Ohtani in Dutch newspaper

On October 3rd Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant published a 2 page article about Shohei Ohtani. The article is written by Koen van der Velden, a sports journalist stationed in the USA, who regularly writes about US-sports.
Honestly, I was surprised by the two page spread with the title ‘he hits ánd steals’ which also had three pictures of Ohtani hitting, stealing and playing with Decoy.
The level of writing was good. Often non-american writers miss something but this was well written.

Ofcourse I have something to nag about, as always. Koen writes about the play-offs which in the MLB is the postseason and he mentions that the Triple Crown has not been given out since 1937, which is only parlty true. It was the last time an NL-player won is.

Other than that: great read! It mentions the big off season contract the Dodgers offered Ohtani. Although he was recovering from surgery. His pitching sabbatical and how he zoned in adding another weapon: stealing more bases.
It ends with a mention of the Dodgers going for their 8th World Series championship and that Ohtani might be the missing piece to reach it.
In short: I’m a happy camper with this kind of exposure of the Dodgers in a Dutch newspaper. 😊
