Former Angels P shares great Shohei Ohtani workout story

Shohei Ohtani finishes a swing

Nobody doubts Shohei Ohtani’s commitment to his craft, but one former teammate shared a story that shows just how serious Ohtani is.

Pitcher Alex Cobb, who spent the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Angels, revealed that he trained with Ohtani for a period of time during the offseason. Cobb said Ohtani is always trying to beat world records whenever he trains, even asking what mark he has to beat.

At this point, there’s no reason to doubt Ohtani’s capabilities. He can hit and pitch at the highest levels, so why wouldn’t he be a workout warrior as well?

Ohtani is an ambitious guy, and that has started to show through as he names some of his goals for the future. Setting a world record in a workout would definitely qualify, too.
