The Superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani, could be a global baseball icon, but not in the eyes of a player from the Little League World Series.
Monica Arcuri in Australia revealed an interaction with Ohtani who led him to believe that he is “not really humble”.
Arcuri was presented on the “Sunday Night Baseball” of ESPN KidSCAST during the New York Mets-Seattle Marine match on Sunday in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the host city of the Little League World Series. During her interview, the native of Brisbane described having attended a Los Angeles Angels match in Anaheim in 2023.

During this match, Ohtani – So still a member of the Angels – dominated the start of Toronto Blue Jays Yusei Kikuchi.
“He hit a circuit in an area where the fans could not go, then this guy obtained the ball and gave it to my brother,” said Arcuri during the broadcast. “So the next day, we went to the VIP box in front, and I asked [Ohtani’s] Signature, but everything he gave me was a lateral eye and not a nice look.

“So, after that, I have never loved him since. He’s not really humble. Not my style.”
This season was the latest Ohtani uniform in an angels uniform before the Dodgers rushed with a $ 700 million $ 700 million contract, although $ 680 million was postponed.
The first season of Ohtani with the Dodgers ended with an NL MVP prize and a World Series ring after defeating the New York Yankees in five games in the “Fall Classic”.

However, Ohtani has faced off -scope controversies since last season.
First of all, his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was imprisoned for having stolen nearly $ 17 million on the Japanese star to reimburse the game debts.
Ohtani publicly discussed the scandal at the end of March before the start of its inaugural season of Dodgers, saying that he had never placed a sports betting and that Mizuhara’s story on the reimbursement of his 4.5 million dollars game debt was manufactured.
More recently, Ohtani and his agent, Nose Balelo, made the headlines after being prosecuted by a real estate investor in Hawaii and a broker for having allegedly caused their dismissal of luxury housing of 240 million dollars.

Meanwhile, it seems that Acuri appreciated his stay in Williamsport despite the fact that Australia was eliminated from international support after a 12-0 defeat against Canada on Sunday. Australia opened its doors with a 7-2 defeat against Panama before rebounding with a 5-3 victory against Europe Africa on Saturday to avoid early elimination.
Arucir became the 24th girl to play in the Little League Baseball World Series, and the 11th to record success.
