Ohtani believed in himself when many tried to pull him down
When Shohei started displaying his skills as a two-way player, many questioned his choice. Notably, before the Japanese star, baseball legend, Babe Ruth was the only two-way star in history. However, Ohtani continued working on his goals, and despite facing hurdles like injuries, and criticisms, he never lost hope.
