Shohei Ohtani Seeks Baseball Cards From Interpreter in Federal Case

Dec 3, 2024

The Dodgers star, who is seeking baseball cards valued at more than $325,000 his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara fraudulently purchased, will be getting them once Mizuhara is sentenced in January. Ohtani requested a hearing in California’s Central District court late last week as part of the restitution in the federal case against Mizuhara for stealing more than $17 million from Ohtani to pay off millions in sports gambling debts.

Once Mizuhara is sentenced, the government will move for an order “to reflect Ohtani’s superior interest in the property.”
