Shohei Ohtani of the Angels is making his presence felt in the WBC 2023.

Shohei Ohtani is 28 years old as of March 2023, so we can expect him to continue to grow.

 

I think it is thanks to his parents and other family members that he has been able to achieve such great results.

In particular, Shohei Otani’s father, Toru Otani, taught him a great deal from his childhood, and I believe that he has worked hard and faithfully followed his father’s teachings.

I would like to introduce Shohei Otani’s family structure, including his parents and siblings.

Shohei Otani’s father and Shohei Otani look exactly alike.

Shohei Otani’s father, Toru Otani, was busy with work when his first son, Ryuta Otani, was born and was unable to be involved in his son’s baseball activities, so he decided to teach his second son, Shohei Otani, diligently.

He coached Shohei Otani’s baseball for seven years, from when Shohei Otani was in the second grade of elementary school to the third grade of junior high school.

Here is Toru Otani’s coaching and managerial history.

Shohei Otani’s mother, Kayoko Otani, went to Yokohama Tatsuno High School, but the practice was tough and difficult.

She entered Tatsuno High School by crossing the border.
It took her about an hour to get there by train and bus from her home in Asahi-ku, Yokohama, but she took the first train every morning at 5:00 a.m. and practiced in the morning for an hour before class.
After school, he practiced until 7 or 8 pm, returning home around 9 pm.
There were no weekends or holidays off.

Practice was tough.

Even so, even though we won once or twice at the Inter-Highs, it was hard to move up,” Kayoko recalls.
Quote: Nikkan Gendai

It was really tough practice, but thanks to that I was able to participate in the Inter-Highs.
