The Dodgers created an awesome anime video to announce Shohei Ohtani joining the team

The Los Angeles Dodgers have finally confirmed that baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani has signed his record-breaking contract with the franchise.

With a very neat anime video starring an animated Ohtani, Los Angeles reassured its fans that, yes, the best player in baseball has indeed joined the franchise.

This video perfectly captures the excitement of Ohtani signing with the team while rightfully hyping up just how incredible he’s going to be in Dodger blue.

This has to be the coolest signing of the MLB season by a mile, and this is a heck of a way to confirm that it’s now official.

More teams need to embrace this style of creative announcement when they sign a big-ticket player, even if they’re not quite as major as Ohtani.

Los Angeles knocked this announcement video out of the park, although it won’t be as much of a grand slam as it will be to have Ohtani on the team.
