Shohei Ohtani Delivers AL MVP Acceptance Speech in English

Shohei Ohtani, the two-time American League MVP, delivered his 2023 acceptance speech in English, marking a significant milestone in his MLB career.
Ohtani thanked both the Los Angeles Angels, his former team, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, his new team, during his speech.
Ohtani's interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who has become a fan-favorite and close friend of Ohtani, also joined the Dodgers after six years with the Angels.
Ohtani's dog, Dekopin, was present during the award ceremony and became a topic of discussion among fans.
The Dodgers, after signing Ohtani to a historic 10-year, $700 million contract, are expected to make a World Series push in 2024.
