Glasnow looks back on the “recruitment video” from Shohei Otani
Pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who was traded to the Dodgers, appeared on the American podcast program “Foul Territory” on the 19th (20th Japan time). When asked about the “recruitment video” sent by his colleague, pitcher Shohei Ohtani, during transfer negotiations, he answered, “It’s a cool thing. I’m on the same team as him, and on top of that, he even sent me a video. It’s pretty crazy. “No,” he said, looking satisfied.

Glasnow, 30, has pitched in 21 games this season with a 10-7 record and a 3.53 ERA. He is expected to be a part of the starting rotation, and the Dodgers signed him to a new five-year contract worth $136.5 million (approximately 19.4 billion yen). During negotiations with the team, Otani sent him a video message saying, “I want to hit a home run for you.” “When I woke up one morning, there was a message from the GM (with a recruiting video of Otani), and there was an (English) translation at the bottom,” he said, looking back on that day.
Glasnow also seemed to agree, “(Transferring to the Dodgers) is a big addition.” When interviewer Eric Kratz suggested that Ohtani’s video could be reused to recruit other players, Glasnow replied, “That’s a great idea. (The video) is on my phone.” He burst out laughing.
