[Minneapolis Kyodo]Dodgers player Shohei Otani of the US Major League Baseball gave an interview before the Twins game in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the 8th, regarding the current situation shaken by the illegal gambling issue of his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, saying, “I don’t particularly think about it when I play baseball.” “My job is to express myself 100% on the field, so no matter what happens off the field, that doesn’t change,” he said, emphasizing his attitude of concentrating on baseball.
He seems to have blended in perfectly with his new team and is grateful to those around him, saying, “Of course I feel great support from the team, the coaches, and the front office.” In February, he announced her marriage, and said, “There were times when I thought it was great that (my wife Mamiko) was here with me.”
