1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Hello, Blue Dreamers. We'll get back to our series on 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: the MV three, the three Most Valuable Player Award winners 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: batting at the top of the Dodgers lineup this year. 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: With our next episode today, we're doing something a little different. 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: The idea for this episode comes to us from a 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: listener submitted question, Hello, and thank you for calling Dodger 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: Blue dream Please leave a voicemail. 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: Hi Richard. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 3: My name is Keric. I'm a yoga teacher in Los Angeles. 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: I was a big Dodger fan in the late seventies, 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 3: and I was heartbroken when the Dodgers lost the World 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: Series to the Yankees in seventy seven. In seventy eight, 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: so I stopped following them as closely for decades. I 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: started following the Dodgers again this season, mostly because of Showyotani. 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: I'm japping he's American and that drives my interest in 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: Show Hey. But I also realize that I really have 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 3: had the Dodgers in my heart this whole time. The 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: Dodgers have always been my team. I tried to watch 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 3: or listen to every game. As I watch Show Hey, 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: I noticed that he looks like he's holding his breath 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 3: every time he swings. Look at every photo of him swinging, 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: or watch any video. His cheeks are puffed out at 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: the point of contact and even after the point of contact. 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: I think he is holding his breath. I assume that 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: he is doing this on purpose, because nothing is without 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 3: purpose and Otani swing. As a yoga teacher, I teach 27 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 3: students to keep the breath flowing, and I teach them 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 3: to move with their breath and yoga. Holding the breath 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 3: impedes the flow of energy, limits oxygen to the muscles, 30 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: and generally slows the body down, none of which would 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: seem to be advantageous to swinging a bat. I have 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: not seen another hitter hold their breath like Show Hey, 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: doesn't Sieron Judge or Bryce Harper holding their breath. So 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: what gives is holding his breath when he swings? 35 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: Is Show Hey Otani holding his breath when he swings? 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: This is not an easy question to try to answer, 37 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: but try I shall. Welcome to Dodger Blue Dream. I'm 38 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: Richard Parks. Today's episode Show Hay's breath. If you've watched 39 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: Show Hey, Swing, you know what Kerk is talking about. 40 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Show Hay's stance is remarkably still, and as he awaits 41 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: a pitch, his face is blank and expressionless, lips softly 42 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: pursed in a bit of a pout. But in the 43 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: moment when he explodes with a swing, his face totally changes, 44 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: going from a blank stare to an exaggerated state of dilation. 45 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: He looks like a squirrel with a mouthful of nuts. 46 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: And it's always the same every time he swings. Show 47 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Hay's hitting abilities are super human. He hits the ball harder, 48 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: it goes farther, and it sounds different coming off the bat. 49 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: For more about that, check out our last episode Show 50 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Hay at the Bat. But as with everything about Show Hey, 51 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: the specifics of his techniques are shrouded in mystery. Could 52 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: it be that something about his breath is part of 53 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the secret sauce for how he's able to hit the 54 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: ball farther than anybody else and harder, Or maybe it's 55 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the thing that's holding him back, a natural born instinct 56 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: that keeps him from achieving even greater things. How can 57 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: you tell if somebody's breathing or not? Anyway, hmm, let's 58 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: start with what we do know. Each day, on average, 59 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: we breathe twenty thousand times that's seven and a half 60 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: million breaths each year. As any god fearing yoga studio 61 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: membership card carrying Angelino knows, breathing with intentionality can be 62 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: incredibly powerful and useful. Breathing can help trigger the parasympathetic 63 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: nervous system, the mechanism that both helps relax your body 64 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: and provides for better blood flow. A recent study from 65 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Northwestern University found that the rhythm of breath creates electrical 66 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: activity in the brain that can improve emotional judgments and 67 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: memory recall. And of course, the act of breathing is 68 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: at the center of many spiritual practices, namely meditation, an 69 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: Eastern discipline imported to California by Japanese zen monks, which 70 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: is increasingly mainstream in the era of mobile digital technology, 71 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: and the commodification of wellness, spirituality, et cetera. And you 72 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: would think that contemporary athletes would be all over this, 73 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: that teams may be employed breathing experts or at labs 74 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: where they study the electrical currents produced throughout the body 75 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: with certain types of breath. But as I scoured around 76 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: for information about the connection between breathing and hitting in 77 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, I was surprised to find pretty much nothing. 78 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: It felt like a dead end. 79 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: Jim decided to go into the edit base and look 80 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: at video, and you noticed something. 81 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: Eventually I found something. A single MLB Network segment from 82 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. 83 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: Watch his mouth is open, which seems like, oh, you're 84 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: not supposed to open your mouth. 85 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Former Major leaguer Jim tell Mey is breaking down John 86 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton's performance at the plate. 87 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: But you can see there's a little bit of anxiety. 88 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: He's talking about how when Stanton was struggling earlier on 89 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: in the year, he was visibly huffing and puffing at 90 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: the plate, breathing through his mouth. 91 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 2: It was just an interesting thing to look for because 92 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: as a hitter, I remember getting oh two when I 93 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: was struggling, and I remember my breathing would get out 94 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: of way. 95 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: But then it looked like Stanton started breathing through his nose, 96 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: and that's when he got locked in and started hitting 97 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: more home runs. 98 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: And now we're in August. Watch how calm. In my opinion, 99 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: I think he's breathing through his nose. When you breathe 100 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: through your nose, Greg, everything becomes more relaxed. Everything slows 101 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: down and the next thing, you know, you know things, 102 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: especially your bat speed quick and so I think if 103 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: you watch the best guys in the game, you're gonna 104 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: see that, you know, breathing in through your nose. 105 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 4: Out through your mouth. It does something that anxiety. 106 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Show Hey could just be breathing through 107 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: his nose. One thing I've noticed watching Show Hey hit 108 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: every day is sometimes he makes these wild noises. I 109 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: assume noises you could only produce if you have a 110 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: decent amount of air in your lungs. I decided to 111 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: dig deeper. I reached out to Jared Diamond Jack Yep, 112 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: the author of a book called Swing Kings, a deep 113 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: dive into the hitting technique of famous Major League sluggers 114 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: like Justin Turner and Jad Martinez and the renegade hitting 115 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: instructors who helped these players revitalize their swings. 116 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 4: I have no other calls schedule for today at the moment. 117 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: This is not the Jared Diamond who wrote Guns, Germs, 118 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and Steel. It is the Jared Diamond from our last 119 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: episode Show Hey at the Bat. Perhaps more than any 120 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: other observer, Jared has spent time looking at swings and 121 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: what makes them work. If anyone would have anything to 122 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: say about the overlap between breathing and hitting, it would 123 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: be him. So his cheeks are often puffed out, and 124 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: so the question was, if he's doing this big exhale 125 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: as he swings, is he holding his breath. 126 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: I've never heard anything about any hitters of holding his breath, 127 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: whether intentionally or unintentionally, while hitting. I'm skeptical that it's 128 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 4: something he's doing on purpose, but I have noticed it. 129 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 4: I've never heard anything about players thinking about breathing while 130 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: they're actually swinging, So I am curious about that. When 131 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 4: I hear about hitting and breathing is much more about 132 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: sort of in the build up to the pitch than 133 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 4: during the actual swing. Right, the swing is very quick, 134 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 4: it's very violent. It's more of like an instinct what 135 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: I hear when I hear hitters talk about breathing. It 136 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 4: tends to be standing in the box sort of waiting 137 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 4: for the pitcher to get set. That's like, those are 138 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 4: a very important few seconds there when you're standing there 139 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: with a bat in your hand, in your setup, the 140 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 4: wait for the picture to come set and start that 141 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 4: delivery and be in that delivery. This one the hitters 142 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 4: always talk about that they don't want to be thinking 143 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: about anything at all at the plate, right. They want 144 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: their brain is completely empty, devoid of any thought when 145 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 4: they're hitting, because hitting is so much of a reaction, 146 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: and when you're thinking too much, it becomes hard to 147 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: react naturally and hit right. And so I hear a 148 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: lot of like making sure they I am breathing bietly, 149 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 4: that I am like finding ways to slow down my 150 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 4: heart rate, that I could that I could have that 151 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 4: sort of stillness both physically and mentally that's required to hit. 152 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: I do know that Otani is like he's very mindful. 153 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: He's like very into mindfulness sort of philosophically. You can't 154 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 4: get to where he is, the level he's at, with 155 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: the pressure he's under, if you don't have the remark 156 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: internal fortitude. When you watch Shoi otanis swing. It is 157 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 4: so powerful and designed for hitting the ball far. 158 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: One thing in particular stands out to Jared about show 159 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: his swing, how natural it is. 160 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 4: Naturally it clearly naturally picked up a bat one day 161 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 4: swung it, and this was the way he swung. It 162 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: is swinging to hit the ball as far as he 163 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 4: can hit the ball in the air, He's got that 164 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: sort of very beautiful uppercut, and every one of his 165 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: swings seems to be just full effort. It's like very majestic, 166 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 4: And yes, he hits the ball hard, but he also 167 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: hits the ball figh. He hits these towering flyballs home 168 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: runs to straightaway center field. When I think of Otani, 169 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 4: I really think of these why houring fly balls just 170 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 4: straight away centerfield to go over the center field fentyets. 171 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: It, high picks it, dude, to stay on the shin gone. 172 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 4: They're just some people that you put a bat in 173 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: their hands when their children and their bodies somehow just 174 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: innately know how to move in such a way that's 175 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 4: going to result in hitting the ball hard and hitting 176 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 4: the ball far. And Otani just, to me, it's someone 177 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 4: that was sort of blessed from birth with that innate understanding. 178 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: You might even say that for show Hey Otani, swinging 179 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: is as natural as breathing. As I waded through video 180 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: after video and photo after photo of Shohey's face as 181 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: he swung his bat, realized that it reminded me of something. 182 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Diz He Gillespie, the famous jazz trumpeter, always iconically had 183 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: enormous bloated cheeks when he played trumpet, Even though musically 184 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: he's considered a genius. Gillespie's puffy cheeks are held up 185 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: as an example of what not to do when you're 186 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: playing trumpet. But it was something that he did naturally. 187 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: He was self taught, and it was a thing that 188 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: only really worked for his style. He also played a 189 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: trumpet that was bent at a forty five degree angle. 190 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: So is Shoho Tani holding his breath when he swings 191 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: a baseball bat? Is it what makes him so great? Maybe? 192 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: Whatever it is, as long as it results in more 193 00:13:45,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: big home runs, I'm all for it. If you have information, observations, 194 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: or expertise that could help us get to the bottom 195 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: of the mystery around whether Sho hey O Tani is 196 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: holding his breath or not while swinging, please call our 197 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: voicemail hotline three two three eight one three six six 198 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: three four will end with a breathing exercise. 199 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: Hey, Dodger Vans, this is carrot Krick.
