Dodgers two-way ace and four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani won the ESPY Award for Best Single-Game Performance in New York City on Wednesday night. The winner was announced by legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson, who shared the stage with Jake Paul and musician/rapper DJ Khaled.
While the announcement of the winner went off well, fans caught a wild moment on stage when Paul said that Ohtani couldn’t be there that night. The mic caught Tyson asking Paul in bafflement, “Shohei’s a guy?” This viral moment has since trended on social media, with fans sharing their reactions.
“How do you not know Shohei Ohtani?” one fan wrote.
“Shohei knew better than to show up to that clown show,” one fan commented.

Shohei Ohtani Expected To Resume Play In The Second Half After Undergoing Knee Procedure
Last Friday, the team announced that Ohtani would not start on the mound due to a lingering left knee injury but would serve as the designated hitter over the weekend. The injury led to a minor procedure, including draining his left knee and administering a cortisone shot to manage the pain.
Despite this, the Dodgers expected Ohtani to be ready for the upcoming series against the New York Yankees, a sentiment Roberts confirmed during All-Star week. Roberts said Ohtani will be in the lineup for the second half as the designated hitter. However, when asked about returning to pitching, Roberts was less definitive, saying, ‘We haven’t decided that yet.”
