Ohtani Interpreter Charged with Stealing More Than $16 Million from Baseball Superstar

ohtani interpreterUS officials charged long-time Ohtani interpreter Ippei Mizuhara with stealing over $16 million from the Dodgers superstar. California’s lead prosecutor accused Mizuhara of impersonating Shohei Ohtani to banks and wagered on sports.

In a shocking turn of events, the 39-year-old Mizuhara was dismissed last month after news of the alleged theft broke. According to sportsbook pay per head experts, the prosecuting attorneys have revealed a brazen scheme where the interpreter wagered Ohtani's funds and then siphoned off his winnings into a personal account. It is claimed that he managed to transfer over $16 million from Ohtani's account without any authorization between 2021 and 2024.

Ohtani is a Japanese sports star, and the accusation paper states that Mizuhara, who was effectively Ohtani's manager, took advantage of his lack of English proficiency.

According to baseball betting tutorials and news sites, Mizuhara posed as Ohtani over the phone to deceive bank staff into wiring money to people involved in illicit gaming. Mizuhara reportedly spent Ohtani's money—$325,000 worth—on baseball cards between January and March 2024.

MLB Betting: Profitable Pitchers

MLB Betting Tips: Profitable PitchersWhat is the formula for finding a profitable starting pitcher? It’s a complicated formula, and the stats that you might associate with a profitable pitcher don’t always apply.

Win/loss record isn’t everything. Clayton Kershaw is more profitable this year with a 6-4 record than Carlos Carrasco, who is 18-6. ERA isn’t a determining factor, as Zack Greinke comes in #9 on our list, right ahead of Madison Bumgarner and his 1.73 ERA.

Team start record isn’t even an accurate indicator, as Adam Morgan’s 7-6 TSR is not nearly as good as Gerrit Cole’s 19-9 TSR, yet Morgan is two spots above Cole on our list.

The most influential part of a profitable pitcher is the MLB Betting Line. Finding pitchers who win while being listed as the underdog or small favorites is the key. Of course, winning at a high rate trumps all.
