Baseball and world wide impact?? Huge impact in US and Japan for sure but not world wide impact…. Bruce Lee had world wide impact but not many ppl know who ohtani is besides Japan, US, and few other country

yeah, the way things have gone there the past few years, it's easy to see why this choice was made. I can't think of any player that was able to stay on the field last year. Rengifo?
As a Jays fan, I knew he wasn't coming. As a baseball fan, I will root for his success with the Dodgers. As with most Asians, we follow wherever he goes. Sorry Angels but it was a fun 6 years.
Even though i have to wait longer to hear what Shohei said, it sures makes it worthwhile to wait for Ippei to start translating. I almost believe Ippei is just making some words up for the American audience 😅
I'm so used to seeing Shohei in Angels uniform, it looks strange seeing him in blue. Angeles have the best uniforms. Shohei lost weight. Cant wait to see him play.
Understanding some words in a sentence doesnt mean you know English. Wtf is wrong with people who think that. I live in Japan, i can speak a bit but everything thinks I know 100% because i understand some things. Crazy
im his fan..sad he leaving..but i really wanna see him on playoff and world series...i dont wanna him end up like ichiro...he archives so many but never get a ring
I am Japanese myself and would like to see Shohei Otani win. I'm glad he moved to a team that can win. He had negotiations with the Angels at the end, and he still wanted to stay, but the owners didn't see eye to eye, so I don't blame them.
I don't know that Arte is really willing to do what is needed for the Angeles to really be competitive for the post season, much less make a legit Series run. Honestly, if he was, he would have unloaded Shohei for several kings ransoms in trades, picks, trade picks, whole farm teams, you name it.
One concern I have is Dodger Stadium is one of the most pitcher friendly parks. He likely will hit less home runs than when he was an Angel. The problem with Dodger Stadium is with the L.A. desert climate, temperature drops quickly after the sun sets. Somehow, this causes a draft to blow inward from the outfield in late innings on night games, causing what is normally a home run to become a routine fly ball. Angel Stadium just 40 miles south doesn't have this issue is much. Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman should request the Dodgers to redesign the outfield bleachers to reduce that late inning draft and at least make Dodger Stadium pitcher/hitter neutral which will allow Dodgers to sign more sluggers in the future. Some sluggers don't want to join the Dodgers for this reason.
It actually is a lot more neutral than what you are saying. And both sides of the outfield have very low walls to the pull side. And with Ohtani’s power the wind draft won’t matter much. And I believe angels stadium has farther dimensions than dodger stadium.
@@beastly2823Angel stadium has longer and deeper dimensions than dodger stadium at 350 and 347 down the lines and 396 and 400 to center but the ball travels well in Anaheim. Not so much at Dodger Stadium.
Ohtani is paid 2 Million per year, and then fully paid in the end of contract. Inflation adjusted, 680 millions in 2033 is going to be lower than current value. John Fisher playbook on players contract. I kind of suspect Dodgers don't have that much amount, which realistically his teammates should not have very high contract in his few last contract years unless dodgers taking loan to pay him, which the playbook is to avoid loan..
I'm waiting for someone to ask him about the possibility of transitioning from starting pitcher... to maybe middle relief or a closer? Would this maybe cut down on the "wear and tear?"
pitching in relief means he has to go to the bullpen and go back in forth while in the game DH ing. And he would have to do that everyday, as opposed to only on starting pitching days. That would be much more of a wear and tear, man. Aint gonna happen.
Love Shohei. He is always nice and humble. He has respect towards everyone. True sportsman
Exactly
Let’s see how good he is under pressure
Impressed with the interviewer. She is a professional & polite. Good luck to all - Dodgers + Fans + Shohei from a Met Fan NYC
She asked Shohei the best questions, great job Kirsten
yea way better than the press conference questions
I was going to say the same thing. This interview was great
This was the best she’s ever been w/the Dodgers. It was pretty rough her first year, but Kirsten is def improving!
Was thinking the same thing, great questions and great interview.
Except for the extra head bobbing, but I suppose I would do it too
I mainly watch Boxing, NFL, and NBA. This man is the single reason i now tune into MLB.
Me too 😊
Same.,😊❤
Love Shohei. Yes he is indeed a Dodger but will always be an Angel as well. LA is lucky to have Shohei.
Much better questions than the press conference.
That so crazy the reporter make acknowledgement not only to interviewee shoehei but also the translator ippei. Ippei is becoming a household name in baseball communities.
he sure has
Welcome Ohtani! Let’s go Dodgers! LA born and raised! LA❤️🇯🇵
not since bruce lee has an asian man made such a worldwide impact... much love and respect from your big fans at spain. bravo! bravo!

Is Yamamoto gonna Sign with Dodgers?
still will fall in first round
Great interview Kirsten, good questions for our new Team member!!!
which questions are actually good?
All of them@@timw8646
Her question is excellent and Shohei’s answer is to the point , and feels good❤
I didn't catch this part, thank you for posting!
I'm a Angels fan 😢 but I'm looking forward to see sports net do their doc series with him
yeah, the way things have gone there the past few years, it's easy to see why this choice was made. I can't think of any player that was able to stay on the field last year. Rengifo?
come to the Dodgers bandwagon
I'm looking forward to the 30 for 30 in a decade about the Angels not trading him this year.
I wonder how hard that just set back the poor Angels.

Shohei looks great in blue, and so will Ippei!
he is!! his cards are going up and up and up
She was professional on this.
通訳って記憶力もいりますよね
Shohei Ohtani looks so handsome 😍
In his contract, he got a fancy suite for the translator each game. What a good boss to work for
He just went for a walk with Dekopin or relaxed on the couch while everyone else was fussing over him.😂
Even though i have to wait longer to hear what Shohei said, it sures makes it worthwhile to wait for Ippei to start translating. I almost believe Ippei is just making some words up for the American audience 😅
Ippei has the best job in the world!
Ippei's translation of the dog part was slick.

I thought that the city uni (or whatever those were called) was the best.
FYI Ohtani wants to speak japanese bec.japanese fans could understand.He can speak in English...
FYI
Yes. Thank you for still communicating with the Japanese fans and media first and foremost.
Japanese media won't twist his words, so he is probably very careful in the US.
これだけの年俸金額のプレッシャーにも関わらず、これから楽しみって言えるの凄すぎ。

Shohei's shy character is healing?
It's the first time I've seen he's looking straight at the face of a female caster during the interview.
He used to stare female reporters straight in the eye in Japan though.
Did he not do that when he was with the Angels?
Shohei is more stoic than shy and has always been cautious since he was targeted by many female reporters in Japan.
This reporter has prepared her assignment well, and Shohei pays respect, attending to her questions. He treated her as a reporter, not as a female.
Ohtani: makes eye contact with a female reporter
Japanese media: "BRAKING NEWS⚠️Ohtani flirting with a reporter💋Are they dating!?!?!?🤔"
im his fan..sad he leaving..but i really wanna see him on playoff and world series...i dont wanna him end up like ichiro...he archives so many but never get a ring
Good job,Ippei san !
Dekopin is a Japanese word for hitting someone on the forehead by snapping their fingers together. I think it's interesting to name it that way.
Shohei🎉Greatness🎉
Used to watch the Angels and he carried the team.
To where ? Last place.

I feel like you can hear him lighten up when the questions switch from contract/free agency to actual baseball.
They took Ippei too! 😖
Ippei is a package deal and has the best gig.
I think we should all thank spectrum for ohtani they gonna pay it down the road 😂😂
It doesn't seem real. Shohei is finally where he belongs, in Dodger Blue. Vin is smiling from above.
Can’t believe they don’t provide a translator for the Aussie players

Hello Ippei😂
Is he bringing the HR Kubuto/helmet with him?
That’s what he said to the Angels and Mike Trout.
Why does it feel like Shohei is about to sell me an ice cream
Welcome to Hollywood 🎬📺
Her jacket fits Dodger blue. So cool.
今となっては貴重な・・・
Idk but in my opinion we got a big 4 with Will Smith 😤
Smith isn't near the caliber of those 3 (yet), but you're right. He deserves the respect too, as he's a great player.
wow, so the Dodgers even asked a movie star to join the meeting!
Respectfully agreed 🙏🏽🫡
He won't pitch for a year right? I think I read it somewhere. 🤔
yes, he will be only a dh in 2024.
Copium is strong
they say back in japan he spent $4,000 in 2 years
because the team and his sponsors would pay for all the necessities
Doesn’t mean he can’t spend his own money
Moot point

What's the difference between this time and the last time the Dodgers recruited you?
About $658,000,000
I also think it was the lack of a DH position in the NL at the time.
No, it is not that small.
In 2017 the amount was like 2-3 Mil.
SO the difference is more like 697,000,000
