Shohei Ohtani's dog Decoy steals show by becoming first dog to deliver MLB first pitch

Decoy's first pitch was the highlight of a game that saw Ohtani homer and steal two bases in the Dodgers' 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles in front of a sold-out crowd of 53,290 people, the vast majority of whom arrived exceedingly early to snag an Ohtani-Decoy bobblehead.
"It's a really special night," Ohtani said through his interpreter, referencing Decoy's theatrics. "I hope to buy some special snack for him."

Shohei finally found a real best friend he can trust.

Decoy is not allowed on the computer. He's a good boy who sticks to simple pastimes.

[@atlmswbko4394]

If Decoy was allowed on the computer, he would have made better financial choices and not throw away the dream life.

[@Stealth534]

Pretty impressive Decoy wasn't intimidated and distracted by the huge crowd!

[@CrazyMurica]

Decoy probably has seen a much bigger crowd in Japan.. I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have someone making an anime

[@umbrobose1503]

あんな大観衆が注目するマウンドでも動じず、ちゃんとミッション達成したデコピンのハート💓も強いなぁ･･

[@l.e.6263]

Such a gorgeous K9; Dekoy matches Ohtani’s optimistic good nature & true sportsmanship respect to fellow athletes.

[@gravity32064]

Decoy's performance on this day will surely have caught the eye of scouts from other teams, and he is destined to face Ohtani in the finals in the near future.

Ohtani never forget to give his doggy a reward food even in like this situation.... Impressive.

[@Cart_kid]

Much respect! And Otahni hit a HR too

[@StarrCards]

And stole a couple bases to boot!

[@harumih.3727]

Without TM procedure and ensuing the rehab, he would pitch and Decoy would be a catcher for this ceremony. What a perfect and lovely pair they can play!!

[@halflanding1900]

We know Shohei has an MLB record or two but this has got to be his _most unconventional achievement ever_ that will go down in history!! 😜

[@Bogie0315]

Decoy was great! I loved his first pitch, may be the best first pitch ever. I think it was a Home Run!!

[@bennynguyen9452]

Yeah... It’s a strike and a SLIDER... Decoy still wanted to show its second pitch SINKER, wink-wink, to its master. SHO😂😊❤

The new interpreter is wonderful! His translation is correct and well-arranged based on Ohtani's comments.

[@iashakezula]

I love it when Decopin aka Decoy , licked Shohei face. That was a very sweet moment. He really trained him well and in a matter of 3 weeks plus getting use to the noise and most likely did it at the Dodger stadium.

[@早川三千代]

[@harumih.3727]

Decoy steals the show of the first pitch. Shohei steals the show of the game with 42nd homer and 42rd stolen base.

[@johnnier.o.d4746]

I think we can agree that Dekopin and Shohei had a better first pitch than 50 cent.

Decoyって「囮」って意味だよね。「デコピン」のかわいらしさと面白さがどっかいってもうてる

After the first pitch to Shohei Ohtani, Decoy still wanted to run back to the mound and saying:“ Woof-woof... You just saw my SLIDER. Now, let’s go with my second pitch SINKER,wink-wink, for the fans, eh, Master. Sho”. 😂😊

Being paid $70 million a year and Ohtani can’t even learn the English language. People are so desperate for their entertainments. Sad and disgusting

[@ninacarranza5189]

😂😂😂 he too overwhelmed to study but we still appreciate him

[@colinbanning9416]

He’s not being paid to learn a language, he’s being paid to be good at baseball. You’re such a loser.

[@streetcar6080]

His English is pretty good but you know him, he wont speak it until he is fully fluent. That should be soon

[@polarbear55jp]

Baseball is the language that all MLB players speak wherever they were born. Sho is a smart guy, and so time will come soon.

翔平は試合でベースを盗んだけど、デコピンは観衆の心を盗みやがったよ。
