Shohei Ohtani opens up about being in the spotlight ahead of Dodgers’ Tokyo games: ‘Don’t let those kids down’

The Basic League baseball season officially starts with a two-step world-defending world champion Los Angeles Dodger and Chicago cubs on Tuesday. In many other things, this series brings the world’s largest baseball star, Shohey Otia, to his home country, to start his third MVP prize.

The bilateral super star performed exclusive, sit-in interview with CBS evening news with the expectation of the series.

“I’m not perfect, but thank you right now here, including all the shortcomings,” Ohandani, CBS News Library Adam Yamaguchi. “I am also really grateful to the people in America who helped to develop and bring baseball to Japan.”

Although Ohtan continues to break the posts that do not imagine before, including the first player, he registers 50 houses in one season and 50 stolen bases, comparisons never stop. The easiest. Babe Ruth, few, and the field, and hit, as it does to Okhan.

“Babe Ruth is one of the best players that I respect, so compared to example, as an example, such a player that I always feel is very special for me,” Ohan said.

But for today’s baseball youth, Ohtani is their hero, a man who can do what is almost no one else can and does it almost. This focus is on pressure, both the field and out.

“It means a lot to me when children who play baseball say they want to be Shohei Ohtani,” he said. “I feel strong responsibility to make sure that I do not allow those children.”

So far he is sure that he did not leave anyone in the field.

Ohtani, 30, hit .310 / .390 / .646 (190 OPS +) 38 doubles, 54 household driving, 130 RBI, 134, winning his first NL MVP in two previous season. When he did not win, he was a runner in 2022. He moved to DH DUTY last season, remaining fur, as he was restored by large elbow surgery. He will return this season later, but the year will open as dodgers’ DH because they are pursuing double world series cup.
