Shohei Ohtani donates $150,000 Home Run Derby winnings to Angels staffers

Shohei Ohtani just keeps finding ways to impress.
The Los Angeles Angels phenom failed to make it out of the first round of the Home Run Derby, losing a multi-round swing-off to Juan Soto, but he still received $150,000 for participating. According to the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher, Ohtani decided to give the money away.
Ohtani reportedly distributed checks to around 30 Angels support staffers — including trainers, clubhouse workers and media relations personnel — to thank them for their work on Friday.

What's more, the 27-year-old reportedly planned to do this no matter how the Derby played out, which means he would have been giving out $1 million had he won on Monday.

Damn that's a cool story. Very refreshing to hear a good story like this these days. He definitely made me a fan today.

Very classy of him to do!

Shohei is the perfect human.
He seems to never do anything wrong, and always just has that big grin on his face

He is so sincere, he just likes to have fun and is a good all around guy in general. Must be cool to have him as a teammate

Angles need to offload trout somehow and become a winner. They have a good young core outside him. The rendon contract a problem now.

This reminds me of Daigo Umehara(a Japanese pro gamer) who won a tournament and donated his whole winnings of 40k to charity. The impressive thing was that he didn’t have much money at the time.

He’s the man.

Live Shohei dude is nationalist AF when it comes to Japanese immigration policy and he doesn’t care who knows it

Ohtani is going to make a shite load of money. He’s only making 3.5/year right now.

I’d have to agree. A report came out that his all star jersey sold for $111,050.
The next closest was Fernando Tatiana at $3,360. LINK
Pretty incredible. And that’s not taking anything away from Tatis. It’s just Ohtani has potential to be a once in a life time talent. I wasn’t on the hype train until I saw him live absolutely shite on a pitch. The sound that ball makes off the bat from him is unreal.

He’s THE face of baseball for a country of 125 million people. His sponsorship dollars will rival his mlb deal, even when he gets a mega contract.
