Dodgers' Dave Roberts on Shohei Ohtani: He 'Just Seems Like a Superhero'
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers, led by superstar Shohei Ohtani, are seen as a dominant force in MLB. Ohtani's remarkable achievements, including winning the National League MVP and hitting 50 home runs while stealing 50 bases in a season, underscore his impact. His presence was felt during the MLB Tokyo Series, which featured the Dodgers playing against Japanese teams, showcasing his celebrity status in Japan. Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts aptly describes Ohtani as a superhero, emphasizing his consistent delivery in crucial moments, which solidifies his importance to both the team and fans.
"You know, I know Shohei puts his pants on just like we all do, one leg at a time. But if there's ever a superhero, I think Shohei just seems like a superhero. In the biggest of games or the biggest of moments, he seems to always deliver."
"Last season, the first of a 10-year contract with the Dodgers, Ohtani did more than just deliver. In addition to winning the National League MVP award, Ohtani became the first player in MLB history to hit 50 or more home runs and steal 50 or more bases in the same season."
