Shohei Ohtani is in the midst of another tremendous season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the NL with 32 home runs and 91 runs at the All-Star break. The Japanese superstar got back on the mound, too, a huge achievement after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. It's going pretty well there, too; Ohtani has allowed one run in nine innings pitched so far.
Now, the reigning MVP is proving he can really do it all by coming out with a children's book.
On Thursday Ohtani surprised the baseball world by revealing he had co-written a children's book about his dog, Decoy. The title? Decoy Saves Opening Day.
Tremendous content. And what can't this man do? He hits so well he's a perennial MVP candidate as a DH, and when healthy pitches at a Cy Young level. Now he's writing kids books. Some people have it all.
An exciting announcement for Ohtani, and especially Decoy.
