Massive misinterpretation of the subjects last name. Almost all media outlets in America misspell his last name. It's correctly spelled Shohei Ohtani, and not Otani as it is spelled in the media.

It's such an easy edit, just look at his baseball jersey he wears, it's spelled OHTANI. Henrylinsanity (talk) 04:18, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

People complaining about the English spelling of his name need to read the Romanization of Japanese article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.129.123.2 (talk) 06:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have read (citation very much needed) that Shohei Otani is very good at bat. If this is true, should it be mentioned in the article? Hayttom (talk) 17:16, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I want to change him to the angels you have him under the japan team still needs to be changed thanks Otaniangel11 (talk) 19:38, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It's still a little premature, although stories are breaking that he intends to sign with the Angels. —C.Fred (talk) 19:40, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

17 and put Angels roster on the bottom of the page 67.86.57.10 (talk) 21:15, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done – Muboshgu (talk) 21:26, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, not done. I forgot, he signed a minor league contract. He is not on the 40 man roster. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:27, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A Little Respect Please

Come on folks - this guy, this young man is a great ball player. Let's have a little respect for what he's already accomplished. And hopefully, he will come back from TJ surgery. What he's already done is fantastic. And I'm not even an LA fan. But I am a fan of baseball. Cheers and best wishes to Shohei. We look forward to your return. Come play for the Astros! :) 98.194.39.86 (talk) 07:11, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Home Alone

if he wanted to go straight to MLB and he actually had teams WILLING TO TAKE HIM, how was he convinced to spin his wheels on a japanese team for a couple years? i assume it wasn't the money -- they pay much *less* than MLB, right?

was it some sort of altruistic "i need to spend a few more years working on my craft" attitude? otherwise, i don't understand why he didn't head to MLB from the gitgo.

NB: to the person who deleted this query; this is a TALK page. don't go vandalizing posts w/o good reason!

it is a relevant issue b/c the article mentions his signing with the japanese team despite BETTER OFFERS which he himself indicated he PREFERRED. so either offer up some REASON for this mysterious turn of events, or we need to insert an adverb like "surprisingly".

article makes no sense at present b/c of this inconsistency. 66.30.47.138 (talk) 19:17, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
