Dodgers Star Reveals Initial Impressions About Shohei Ohtani

Ohtani is serious about the grind.

Over the offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant move by acquiring two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, adding even more star power to an already stacked roster. 

Ohtani's arrival is expected to elevate the team to new heights and potentially lead them to multiple World Series titles, which was a key factor in his decision to join the Dodgers.

Despite the team's existing superstar talent, Ohtani stands out as the biggest star of them all. However, amidst the excitement of his arrival, it's important not to overlook superstar infielder Mookie Betts. 

While Betts and Ohtani are now teammates, Betts revealed that they haven't interacted much. In a recent interview with SportsNet LA's John Hartung, Betts shared his initial impressions of Ohtani.

“He's super chill. He goes about his business, takes care of his business.”

According to Betts, Ohtani is all business. 

His dedication to training and staying in top shape is evident, as he has been putting in countless hours at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani's relentless work ethic is not just for show; it's a testament to his greatness and inspires his teammates.

Although Betts and Ohtani have yet to develop a close relationship, they will have plenty of opportunities to do so throughout the season. As they don the Dodger Blue together, they'll have the chance to build chemistry on and off the field. 

Fans eagerly anticipate seeing this dynamic duo in action, driving each other to success and bringing home victories for the Boys in Blue.

When the season kicks off, Betts and Ohtani are poised to become one of the league's most formidable duos. With their talent, work ethic, and commitment to excellence, they have the potential to dominate the competition and lead the Dodgers to championship glory multiple times.
