Shohei Ohtani‘s name transcends divisions within the MLB world, uniting teams and fans alike. Known for his unique skills, the Japanese phenom has become a dynamic force on both the mound and the plate. As a result, he has garnered appreciation from talented baseball players, managers, and legends as well. After the positive comments from Dusty Baker, and his teammate Mike Trout, the two-way phenom has found another admirer in Brent Rooker. However, this time, the admiration was accompanied by a heartfelt wish.

Although the Oakland Athletics’ 2023 All-Star player, Rooker, homered Ohtani earlier this season, he is a big fan and admirer of the Ohtani. Reflecting on the same, he shared a universal wish with the MLB world during his appearance in public. 

Brent Rooker wants a Shohei Ohtani signature picture

Being a fan, everyone wants to have memorabilia of their favorite players. The same goes for Rooker, who admires Ohtani and wants something related to him. He shared this wish during his appearance on the show. The Talkin’ Baseball shared a clip of the episode with the caption, ” A’s All-Star rep Brent Rooker homered off Shohei Ohtani earlier this season, and he plans to “very humbly” ask Shohei to sign it in Seattle.”

The response came after they questioned Rooker, “What players you’re looking forward to meet personally?” To which he replied,” Shohei, I think, number one.” Subsequently, he elaborated on his reasoning behind labeling Ohtani as a top choice.

Adding more to the conversation, Rooker shared, “So there’s a really cool picture of me hitting a home run Shohei in Anaheim. And I’m going to approach him very humbly and try to get him to sign it because I think that is something that I would love to have forever.”  

Rooker’s remarks come in the wake of his inclusion in the All-Star team, where he will be playing alongside Ohtani as part of the American League squad. Moreover, his call-up has come after a good season with the Athletics.

A season to remember for Rooker

Even though the A’s have not played well this season, Rooker has played his part well for the team. The left fielder is averaging 0.243 after scoring 30 runs with 41 RBIs at an OPS of 0.816. He has also hit 14 home runs, including one on the pitch of Ohtani. Rooker has also affected the A’s in wins with a WAR of 1.2. Now the 28-year-old will look to the same in his first all-star game while fulfilling his wish for a picture of him signed by Ohtani.
