Shohei Ohtani Delivers a Fluent English Speech at Major League MVP Awards Ceremony

At a dinner sponsored by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, pitcher Shohei Ohtani gave a fluent speech in English. This was a special occasion held at a hotel in New York City to applaud the outstanding performance he showed last season.

Ohtani accomplished the great feat of becoming the two-time American League MVP last season. He attended this event, where he was the star, as a member of the Dodgers. His speech lasted about two minutes, during which he didn’t use any Japanese, delivering a splendid speech entirely in English.

A teacher from the United States who listened to this speech was surprised at Ohtani’s English proficiency. The way he speaks English fluently can be a great inspiration to children, and probably many children will emulate him and strive to learn English in the future.

Ohtani, who attended the Baseball Writers’ Association’s dinner for the first time in five years, expressed his gratitude by saying, Thank you to everyone who voted for me. He mentioned past great players with respect and shared his joy of being recognized as an excellent player with everyone.

Pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who surprised many by delivering a fluent English speech at this dinner, is a player whose future achievements cannot be missed.
