Their children will be super athletes.

That child is going to have super genes. Way to go Ohtani-san! She's adorable!

Not necessarily. Pretty much everyone said there was a 100% chance Andre Agassi and Steffi Grafs two children would dominate world tennis for many years. In reality, one played a little baseball in school. The other plays tennis as a hobby.

There are a million other important factors, not just genetics.

Anyway, all the best to "GOATANI" - as the Korean fans are calling him - on his games in SK. He sure has become a worldwide sports phenomenon!

Best of luck for the Dodgers.

Boy that police officer or guard with these sunglasses should be an actor, stole the shot.

Better than a gold digger

After all the speculation and conjecture, Ohtani may be a 9 but his significant other is something of a 6.

A subjective opinion.

So you find Mr. Ohtani hotter than his wife. Good for you.

If I were him, I would have walked beside her instead of her following two steps behind...

Look at where the bodyguards/security guys are. They probably wanted them to walk that way.

I think he hit a grand slam so to speak.

yes, because people marry for looks only, right?

in my opinion, a professional athlete has a better chance of support, mutual understanding, and mutual values with another (former) athlete, as compared with a glamorous model/announcer/talento/influencer or such, who mostly operates on looks.

If we go by looks, then the hype was clearly overhyped.

"...Ohtani, a two-way Japanese phenomenon,"

What two-way phenomenon?

Something lost in this, which the reporter points out but didn't overly focus on (but I certainly noticed), people in South Korea are big fans of Ohtani. Wish the media would focus more on things like that!
