[image description: three gifs of shohei ohtani, shot on super 8 film. the first gif is of him walking out from the bullpen, accompanied by catcher max stassi. fans are leaning out from the railings beside him as he goes on the field, holding up signs with his name. the second gif is of him pitching, wearing the angels away team uniform. the final gif is of him posing on the camera during the all star week. he's standing behind a small arrangement of letters that say, 'all star' in caps, and in front of a dizzying arrangement of spotlights. a camera crew comes into view, bringing it into his face. end description.]
@RioKatoPhoto: “Oh, that’s a nice sky…” While I kept on aiming my camera, while I kept on shaking, on this day too I crouched for 2 hours in the dugout before I finally heard it, the voice of Shohei Ohtani. Even now his voice still lingers. Like Shohei Ohtani looking up at the sky at the Angel Stadium, start your day off feeling refreshed.
“He deserves for me to be there for him, every single time. Let me tell you why. Because Shohei is a very humble person. He’s a hard worker. He cheers for his teammates. He’s an unbelievable player that cares about others. I respect that a lot. And Shohei and I, our chemistry - we go dinners together, I cook at home for him. We’re very close... He wants everybody to do so well that the least I can do for him is be there to support him."
