Shohei Ohtani talks about his first season in 2024
This is not my first time rehabbing while getting ready for the season, I did it in 2019, so I kind of know how to do it. I feel like it will be easier the second time around.

前回よりも、ま、スムーズにいくんじゃないかなとは思ってます。

Shohei often says, “Unn, ma.” In English, “Ah, well…”
[2024]Shohei Ohtani and his batting
I feel like I’m not one level, but several levels ahead offensive wise. It’s going to depend on what kind of line up I’m in. At the end my focus is going to be the same, keep the focus on hitting and trying to get better.

まぁなんていうのかな、
ma nanteiukana
“まぁなんていうのかな=ma nanteiukana” equals to the phrases like “What can I say?” or “How can I express?” or simply, “Let’s see.”

Shohei Ohtani acts like a rookie
I’m on a brand new team so I am going to act like I am a rookie, so I’m going to get to know the guys and my team mates.

JAPANESE
ま、新しいチームなので（真新しいチーム？）
ma, atarashii team nanode
To be honest, I am not really sure what Shohei really meant by saying “ma atarashii team nanode.” I wonder which he really meant??? “I’m on a brand new team” or “well, I am on a new team.” When Ma and atarashi are used altogether, the phrase means brand new. At the same time, “Ma” means “well.” That’s why. You know what I mean?

Are you interested in Japanese? If so, it might be a good idea to learn Japanese from Shohei Ohtani, the one and only baseball player on earth. I hope you enjoy learning Japanese. Fingers crossed! What will Shohei do next to shake the world, I wonder.
