Shohei Ohtani answered one of the most sought-after questions during his Dodgers introductory press conference on Thursday: What is the name of his adorable puppy?
Ohtani’s dog went viral when the two-way superstar won his second AL MVP award last month. The Japanese player was on his couch at home with his dog sitting next to him. When Ohtani won the award, he high-fived the pup.
But no one outside of Ohtani’s camp knew what the dog’s name was until Thursday when Ohtani shared the American translation of his dog’s name is “Decoy.” His Japanese name is “Dekopin.”
