Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow were once competitors playing in the National League for the LA Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays, respectively. Now that both are on the same team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Glasnow reveals what it’s like to be Ohtani’s teammate. Despite Ohtani being engulfed with various headlines to start the season, the two-way star continues to earn praise in the locker room, both for his on- and off-field gestures. This makes him rank higher in Glasnow’s eyes, who considers him a “happy individual.”

“It’s cool,” Glasnow said. “He’s a very normal, happy-go-lucky individual. I think with all the expectations and all the crazy stuff surrounding him, he’s very humble.

And I think the way he handles all this stuff, it’s pretty amazing. And obviously, what he does on the field is impressive as well.”

Shohei Ohtani is in the midst of another MVP-worthy campaign, leading the National League with 31 home runs while hitting .315 (fourth in majors), 74 RBIs (fourth) and 1.039 OPS (third). If he wins the honor at the end of the season, it will be Ohtani’s first MVP campaign in the NL, having previously won two with the Angels in AL.

Both LA Dodgers superstars, Glasnow and Ohtani, are aiming high this season, hoping to lift the World Series for the first time in their careers.

Tyler Glasnow signed with the Dodgers in part due to Shohei Ohtani

After the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million contract, it paved the way for many other top-tier signings, including Tyler Glasnow.

The former Tampa Bay Rays pitcher signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including a $10 million signing bonus. After his signing, in an interview in December, Glasnow revealed the contribution of Ohtani’s signing, luring him to LA.

“It definitely added a lot of points for me to go to the Dodgers,” Glasnow said in an interview (via ESPN). “It was awesome. He just said he wants me to come on the team and hopes to hit some home runs for me and join me on the pitching staff the following year.””I just want to pick his brain and know what he’s learned,” Glasnow added. “He just seems like such a cool dude and probably one of the best baseball players to ever live. I want to be on a field with that guy.” Shohei Ohtani has been in the MLB since debuting for the Los Angeles Angels in 2018. Ever since, the MLB world has been mesmerized by what he can do at both sides of the plate and his two MVPs in the last three years are a testament to that.
