Ohtani’s Recent Performance: Is Parenting Affecting His Game? Insights and Tips for New Parents

Question from a reader:
I’ve heard that Ohtani’s performance hasn’t been great lately, and I’m worried. Is he receiving constant questions from the media regarding his child?

Concerns About Ohtani’s Performance!

Good evening! Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot about Ohtani not performing well. It’s concerning, but I think his struggles might not be as connected to his surrounding circumstances as
we might think. Last year, he also started off slow, but by May, he really turned things around, so I’m hopeful for a similar outcome this year!

Media Influence? Or Baby Influence?

By the way, the story about receiving baby clothes and a hat from the mascot before the game is quite amusing! I can imagine that if he was being congratulated and teased by everyone before the game, it would be hard for him to focus. When my child was born, I was constantly asked by friends, “How’s parenting going?” and honestly, it made me nervous all the time (laughs). So I can relate to how Ohtani must feel. As parents, we can’t help but worry about our children and our partners, right? Especially when it’s your first child, it’s hard to think about anything else. I remember there were times when my child was crying, and I completely forgot about the game. There were also moments I indulged a bit too much in snacks and gained some weight. During those times, when people said, “Parenting is tough,” it felt like I had some understanding from others, which lightened my spirit a bit.
