Having played only five seasons in MLB, two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani has already become a face of modern baseball. Coming off a terrific year, Ohtani has already sprung into action to make 2023 the best. Which would probably be his last year in the LA Angels franchise. Shotime’s free agency has countless baseball fans in anticipation of what will happen after the 2023 season. 

However, besides playing baseball and endorsing some major brands, WBC Champion Shohei Ohtani has already dipped his hands into multiple ventures. And one of those ventures that Shohei invested in last year has investors who are prominent in the sports industry. They included legendary former tennis player Serena Williams, NBA star Stephen Curry, F1 star Lewis Hamilton, and a couple of others.

After winning the World Baseball Classic for his home country, Japan, Shotime is looking forward to winning one World Series ring with his team, LA Angels. Although the Fall Classic might still be a few months away, Shohei has a lot to keep himself busy. Aside from fulfilling his ballpark duties, the athlete has multiple endorsement deals lined up. They would then make up this year’s earnings of Shohei to be somewhat around $65 million.
