Shohei Ohtani’s astonishing physique change following his Major League Baseball bulking up and signing a massive contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani to a record-breаking contract thanks to his remarkable physical transformation.
Superstar 28-year-old Japanese two-way player signs record-breаking $700 million, 10-year contract.
With the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani made his major league debut in 2018. He had already established himself as a top pitcher and hitter in Japan.
Similarly, in Major League Baseball, he would impart his two-way skills.
After a breakout season in which he Һit 22 HR, drove in 61 RBIs, and tossed 51 innings with a 3.31 ERA, Ohtani was named the league’s Rookie of the Year.
But he couldn’t throw until 2020 because he had Tommy John surgery on his throwing arm in the middle of the season.
Ohtani worked out hard to build muscle and improve his tone before the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
Fans were in awe of Ohtani’s appearance in photographs from 2020 Spring Training.
The 210-pound, 6-foot-4 athlete flaunted his enormous shoulders and arms.
Ohtani came clean about his wild eating habits in 2021.
The superstar would eat seven times a day and explain his eating habits by saying, “There are no precedents of people like me in the majors.”
In 2021, Ohtani’s nutritionist mentioned that while Ohtani’s height is a benefit, he was initially somewhat underweight. With the correct training and diet, you can compete with the best international players.
The American League MVP would go to Ohtani in 2021 and 2023.
Before his free agent year, he Һit.304/.412/.654 in 135 games as a designated Һitter in the latter season. He also Һit 44 home homers.
And in 132 innings of work, Ohtani maintained an ERA of just 3.14.
Last month, Ohtani signed a staggering 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, making him the buzz of the 2023 free agent cycle.
The Japanese icon will have $97% of his income deferred without interest until after his contract ends, which is the most guaranteed amount ever received by an athlete.
Having had Tommy John-style surgery to repair a damaged UCL, the 29-year-old Ohtani will not be able to pitch in 2024.
In the year 2025, he will be back to his two-way playing ways.
