MLB player Shohei Ohtani reacted to a chant aimed at him during the All-Star game.
The 29-year-old played in the prestigious game for the third time at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, the home of the Seattle Mariners. As he stepped up to the plate, fans pleaded with him to play for their team as chants of “come to Seattle” echoed around the stadium.
The chant was repeated nearly a dozen times during Ohtani’s at-bat before striking out on six pitches against Zac Gallen during Team AL’s 3-2 defeat to Team NL. After the game, via his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, the Japanese star responded to the claims and said: "I’ve never experienced anything like that, but I definitely heard it.
