The Shohei Ohtani wave has taken over the world. As the two-way phenom is highly anticipated to sign a historic $500 million contract, fans are willing to delve deep into the Japanese sensation’s life. The potential 2023 MVP has been a hot topic since the day he stepped foot in MLB. But now the discussions surrounding him are at an all-time high. “The House of the Mouse” might have actually pulled the massive rabbit out of its proverbial hat.

When Disney announced a special documentary of Shohei Ohtani in Japan, fans all over the world went bonkers. Their excitement is uncontrollable. This begs one question: Is there something special pictured in this documentary that we already don’t know?

Shohei Ohtani – Beyond the Dream

When Shohei Ohtani first started playing in Japan, people who saw him knew he was special. He was a great leader, but above all, as a player, he didn’t seem to have a ceiling. So when MLB came calling, it didn’t surprise many. The Japanese sensation joined the LA Angels and completely turned the league upside-down during his rookie year. That year, he donned the Rookie of the Year cap.

Yet the following two years were tough due to injuries and lack of playing time. But he didn’t give up and came back stronger than ever in 2021. His dominance that year made him the American League’s MVP. He was putting up numbers that were comparable to the great Babe Ruth. Amidst all of these achievements, what was going through the mind of “Shotime”?
