Shohei Ohtani leaves MLB fans amazed with unusual eating habits in World Series Game 2

Shohei Ohtani amused MLB fans with his eating habits as the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the World Series on Saturday.

The Dodgers superstar sustained an injury during the game and enjoyed a snack in the dugout while watching his team beat the Yankees, 4-2.

During the broadcast, Ohtani was shown spitting into a cup instead of the ground while hanging out by the Dodgers’ bench, leaving social media users in shock at his etiquette.

‘Ohtani is so neat he doesn’t even spill his seeds on the ground,’ an X user captioned the clip from the broadcast.

‘It’s called respect. What a lot of people in this country don’t have,’ another wrote.

Shohei Ohtani’s eating habits left MLB fans stunned in Game 2 of the 2024 World Series 

‘He’s Japanese! Japan is a very clean place,’ a third chimed in. ‘There is literally no trash cans in the streets and most people carry their trash until they get to throw it away safely. I had to walk around with an empty coffee cup in my hand for almost an hour.’

‘Japanese culture. My friend who is Japanese said they are raised with the mindset ‘we have a small island, we need to keep it clean.’ Its beautiful,’ said a fourth.

A fifth also reiterated that Ohtani’s habits are ‘something Americans will never understand.’

Ohtani’s unfortunate early exit from the game was caused by a partial dislocation of his left shoulder while attempting a second base steal.

Nonetheless, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Ohtani to play in Game 3 on Monday.

Ohtani sat out the rest of the game after injuring his shoulder during a base steal attempt 

‘He’s playing tomorrow,’ Roberts told ESPN on Sunday. ‘That’s my expectation talking to the training staff and getting the reports.

‘If it’s a pain-tolerance situation, I just don’t see him not playing Game 3.’

After signing a lucrative 10-year, $700million contract, Ohtani didn’t spend any time on the injured list this year. Furthermore, he put together a historic season, becoming the first member of the 50/50 club in September.

In 13 games this postseason, Ohtani slashed .260/.403/.460 with three home runs and 10 RBIs but no stolen bases.

‘I think that he’s obviously very well aware of himself and his body,’ Roberts added. ‘So if he feels good enough to go, then I see no reason why he wouldn’t be in there.’
