On a tangentially related note, you know who runs out every single ground ball at 110 percent? Ohtani's teammate, Hyeseong Kim. Every single ground ball he thinks he's going to beat it out.

Not always the most efficient play in baseball, but watching Willie Wilson or Ichiro lay down a normally routine ground ball, and watch them try to leg it out for an infield single was always incredibly exciting.
Neither guy walked a lot, so that was sort of their way of getting on base that wasn’t in most players toolboxes.
