This morning, the Los Angeles Dodgers got together for their preseason photo shoot, giving us a peek into the camaraderie among the players. A heartwarming 20-second video stole the spotlight, featuring a touching message from Japan’s Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
In the clip, Teoscar Hernández takes out his phone and starts recording using the front camera. Out of the blue, Shohei Ohtani, the MVP of the 2023 season, joins in, creating a delightful scene of spanish lessons between the Dominican player and the two Japanese teammates.
In just a brief moment, Teoscar guides Ohtani to greet the camera with a warm “Good morning, fans.” Impressively, on his second attempt, he introduces Yamamoto, getting him to share a cheerful “Good morning” too.
The excitement is building up, and we’re all looking forward to seeing these two Japanese stars continue their Spanish lessons with the Dodgers.

The Dodgers will take on the San Diego Padres in their inaugural preseason game this Thursday. While Ohtani won’t be in the lineup, manager Dave Roberts has commended the Japanese standout’s outstanding dedication and preparation.
