Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodger’s Shohei Ohtani, is accused of stealing $16 million from the baseball star to pay for illegal sports bets. That sum is nearly four times the amount initially reported. NBC’s Liz Kreutz reports for TODAY.
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani is baseball’s fastest 40-40 man. The Japanese superstar blasted a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning for his 40th homer after earlier stealing his 40th base, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Ohtani achieved the feat in his 126th game and the team’s 129th, the quickest in major league history and sixth ever to reach 40 homers and 40 stolen bases in a season. He’s also the first Dodgers player to do so.
“Obviously the record is part of the process but I think the most important thing is about winning the game.” He broke the previous mark by Alfonso Soriano in Game 148 for the Washington Nationals in 2006. “It’s just storybook — 40-40 on the same night,” manager Dave Roberts said. “I don’t know if that’s ever been done and then he wins it with a grand slam. He’s definitely known for the dramatics and this was something I’ll remember for a long time.” Ohtani’s 389-foot shot snapped a 3-3 tie.
