When sports and language intersect, not everything is clear-cut. Shohei Ohtani, who communicates solely through interpretation, has seamlessly connected with baseball fans. Despite the language gap, his skills resonate with his admirers. Smith said, “But when you talk about an audience gravitating to the tube or the ballpark to watch you, I don’t think it helps that the No. 1 face is a dude that needs an interpreter so you can understand what the hell he’s saying, in this country.”

The Jordan Factor: Does Judge's Signing Dispute Ohtani's MLB Dominance?

Shohei Ohtani's rivalry with Aaron Judge has captivated baseball. Despite Judge's 2022 victory, Ohtani's current performance edges him toward the top spot. With a potential sweep of awards, does Michael Jordan's endorsement of Judge imply a challenge to Ohtani's MLB supremacy?

Stephen A. Smith's critique of Ohtani's language barrier sparked discontent among fans, who viewed it as bias against non-native speakers. The American sportscaster later apologized for his controversial remarks, but as Ohtani excels on the field, the impact lingers.
