Follow in the footsteps of Shohei Ohtani with NHK WORLD-JAPAN
Since making his major league debut in 2018, NHK has followed baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani. We look at Ohtani’s ability to pitch and hit at the highest level.
In the documentary, those who supported him on and off the field speak and explore the importance of his father’s training regime.
Follow NHK behind the scenes at key pivotal moments in Ohtani’s life. Like regaining his health after elbow surgery and reclaiming his place as a baseball virtuoso.
Digital Eye #01 – Ukraine, How Satellites Changed the War
