There’s Japanese tv coverage following Ippei (Ohtani “personal interpreter”) daily schedule. His workload actually more than just interpreting for Ohtani. He is in charge as main contact person for Japanaese media and also scheduling media coverage for Ohtani by Japanese media, monitoring Ohtani physical and fitness data from training and games, he is also in charge of managing sponsorships from Japanese brands to Ohtani, and many more daily task outside of interpreting and translating. Because of the time difference between Japan and US, these daily workload becomes more demanding since most of the contacts, phone calls, and sponsorship documents or legal contracts from Japan coming late at night almost every day. Definitely deserved that income.
@@johnlyly7142 Ohtani is one of the most endorsed athletes in the world owing to being a star in 2 very large markets (USA and Japan). He makes probably 25-30 million in endorsements a year. His contract is only about 5mill a year because he kinda took a paycut to go the Angels, but when he comes up for extension this offseason or next offseason he will probably make around 45million a year from that. So a considerable amount.
seeing ohtani two years later being as successful as he is is so wholesome. he seems like such a down to earth guy, really just seems like a big goofy kid in this video and so polite and nice. i wish nothing but successful for this man
Seeing him even more successful 2 years later than you is even crazier. Shame what his interpreter got tangled in though. If it's even Ippei's problem to begin with and he's not just a scapegoat
@@willieraus2919 lol I dont think they were trying to set him up with her more they wanted to tease him for being single by both Trout and Calhoun are married but idk that's my take on it
3:08 one of the reasons why I love Shohei and Japanese culture. First thing he does is pass the food to translator not have it himself. What a fricking legend! He is gonna MLB famous again
@@beepbeep670 Japanese etiquette. Ohtani is Japanese. Don't lump all asians together. Chinese & Koreans are not well known for being polite or civil, are they? Is there such a thing as European etiquette? What an idiot 🤣
Ohtani speaks and understands English perfectly... he just pretends he needs help so his boy keeps making that 7 figure 😏income. He is also very good at dance dance revolution.
Lol. A lot of international players use translators because English doesn’t translate exactly to other languages so the context can be misunderstood easily. (Esp with word choices)
@saigonbond apparently outside of USA means they don't know how to use google conversions. Not that I am American. 🙄 At least I dont use that excuse lol.
I love when they go for the pit beef and shohei smiles and hands a quarter of the sandwich to the man farthest down the line. You can tell he is a truly generous and genuine guy. I really appreciate seeing that in people I think are some of the greats not only on the field but off as well. ❤️ lots of love to the angels organization, they’re a good one
I’m a lifelong A’s, but I’ve loved Trout and Ohtani since they slashed their way into the SHOW. Both guys soooo humble and respectful…..AND talented. I hope Shohei can stay healthy to continue to pitch and hit for the rest of his career!
2:32 Carolyn: Are you eating down there Ippei? Ohtani : 食べてない (Ippei has not eaten) Ippei: (I'm not translating that) ** No body else noticed what Ohtani said Ohtani and Ippei: LOL (2:42) Ohtani perfectly understanding what they were talking about lol
To be fair, Japanese LOVE food, they're the foodies of the world so most likely he's loving it. I mean, Mexican food was the craze for a couple of years in Japan and still remains popular.
Shohei Said Omurice (Not Omlette)... It's completely different, but I guess the translator didn't want to explain. It's an omlette on top of fried seasoned rice with ketchup on top. Sooo good!
Edward Sarrain I would expect that in dodger stadium given that they have more Hispanic fans and they are more in the LA area than say OC in angels stadium
I would love to see Shohei take Trout over to some Tokyo sushi bar and turn the tables on the awkward language barrier. Gee, watch who suddenly becomes the shy guy.
@@user-vs3uu7mk5f I think he means that Japanese people are viewed as acting more polite and respectful during interviews and public events, where as Americans don't usually hold themselves back and sometimes can be brass or loud. Just a cultural difference, but Ohtani is a great guy and I'm glad he is having so much success!
As an Indians fan, I LOVE watching everything about Ohtani. I wish he spoke more English, it would make him so much more loved by the masses. I know its not easy, I cant even imagine trying to learn Japanese! Dang!! Thats what i love about baseball though. You can be quiet heroes and legends! As a side note, that food looks amazing. As the saying goes never trust a skinny chef!
I haven't even been a baseball fan in years. I live in Houston. Die hard Killer B's fan. Didn't even watch the WS the Stros won. Shotime makes me love watching Angels highlights. I am a HUGE fan of what this young man is doing.
Shohei nods
His translator: “It’s good”
He says very softly "Oishii" while munching. It means "It's good/tasty".
LMAO

How? Even if he's single Ohtani definitely has the money for a personal chef.
@@stephen2773 He's a humble dude. :)
Shohei is smart man - he use the translator as his personal food taster lol
SHOW tani is his nickname
Smart... If its poisoned he died first.
that's a respect towards Ippei,
not as a taster lol🤣
He cares about other people, rather than himself.
Ippei is also his driver and catcher.
Ippei is a married man too, he is definitely working more 40 hours a week. May be his wife travels with him.
Shohei needs the flavours to be translated.
I like how Ohtani just laughs at Shotani, doesn't take it personally just bursts out in giggles. Love the guy.

Thats basic social etiquette
Only Americans don’t do that lol
This common etiquette but unfortunately my fellow Americans don't have this instilled in them.
some weeb energy
The guy who translates for Shohei is a lucky guy. The coolest job ever.
calm down, brett
@@tylerhipp5604 With his resume, he'll get another job translating for the next Japanese player to get picked up by an MLB team.
brett that caught me off guard 😂
Fax he gets some of ohtanis check just to hang out with some major leaguers all day
What happened to Brett?
Shotani is a 3-way player from now on, pitching, hitting and cooking
And water bottle squirting
Hes a triple threat
@@tryactin_user9312 lol I just came from that breakdown video
Also plays outfield
haahhahaaaaha idk why but that made me laugh
If Shohei is 6'4", Trout 6'2", and Calhoun 5'10" then Shohei's interpreter is surprisingly tall
I think he used to play baseball too??
@@CherryBlossoms1982 I think a lot of translators are good enough to play catch and stuff with their players
@@greysonG10 cool
He is tall, I got a picture with ohtani and the Ippei was there, I am 5'10 he was taller than me but not as tall as Ohtani so I guess around 6'.

Need more stuff like this. MLB doesn’t do a very good job promoting their players and putting them in the spotlight unless it’s Bryce Harper
I promise you my boys and I were just talking about this. How the hell isn't Mike Trout "famous"??
Shocka_Crew i guess maybe he doesn’t want to be? He does strike me as more of a low key guy
@@hachitachi Literally one of the best to ever play. Only baseball fans know who he is. Bonkers.

Ohtani is adorable 😍
Trout called him shohtani lmao
considering how japanese people love creating nicknames for just about anything, i actually like the name shohtani
I think he said showtani
Shotani? Love to see art of that.
He calls him SHOW-tani.. nickname
He’s been show-tani since he came in the league lol
this is debatably one of the most misleading video titles I have ever witnessed...

Good old days with Mike Trout.
I love how Shohei Ohtani is just enjoying the atmosphere being with all the people
Ohtani is both a class act and a stud! Soo much respect for him!
Ohtani is the man. Crazy power and awesome pitcher. Incredible talent
Who knew two years later he’s even better LOL
you can tell Trout realizes that he genuinely wants to have people showcase and embrace Ohtani as a star. He calls him out like 3 times in 5 min.
I think mike genuinely likes him. And why not he’s very humble
I didnt realised Ohtani's height, the kid its a monster
Pitchers tend to be pretty tall.
saigonbond 210 really? The heat he throws i would’ve thought he was 230lbs at least. He still got time to fill out
