The 32-page book, which Ohtani co-authored with Michael Blank, is titled “Decoy Saves Opening Day” and will be released in February. Ohtani hopes to use the book’s sales to support animal rescue

Injuries may have prevented Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani from throwing from the mound recently, but they haven’t stopped him from coming up with a new pitch: co-writing a children’s book based on his baseball-fetching dog Decoy.

Apparently re-writing the record books was not quite enough for Shohei Ohtani. Now he's writing his own book. The three-time MVP and two-way superstar will soon be able to add published author to his lengthy list of accomplishments.
