Japan will soon take the field in the World Baseball Classic to pursue another triumph in the event after winning it all in 2023. They will open up in Tokyo as they host Pool C. Shohei Ohtani, as he is everywhere he finds a diamond, will be the center of attention as he endeavors to write even more history into his legacy.
The most famous baseball player on the planet treated fans in his home country with a rare bit of on-field batting practice on Friday and there weren't many empty seats to be found. Ohtani, who usually takes his warmup cuts in a batting cage out of public view, provided just what everyone wanted to see by blasting tape-measure shot after tape-measure shot.
