Once I learned that Ohtani cleared 40 million last season on endorsements alone it all made perfect sense. I suspect that that number will increase with a huge market team like the Dodgers. His fame is going to only increase now and the money is about to get stupid from everywhere.

If he is healthy and playing great for a franchise like the Dodgers, he will be in the upper upper upper echelon of highest amount of endorsements among professional athletes.
