Shohei Ohtani wants to show "dad power" and returns to the Dodgers to pick key submissions to help the team win against opponents

Shohei Ohtani returned from paternity leave, and the Dodgers were curious about how the already powerful superstar "Daddy Power" would subvert perception.

In Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers, Ohtani was activated from the sidelines and returned to the trailblazer position. The day before, he had just announced through Instagram that his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, had given birth to a daughter.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my beloved wife for giving birth to a healthy and beautiful daughter," Otani wrote on social media IG, "To my daughter: Thank you for making us a nervous and expectant new parent." "

To free up roster space, the Dodgers opted to designate the transfer of Eddie Rosario. The second-rate superstar had previously stayed in Southern California to accompany his wife and missed the team's first two games on the road.

"Paternity leave is usually three days," said coach Dave Roberts, "but he showed the ability to balance life and work by making sure his daughter returned as soon as she was healthy." The most important thing is to congratulate them on their wonderful win. "

Ohtani, who had a full attendance in the first 20 games of the season, handed over a 0.288 batting average, a 0.930 attack index, hit six home runs and ran back to 21 points. Although he didn't show his typical "dad power" on Sunday afternoon, he picked up a crucial guarantee in eight innings to pave the way for the winning offensive.

"Daddy Power is real," Roberts teased before the game, "and Ohtani's current striking power is amazing. When we become fathers, we may be able to witness a muzzle velocity of 120mph – something we've never seen before. "
