Los Angeles Angels luminary Shohei Ohtani is so electric, he rakes on his days off, too.
Global merchandise and memorabilia brand Fanatics announced on Tuesday a multiyear partnership as the exclusive distributor of Ohtani autographs, collectables and memorabilia. Ohtani will sign bats, jerseys, photos and select game-used items in both English and Japanese. The partnership does not affect sports cards.
"This is something we've been working towards for a while," Fanatics executive vice president Victor Shaffer said. "[This] will be the first time fans are going to be offered a full array of [Ohtani's] memorabilia products.
