Shohei Ohtani Unveils Famous Dog's Name at Dodgers Introduction

Shohei Ohtani, the two-way star for the Los Angeles Dodgers, revealed that his famous dog's Japanese name is Dekopin, but he introduced him as Decoy in America for easier pronunciation. The pup, nicknamed Most Valuable Pup, gained attention when Ohtani won his second American League MVP award and gave him a high five during the announcement. Ohtani had an impressive season both on the mound and at the plate, but he is not expected to pitch again until 2025 due to his second Tommy John surgery.
