Baseball fans crowd airport in South Korea to greet Shohei Ohtani and his wife ahead of MLB season-opening series between Dodgers and Padres.
Shohei Ohtani and his wife arrived in South Korea with his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates on Friday ahead of their season-opening games with the San Diego Padres next week. Ohtani, wearing a black training suit and a cap backward, was the first Dodgers player who showed up at the arrival gate of Incheon international airport, west of Seoul. His wife, Mamiko Tanaka, walked several steps behind him.
The Dodgers posted a photo of the Ohtani-Tanaka couple on the team's X account next to one of Mookie Betts and his wife. The upcoming Dodgers-Padres games will be Ohtani's debut with the Dodgers. In December, Ohtani, who was formerly with the Los Angeles Angels, signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract to join the Dodgers. Ohtani underwent surgery on his right elbow last September and will not pitch this season.
