The recent acclaim given to Shohei Ohtani is insulting. The 29-year-old is widely considered to be the most prominent free agent in a generation, and his future plans have inspired unprecedented levels of conjecture.

Ohtani is a heavy favorite to win the 2023 MVP Award when the winners are announced next week. Ohtani led the American League in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and home runs despite missing the final month of the season. Ohtani also had a 10-5 record and a 3.14 ERA over 23 starts.

Shohei Ohtani is projected to get offers worth more than $500 million, despite the fact that ailments to his throwing arm will prevent him from using it until 2025. In keeping with the nonstop Ohtani hype, here are the 10 things the Los Angeles Angels player couldn’t live without, as he described in an interview with GQ Magazine in 2022.

The use of iPads in Major League dugouts for anything from watching plays to analyzing pitches has skyrocketed in recent years. Shohei Ohtani uses his iPad for keeping track of his schedule and for keeping in touch with friends and family.

Pillow No. 9

Because of their location, the Los Angeles Angels have a lot of road games to play. Ohtani relies heavily on his custom-made pillow to keep him comfortable throughout the season’s many flights and vehicle rides.

Phone, No. 8

The same as anybody else.

7. Prefabricated icepack

Shohei Ohtani insists that he always has his personal ice maker with him, which may be the most unusual thing on the list. Designed to turn any source of water into usable ice, all you need is a power outlet to get started.

6. Bat and Glove

Ohtani will be sought after for his hitting, despite the fact that he is an outstanding pitcher. Ohtani made history by becoming the first pitcher in MLB history with at least 100 strikeouts and 100 RBIs while swinging his signature GoldStage Japanese Maple Bat.

When Shohei Ohtani is batting or fielding, he uses the same pair of shoes. He acknowledges the lateral ability of his footwear as a primary cause for his on-field agility.

Ohtani, being an elite athlete, must take care to maintain his peak performance. Since the MLB allowed the use of on-body monitors in 2016, he has joined the expanding number of professional athletes who are doing so.

Pants that compress the legs

Many peоple believe that the health benefits оf wearing cоmpressiоn trоusers stem frоm the fact that they are able tо redirect blооd flоw tо specific areas оf the bоdy. Maybe оhtani has a spare pair he cоuld give tо cоlleague Mike Trоut.

The #1 Weighted Sleep Mask

The weighted sleep mask, like the pillow, helps Ohtani get the most out of his rest. Ohtani could get the rest he needs after a cross-country flight to play the Boston Red Sox on the not-so-red eye return to Los Angeles.
