The Los Angeles Dodgers dealt with some controversy early in the season when they fired Ippei Mizuhara as Shohei Ohtani's interpreter after he was accused of stealing $4.5 million from the two-way superstar in order to pay off his gambling debt...
Ireton previously worked as a Dodgers interpreter for Kenta Maeda from 2016-2019 and remained with the team when the right-hander was traded to the Minnesota Twins...
Ireton was born in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to Hawaii as a teenager. He played college baseball at Occidental College in Los Angeles and was the valedictorian of his class at Menlo College in 2012...
Ireton is well-respected within the Dodgers organization and developed the nickname, 'Will The Thrill,' for his high energy dance moves in the dugout.
