Shohei Ohtani is a celebrated man in Major League Baseball and the highest-paid athlete in history. On Thursday, the 30-year-old surprised fans with an obscene cheer.
He is the highest-paid baseball player in history – Shohei Ohtani earned $700 million for ten years with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB. But for a few moments, the 30-year-old forgot his good manners.

During his Dodgers’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Japanese player attracted attention with an offensive celebration. Some might say it was obscene, others probably thought the celebratory gesture was funny.

After Ohtani had stolen second base with the score at 0-0 in the first inning, he took off his batting glove. And then the 30-year-old went berserk.
Ohtani, who had already accomplished the feat of stealing a base for the 22nd time this season, was so happy that he pretended to masturbate by waving his hand back and forth in front of his genital area several times. A masturbation celebration, in other words – and all this while the opponent was kneeling on the ground diagonally in front of him.

Masturbation cheer goes viral
The live commentators of the broadcaster ESPN tried to ignore the “celebration scene”, but it quickly went viral on social media.
But there were also plenty of comments aimed at Ohtani’s controversial past. According to ESPN, in the spring of 2024, $4.5 million was transferred from one of Ohtani’s accounts to an illegal bookmaker. Ohtani’s translator subsequently stated that he had made these transactions to pay off his gambling debts, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison for other illegal offenses on October 25 of this year, according to CBS. At first, however, Ohtani himself was suspected of actively betting, even though any sports betting business is prohibited in California.

The Japanese superstar’s team lost the game against the Phillies 3-4, and Ohtani himself did not score a single run. However, the Dodgers continue to lead the National League West with a record of 55-38.
Only the Phillies have more wins in the National League. The MLB playoffs start as scheduled in early October.
