Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is widely viewed as the best player in baseball right now. He has put together an amazing career thus far and has simply continued to get better year after year.

Last season, Ohtani was able to lead the Dodgers to a World Series win. He put together a massive season and helped enter the 2025 season with his team favored to repeat as champions.

While Ohtani is a generational talent and has a chance to go down as one of the best players of all-time, his personality has not changed a bit.

Ohtani is still an extremely humble superstar. He is also an amazing teammate.

That character trait was seen once again during a recent game when Ohtani went to the water cooler, proceeded to pour eight drinks, but none of them were for himself. Instead, he was getting water for his teammates.

The video was shared by @DanClarkSports on X.

So far this season, Ohtani has helped the team start off with a 14-6 record through their first 20 games. Los Angeles has started strong, although there are clear things to clean up.

As for Ohtani specifically, he has hit six home runs to go along with eight RBI's while slashing .288/.380/.550. His start has been a bit slow, but there shouldn't be a single worry about him picking up speed as the season moves forward.

During the 2023 campaign with the Dodgers, Ohtani hit 54 home runs, drove in 130 RBI's, and recorded a slash line of .310/.390/.646.

His numbers are incredibly throughout his career, but his personality and character stand out even more.
