The ongoing MLB off-season can be a source of entertainment for baseball fans without having an actual game to look at. The Angels’ two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani has been creating a buzz in this off-season and does not seem to stop anytime soon. Soon as the 2022 postseason ended, speculations about Shotime’s free agency after the upcoming season started getting around. While the man himself has not spoken one word about it yet, MLB pundits are making predictions of him getting approximately $500 million worth of contract.

Whereas the player himself has now shocked his fans by giving a peek into his life during the off-season. Some people like to have a presence online while not being regularly active. And Ohtani, without a doubt, is one of those. Therefore, whenever he posts, it creates a buzz among his fans, which is what happened when the pitcher posted for the third time this year.
