The Los Angeles Dodgers not only draw fans with their talented roster but also through the players' pets, particularly Shohei Ohtani's dog, Decoy. The Dutch Kooikerhondje gained fame when he 'threw out' the first pitch during the Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night. Decoy is often seen alongside fellow player Yoshinobu Yamamoto's dog, showcasing their friendship during Spring Training, even humorously dressed in Dodgers gear. This adorable connection highlights the emotional ties athletes have with their pets, boosting fan engagement and interest beyond the game.
Decoy's popularity increased last season when he 'threw out' the ceremonial first pitch for Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.
Decoy, whose breed is a Dutch Kooikerhondje, embodies traits like liveliness and good nature, making him a beloved companion for Ohtani.
Yoshinobu's dog ironically was dressed in an Ohtani Dodgers jersey while running around the player's area at Camelback Ranch, showing the playful camaraderie.
Shohei's dog has gained as much fame as his owner, highlighting the unique connection between star athletes and their beloved pets.
