Shohei Ohtani (30, Los Angeles Dodgers) thanked his teammates and team for supporting the former interpreter “Mizuhara Ifei’s gambling scandal.”
According to Japan’s Jiji Press, Ohtani conducted an interview before the game against the Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C. today (25th), and when asked about his feelings of being betrayed by a person he believed in regarding the former interpreter “Mizuhara Ifei’s illegal gambling scandal,” he said, “I often feel grateful for those things because there are many people who support me more than I lost.”
He then jokingly said, “Isn’t the new interpreter cool?”
Ohtani appeared shaken earlier this season by the scandal but soon recovered.
He reported his 176th home run in the big league while drawing his fifth arch of the season on the 13th.
With 175 home runs, he beat Hideki Matsui, who previously had the record for most home runs in the MLB. 메이저사이트
In addition, he started as the second designated hitter in the 2024 MLB match against Washington at National Park in Washington, DC, and hit hard with three hits, two RBIs, and two runs in six times at bat.
With all three hits contributing to his team’s three-game winning streak, Ohtani also contributed to his team’s third consecutive win. He also increased his on-base-plus-slugging record to 22 games.
Ohtani’s batting average for the season has risen from 0.364 to 0.371 (39 hits in 105 at-bats), with nine consecutive hits so far.
