No matter the stage or the stakes. Shohei Ohtani will deliver either way. With the Los Angeles Dodgers gearing up for the season in Tokyo, the pressure is at an all-time high. For Ohtani, though, it’s just another opportunity to shine. While the Dodgers are all set for their highly anticipated Tokyo Series, former Miami Marlins president David Samson has a strong take on Ohtani.
During his podcast Nothing Personal with David Samson, he emphasized Ohtani’s two-way ability to stay unshaken. He stated, “The Dodgers are countering Shohei Ohtani, who doesn’t feel the pressure that you may think he feels.” While all the eyes are already on him, this claim was considerably bold.
Samson’s statements carry an air of certainty about Ohtani’s at-bat performance. He predicted saying, “He’s going to get a base knock; he may even go deep.” This suggests that Ohtani’s offensive prowess would be a complete showcase. Ohtani has a proven record of delivering when it matters the most, especially on the biggest stages. It’s easy to believe that Samson might actually be into something.

Interestingly, Shohei Ohtani isn’t the only Dodger’s ace making waves. Samson also highlighted Yoshinobu Yamamoto during the podcast, saying, “The fact of the matter is Yamamoto as a starting pitcher is ready to give you five innings right now. The Dodgers bullpen is ready to go.” The sheer confidence in Yamamoto and the bullpen underscores the Dodgers’ depth as they gear up for the season.
