Two-Way Star Shohei Ohtani Seemingly Believes His 1st Son Will Carry on His Baseball Legacy

Oshu, Iwate is a place full of rich cultural heritage, steeped in fascinating folk tales that date back centuries. And a new such tale is currently in the making. It's the birthplace of baseball legend Shohei Ohtani, who has taken Japan to the game's highest peak through the World Baseball Classic.

Shohei’s deep love for the game

Shohei Ohtani’s love for baseball began when he was a little kid himself. And the lofty goals list he made seems to be a magical one since at age 27 he wanted to win the WBC and become an MVP, which he did in the most phenomenal way.

Right below that entry is another interesting entry that says, “1st son is born.” And fast forward to 9 years later, at age 37, having already broken the “Strike out record” at age 36, his heart is set on passing down his love for baseball to his son.

Beginning of Shohei’s journey

Ohtani’s father, Toru, a lifelong baseball player himself, would come home after long days of work and spend hours playing catch with his two boys, Shohei, and his older brother, Ryuta. It was during these moments that his love for the game first took root. And that was when Sho began playing a weekend little league at the age of eight.
