Shohei Ohtani has spoken out amid the investigation into the gambling allegations involving his former interpreter.
After Ippei Mizuhara was charged with felony bank fraud this week after allegedly stealing $16 million from Ohtani to cover gambling debts, the Japanese superstar opened up about the process.
The Dodgers’ designated hitter said he’s “grateful” with where things are going but hopes to keep the focus on baseball going forward.
“I’m very grateful for the Department of Justice’s investigation,” Ohtani said in Japanese on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
