Referring to Japan's 3-2 win over the U.S on Tuesday, in which Ohtani put on a dominant pitching display, Sharpe said: 'Skip, look what he did. Sharpe noted that US sports broadcasters aren't doing Ohtani justice by not often showing his talent and skills on TV, due to the fact that the Japanese two-way player is a member of the LA Angels - a team that hasn't reached the postseason since 2014 If he was at say, New York, or with Boston with the Red Sox.

We don't get an opportunity to see this greatness on display like if he was LA Dodgers.

He can literally make $50million a year and he'd be underpaid. if he's 24 years old, he could be the first guy to get a $500million contract. Not very many people who are alive to see Babe Ruth and his exploits. I mean, wouldn't bear people to hear the stories. 'Will we ever see it again? I don't know. He's everything,' he added, referring to Ohtani. 'Skip, you know sometimes how the quarterback isn't necessarily the best player, but you know, he's more valuable,' the first NFL tight end to ever amass more than 10,000 receiving yards said. Sharpe then, of course, made a football analogy, knowing all too well about being a fundamental player on a team without necessarily playing in a key position, having played as a tight-end in the NFL for 14 seasons, primarily with the Denver Broncos.
