@@Clancysway yup that's exactly what happens. That's why Ohtani still speaks in Japanese and Ichiro did it most of his career.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

@@Clancysway That's part of it. The other is that, while some of these Japanese players do _speak_ English, they're always concerned that their words may come out wrong and end up being misinterpreted.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@ZhangtheGreatYu speaks English about as good as Pedro Martinez. He’s pretty good. Only reason to she interpretator is to keep him employed or maybe there’s a cultural thing where they want/need to have have their statements be 100% correct and don’t want to mess up in English

[@中橋大橋]

The Cardinals, St. Louis, and Missouri had an unexpected effect in Japan at this year's WBC. Nootbaar has a very good character, and there is no Japanese person who dislikes him. He's just the most famous American man right now. There are a lot of Japanese who paid attention to Nootbaar Cardinals, St. Louis, Missouri. The number of Cardinals fans in Japan will increase rapidly and more people will want to go to St. Louis. Cardinals goods will also become popular in Japan, so importers are preparing now.

[@latenightchillin]

These words mean a lot. I'm a massive Cardinals fan and live in missouri. We live, breathe and eat Cardinals baseball and nootbaar is our king here. Every time he comes up to bat the whole crowd goes NOOOOOOOOT 😂

[@Windjammer19]

The Cardinals are a great team to root for. I think you'll like them.

[@averybondeson3322]

thats awesome. i grew up a cubs fan (made the move to red sox recently because i hate the yankees). i cant say i really like the cardinals but lars is one of my favorite mlb players. yu darvish happens to be one of my favorite players as well. cheers from albuquerque, new mexico

[@kennynakawaki]

Yu speaks and understands better English than Ohtani, but still needs a translator for the longer questions and replies. Interesting! I thought he was already fluent 😂

[@Tomtomxyz26]

Many foreign players keep translators in case they misspeak and the media spin their words. Ichiro and Chapman do the same.

[@lethrgy]

sometimes its more comfortable to speak fluently in your own language than to worry about thinking how to convey your speech in another language

[@bahan6045]

Was wondering that too but his questions weren’t translated just his answers I’m thinking he just wanted to come off the right way and not be misunderstood with wordage

[@Texnorganic]

With the number of lawyers and political correctness preachers in your country I wouldn’t take the chance either

[@TheNonamelove]

As I know he's already as fluent as native speaker level, you can see many english interview videos on youtube. Just be with translator to avoid mistakes or for the Japanese people

I disagree. He may be an unnecessary addition (for you) but for Samurai Japan; he's important - everybody is important on that Japan baseball roster. Also, Nootbar wants to represent Japan since he was a kid.

[@トランスポッター-y6j]

なんて情けの無い人なんだ 屈折した性格だよな たっちゃんは最高の侍だよ

[@koningklootzak7788]

Bunch of foolish comments. By allowing Nootbaar to play for the national team, you are neglecting a more dedicated local player who worked hard to play for the national team. Someone who has japanese nationality and who speaks japanese. Why would you prioritize a foreigner to play in the national team? Similar trend can be seen at work places in Japan or in many other developed countries around the world. Foreigners from third world countries are given work while there are homeless japanese wondering on streets. The WBC rules are set by globalists to implement their agenda. I protest against invasion of foreign take over of Japan and of any other country in the world.

貴方が言いたい事はよく分かりました。 それに貴方は根本的に優しい人だと分かり先程のコメントは申し訳なく思っております。 どうしてヌードバーを受け入れたのか？の質問ですが、走る、打つ、守る、の評価を日本の栗山監督が見抜いたんだと思います。 それに前向きで明るい性格も栗山監督が気に入った一因だと思います。 日本ではスポーツは世界を１つに出来ると、言います。 お互い野球を今後も楽しみましょう！
