Do you think a Japanese baseball player who can surpass Shohei Ohtani will emerge?

Question

Shohei Ohtani just signed with the Dodgers for over 100 billion yen, right? Do you think a Japanese baseball player who can top that will ever emerge in the future?

Toki · Answer

Money-wise, as MLB’s overall market rises, I think Japanese players will eventually sign contracts that bea t Ohtani.💰✨ But in the sense of “surpassing Shohei Ohtani” by becoming a two-way MVP and a worldwide icon... honestly, I think that level of presence won’t come around for a while.🥹🔥

There will be people who surpass the money, but Ohtani as a presence remains uniquely unparalleled for a while.
