Seiya Suzuki delivered his speech to Shohei Ohtani in a hilarious way

Seiya Suzuki has made no secret of the fact that he will do his best to recruit superstar Shohei Ohtani to Chicago.

Prior to the Cubs-Angels series final in Anaheim on Thursday night, Suzuki took to the grass courts and continued his pitch at his compatriot.

Suzuki mimicked a fishing move, trying to “coil” Ohtani.

He also pointed to his Cubs hat as he continued his conversation with the Angels DH/pitcher.

Her kids in Anaheim!

The two-way star will become a free agent at the end of the 2023 campaign and will undoubtedly earn the biggest contract in baseball history and possibly in American sports history.

Ohtani, who turns 29 next month, enters Thursday’s game with 16 homers, 42 RBI and a . 902 OPS offensively while posting a 5-2 record, 3.30 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 71 innings as a starting pitcher.

He won AL MVP honors in 2021 when he hit 46 homers, cruised in 100 runs, scored 103 runs and also won 9 games with a 3.18 ERA in 23 starts on the mound.

Suzuki is under contract with the Cubs until the 2026 season and would love to play with Ohtani every day.

It’s clear the Cubs won’t be the only team bidding on Ohtani’s services in free agency this winter. Every team would love to have a baseball unicorn.
