Ohtani wrote on Thursday on Instagram in Japanese: \u201cThe season is approaching but I would like to announce to everyone that I have gotten married.\u201dHe said his new wife was a \u201cJapanese woman\u201d without identifying her. He said he would reveal more in an interview on Friday; presumably at the Los Angeles Dodgers spring training venue. The 29-year-old Ohtani is Japan\u2019s biggest celebrity, and there has always been curiosity around his personal life, which he has always kept very private. His focus, and his image, has always been 100%-baseball focused \u2014 free of scandals or tabloid news. Ohtani moved from the Los Angeles Angels to the Dodgers in December on a record-breaking contract worth $700 million over 10 years.\u201cI began a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers, but I also have started a new life with someone from my native country of Japan who is very special to me,\u201d he wrote. He asked the media refrain from \u201cconducting unauthorized interviews.\u201dThe post on Instagram included a photo of his dog \u201cDekopin,\u201d which is also called \u201cDecoy.\u201dHe wrote: \u201cWe hope the two of us \u2014 and one animal \u2014 will work together.\u201dThe news broke in the middle of the night in North America, and late afternoon in Japan where it was immediately the top news item on local television. Local television reports daily on his training in the United States and, because of his unprecedented success in North America, he has become the pride of Japan, and the Dodgers have become Japan\u2019s de facto team. Ohtani is training in Arizona for the Major League Baseball season, preparing for the Dodgers to open in Seoul, South Korea, on March 20-21 in a two-game series against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani just underwent surgery on his right elbow and will not pitch this season. He will be used as a designated hitter, and the possibility exists he could play in the field. In his spring training debut this week, he hit a two-run home run against the Chicago White Sox.___AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<p>All data is taken from the source: http:\/\/apnews.com<br \/>\nArticle Link: https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/shohei-ohtani-married-japan-e5949dae4e5bc7b99607554cb78bbe3b<\/p>\n<p>#ShoheiOhtaniwife #newspaper #newstodaymsnbc #newsworldbbc #usnewsworldreport#newstodaylocal #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Baseball star Shohei Ohtani has stunningly revealed he\u2019s married.
