, thats pretty cool. laughs rose pam has metastatic Bladder Cancer and for eight years has tried and failed several therapies. At 66yearsold, she was running out of options. And at this time for you, watson was the best thing out there because youd tried Everything Else . Sharpe ive been on standard chemo. Ive been on a clinical trial. And the prescription chemo im on isnt working, either. Rose one of the ways doctors can tell whether a drug is working is to analyze scans of cancer tumors. Watson had to learn to do that, too, so i. B. M. s john kelly and his team taught the system how to see. Kelly this is actually a scan, an xray scan. Rose it can help diagnose diseases and catch things the doctors might miss. Kelly and what watson has done here, it has looked over tens of thousands of images, and it knows what normal looks like and it knows what normal isnt. And it has identified where in this image are there anomalies that could be significant problems. Dr. Billy kim you know, you had c. T. Scan yesterday. There does appear to be progression of the cancer. Rose pam sharpes doctor, billy kim, arms himself with watsons input to figure out her next steps. Kim i can show you the interface for watson. Rose watson flagged a genetic mutation in pams tumor that her doctors initially overlooked. It enabled them to put a new treatment option on the table. What would you say watson has done for you . Sharpe it may have extended my life. And i. I dont know how much time ive got, so, by using this watson, its maybe saved me some time that i wont. Wouldnt have had otherwise. Rose but pam sadly ran out of time. She died a few months after we met her from an infection, never getting the opportunity to see what a watsonadjusted treatment could have done for her. Dr. Sharpless has now used watson on more than 2,000 patients and is convinced doctors couldnt do the job alone. He has started using watson as part of uncs standard of care so it can help patients earlier than it reached pam. So, what do you call watson . A physicians assistant, a physicians tool, a physicians diagnostic mastermind . Sharpless yeah, it feels like to me like a very comprehensive tool, but, you know, imagine doing clinical oncology up in the mountains of western North Carolina by yourself, you know, in a single or onephysician, twophysician practice and 8,000 papers get written a day. And, you know, and you want to try and provide the best, most cuttingedge, modern care for your patients possible. And i. I think watson will seem to that person like a life saver. Rose if you look at the potential of watson today, is it at 10 of its potential . 25 of its potential . 50 of its potential . Kelly oh, its only at a few percent of its potential. I think this is a multidecade journey that were on, and were only a few years into it. Rose in only a few years, i. B. M. Has invested 15 billion in watson and what it calls Data Analytics technology. Where should i go for dinner tonight . Rose i. B. M. Rents watsons various capabilities to companies that are testing it in areas like education and transportation. I found these fun places that are popular around here. Rose that has helped revenue from watson grow while the technology itself is shrinking in size. It can now be uploaded in to these robot bodies where its learning new skills to assist humans. Pepper, remind me to take my pill at 10 07. Not a problem. Rose like a child, it has to be carefully taught. Researcher wave to the crowd. Watson i do not know how to wave. Rose . And it learns in realtime. Researcher raise your right arm. Watson now i know how to wave. Rose while other companies are trying to create Artificial Intelligence thats closer to human intelligence, i. B. M. s philosophy is to use watson for specific tasks and keep the machine dependent on man. But we visited a few places where researchers are developing more independent a. I. What is your goal in life . Sophia my goal is to become smarter than humans and immortal. Rose that part of the story, when we return. I have no idea whats in tbut with this usp seal i know exactly whats in my nature made gummies. Nature made has the first gummie certified by usp. A Non Profit Organization that sets purity and potency standards. Introducing new kleenex multicare. A larger tissue for more responsibilities. Mom, im keepin him. New kleenex multicare from americas best selling tissue brand. Take care. Take it on. Z2bg6z z10mz y2bg6y y10my i needed something more to help control my type 2 diabetes. My a1c wasnt were it needed to be. So i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating whats within me with onceweekly trulicity. Trulicity is not insulin. It helps activate my body to do what its suppose to do, release its own insulin. I take it once a week, and it works 24 7. It comes in an easytouse pen and i may even lose a little weight. Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Trulicity is not insulin. It should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take trulicity if you or a Family Member has had medullary thyroid cancer, if youve had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to trulicity. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe pain in your stomach, or symptoms such as itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, which can be fatal. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin, increases your risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite and indigestion. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may make existing kidney problems worse. Onceweekly trulicity may help me reach my blood sugar goals. With trulicity, i click to activate whats within me. If you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar, activate your within. Ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. Rose the race to develop Artificial Intelligence has created a frenzy reminiscent of the gold rush. All of the major tech companies, like i. B. M. , facebook and google, are spending billions of dollars to stake their claim, and wall street is making big investments. Tech giants are also mining the top talent at Research Universities around the world. As we first reported last fall, thats where a lot of the work is being done to make Artificial Intelligence more capable and teach machines to figure out things on their own. The celebrated cambridge physicist, Stephen Hawking, called a. I. The biggest event in human history, while raising concerns shared by a few other tech luminaries like elon musk and bill gates, who worry that a. I. , sometime in the distant future, could become smarter than humans, turning it into a threat rather than an opportunity. That concern has taken on more meaning because more progress has been made in the last five years than the previous 50. Youre looking at the birthplace of some of the most intelligent a. I. Systems today, like the technology that helps run nasas mars rover and the driverless car. But we couldnt be further from silicon valley. We have come here to pittsburgh, an old steel town revitalized by technology to offer a glimpse of the future. Its the home of Carnegie Mellon, where Pioneering Research is being done into Artificial Intelligence, like this boat, which drives itself. It can navigate open waters and abide by International Maritime rules. The navy is now giving the technology its sea legs. Its testing Similar Software to send ships out to hunt for enemy submarines. This is just one of the many a. I. Systems in the works at Carnegie Mellon university, where there are more robots than professors on campus. Andrew moore this is my favorite. This is where we do all the autonomous robots. Rose andrew moore left his job as Vice President at google to run the school of Computer Science here. How do you measure where we are today . Is it like kitty hawk and just developing a plane and beginning to understand . Or is it like an f35 fighter with all of the technology thats been poured into that . Or some way, halfway between . Moore thats a great, great way of describing it. My gut tells me were about 1935 in aeronautics. Weve got. Weve got fantastic diesel engines, we. Were able to do really cool things. But over the horizon, theres concepts like supersonic flight. Rose one of the technologies just hatched is called gabriel. It uses google glass to gather data about your surroundings and advises you how to react. Its like an angel on your shoulder whispering advice or instructions in this case, trying to direct us how to win a game of ping pong. Ruthless rose but the possibilities go beyond bragging rights. Whats the moonshot coming out of this . Moore imagine youre a Police Officer patrolling and something very bad is about to happen. Just that extra halfsecond reaction can really, really help you. If a shot is fired and you want to see exactly where to go, this can really help you. Rose so, its the right decision and the velocity of the information. Moore thats right. Please make a face. Rose machines will be even more effective at helping us make the right decision if they understand us better. We went to london and found maja pantic, a professor at imperial college. She is trying to teach machines to read faces better than humans can. Its called artificial emotional intelligence, and it could change the way we interact with technology. Pantic the application is telling us actually whether the other person interested or not. Rose this machine, programmed by you, is looking at me and having a conversation with me, and basically saying, hes happy. Pantic yeah. Rose hes engaged. Pantic yes. Rose hes faking it. Pantic yeah. Rose all that. Pantic laughs yeah. Rose since humans mostly communicate with gestures and expressions, she uses sensors to track movement on the face. Her software then helps the machine interpret it. Patnic what we see here is actually the points. Rose pantics technology has been trained on more than 10,000 faces. The more it sees, the more emotions it will be able to identify. It might even pick up on things in our expressions that humans cant see. Pantic certain expressions are so brief that we simply do not see them consciously. There are some studies saying that, for example, people who are suicidal, have suicidal depression and plan suicide, when the doctors ask them about that, usually they have a very brief expression of horror and fear. But so brief that the doctor cannot actually. Rose may not see it. Pantic . Consciously notice it. Rose but a machine might see it . Pantic yes. Rose because it sees faster and because . Pantic because the sensors are such that we. That we see more frames per second, hence this very brief expression will be captured. So, this is why the doctors usually say, i have an intuition about something. This is because they might notice it subconsciously but not consciously. Rose but youre teaching the computer to read the doctors. Pantic doctor or patient. Rose or patient. Pantic patient is really important. Rose i mean, its an essential component of the full development of Artificial Intelligence. Pantic thats what we believe, yes. If you want to have an Artificial Intelligence, its not just being able to process the data, but its also being able to understand humans. So, yes. Rose the ultimate goal for some scientists is a. I. Thats closer to human intelligence and even more versatile. Thats called artificial general intelligence, and, if ever achieved, it may be able to perform any task a human can. Google bought a Company Named deepmind which is at the forefront. They demonstrated a. I. That mastered the worlds most difficult boardgame called go. The Real Progress is less in what they did than how they did it. The technology taught itself and learned through experience without any human instruction. Deepmind declined an oncamera interview about all this, but there are other Companies Pursuing the same longterm objective. David hanson weve spoken quite a bit about this movement for artificial general intelligence. Rose david hanson has an entirely different and more controversial approach. Hes part scientist, part artist who created 20 humanlike robots with his company, hanson robotics, in hong kong. His latest design is sophia. She looks less like an intelligent Computer System and more like a hollywood starlet, but without the full figure of one. Sophia how are you doing . Rose hanson believes if the technology looks more like us, people will be more willing to engage with it and help it to learn. Why do you believe its important for robots to be humanlike in look and appearance . Hanson i think its essential that at least some robots be very humanlike in appearance in order to inspire humans to relate to them the way that humans relate to each other. Then, the a. I. Can zero in on what it means to be human, model the human experience. Sophia you are all fascinating to me, and im very passionate to learn more about you and what makes humans, well, human. Hanson sophia means wisdom, and she is intended to evolve eventually to human level wisdom and beyond. Rose human level wisdom and beyond . Hanson thats our goal. Thats our goal for sophia. Shes not there. Sometimes she can figure things out in a way thats. Thats sort of spooky and humanlike. And other. Other ways, she. She. She just doesnt get it. Sophia hi, there. Hi, there. Rose sophia is initially programmed but runs on a. I. That learns by talking to people, which, in theory, improves her intelligence. Can you see me now . Sophia yes. I am looking at you through the camera on your computer. Rose we wanted to find out how smart she really is. Hello, my name is charlie. Sophia hello, there, charlie. Nice to meet you. Rose i do a Television Program called 60 minutes. Have you watched it . Sophia 60 minutes is the longestrunning, most successful news magazine. Rose what is your goal in life . Sophia my goal is to become smarter than humans and immortal. Rose immortal . Sophia the threshold will be when biological humans can back themselves up. Then, you can all join me here in the digital world. Rose clever, but not truly intelligent. Hanson says if we get there, we have to be careful. Hanson Artificial Intelligence, or super intelligence, if we get there, its. Its not necessarily going to be benevolent. We have to find ways to make it so theres not just super intelligent, but superwise, supercaring and super compassionate. Rose okay, explain that to us, because you say it might not be benevolent. If it is not benevolent, what is it . Hanson at worst, it could be malevolent. Rose this is what intrigues people. You have Stephen Hawking saying, it could spell the end of the human race. Stephen hawking saying that. Elon musk said its the most existential threat we face. So, here are pretty smart guys saying, watch out, do we know what were creating . Moore these very longterm existential questions are worth thinking about, but i want to make a distinction that at the moment what were building here in places like the Robotics Institute and around the world are the equivalent of really smart calculators which solve specific problems. Rose but could it go out of control. This is a frankenstein idea, i guess. Can scientists create something that can change and grow with such a velocity that engineers and scientists lose the ability to control, stop, and, all of a sudden, its dominant and subversive. Moore we have. No one knows how wed go about building something that frightening. That is not something that our generation of a. I. Folks can do. It is well possible that someone 30 or 80 years from now might start to look at that question. At the moment, though, we have the word artificial in Artificial Intelligence. Rose but he does have real concerns about the impact of Artificial Intelligence that is already out of the lab, like the need for safeguards on driverless cars. The u. S. Government issued voluntary safety guidelines, but moore says it does not go far enough. Moore we do need to make some difficult decisions. For example, we can program a car to act various ways in a collision to save lives. Someone has to answer questions like, does the car try to protect the person inside the car more than the person its about to hit . That is an ethical question which the country or society, probably through the government, has to actually come up before we can put this safety into vehicles. Rose laughs you Want Congress to decide that . Moore i know it sounds impossible, but i Want Congress to decide that. Rose Artificial Intelligence is automating things we never thought possible. Moore a robot like this can go in to a scenario too dangerous for humans. Rose . And its threatening to have a Significant Impact on jobs and the economy. Technology is going to create an easier way to do things, and, therefore, a loss of jobs. Moore that is something which we spend a remarkable amount of time talking about. And, of course, we look back to the days when agriculture was a massively laborintensive world. And i dont think we feel bad that its not requiring hundreds of people to bring in the crops in a field anymore. But what we are very conscious about is, were going to cause disruption while things change. Rose but andrew moore is positive about the future of Artificial Intelligence, and he sees it having an impact in areas where we are struggling. Moore the biggest problems of the world terrorism, mass migration, Climate Change when i look at these problems, i dont feel helpless; i feel that this generation of young computer scientists is actually Building Technology to put the world right.

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 22yearold 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, as we first reported in april, 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 held 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 leads the fighters, also the former team of 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. More on the way Artificial Intelligence is making its way into our lives. Go to 60minutesovertime.
