Steven Kwan was approached by Shohei Ohtani to participate in the WBC?! (Chess + pinball wiz & MORE)

[@rtsuh]

Steve Kwan from Fremont, CA!

[@mitchmitchell9588]

This guy is class and great to watch. Would love to see him play for Japan!

[@suika197]

Japanese fans are looking forward to seeing you in 2026 WBC.🙏 I hope your wish comes true🙏

[@seanhancock6664]

I just went to an Hiroshima Carp game right here in Hiroshima. Stationed overseas here and from Cleveland Ohio area. I know people see my Steve Kwan jersey here❤❤❤. Not just that but I bought a Carp jersey today- Akiyama is the player and he’s been in for awhile. What an incredible game today even though they lost to Yokohama today but it’s all good. Still a great team!

[@shakerLT]

Totally a fan now! Great dude👍

Great interview. Keep it up Steven!

Japan gonna create a dynasty and dominate baseball like an anime game on easy mode

[@kw9377]

Big fan of his from Canada…. Though he’s been struggling the last month or 2 now..

[@Laguardiah]

Just a slump and the last 3 games he’s bat around .500 or so.

[@allenhaigh1774]

Huh no idea he was of Japanese Descent. Has a Chinese name but apparently has heritage from both. Ohtani gonna have the pull to recruit anyone even an 1/16th Japanese. Love it, thought Japan already has plenty of contact hitters. Seems like a dope dude.

[@crisperez4]

That’s wild 😂

[@gsmarcom]

that dude wants to win so much🤣, Davish said the same in the Ohtani documentary Beyond the Dreams

[@Mellowyellow8888]

for anyone wondering.. he's half Japanese (mom) and his dad is cantonese..

Seems like a good dude.

[@NonoGaming34]

I guess they might Both do the WBC

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

18:24 I’d be happy if Kwan joins Team Japan in the next WBC. He could be the leadoff-man, with Ohtani batting second, and together with Suzuki and Nootbaar, they'd cover the outfield.🇯🇵👏

[@brickwall2016]

Pure Class. Hope his IL stint is short. Guards lineup needs 38 at the top.

[@cJeremy]

i'd rather have him play for the US but there's probably no room for him.

[@mrcalipride]

no space for him, bro. Thats why you see a lot of American guys playing for their ethnicity.

@@mrcalipride that's what I said.

How is he having his name 'kwan' with his Japanese blood? That name is not Japanese name. More like Korean or Chinese name.

[@f430ferrari5]

His mom is Japanese American.

Nootbar is also not a Japanese name, but he is of Japanese descent.

I have a much better idea. He should stay in Cleveland and the Dodgers learn how to win without spending money to do it

Please be careful with the WBC. Too, many MLB players are getting hurt playing that series

LoL, if you say that he's not allowed to cross the street neither !! It's once in a lifetime experience and also another dimension to his resume
