People like Barry Bonds, Aaron Rodgers, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Tim says he's been trying to decipher the enigma that is Shohei Ohtani ever since he first arrived here in the United States.

When he came here, I first started observing him, knowing that I was going to have to observe him to write about him rather than talk to him because it was established early on that it was a dead end.

He will only take questions about the game and very few, three, maybe four in each language.

And these are in like bit questions.

I want to know, like, you just threw 117 pitches.

What do you feel today? And he would not, he just doesn't entertain those.

He's just not built that way.
