Shohei Ohtani addresses Los Angeles Angels' second baseman as "Ikemen," here's why
Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder who recently blasted his 100th career home run, has a unique nickname for his teammate Tyler Wade. Wade is dubbed "Ikemen" by the reigning MVP, which loosely translates to "hot guy" in Japanese. Since Ohtani is a member of the Los Angeles Angels, other members of the MLB team have a sizable fan base in Japan. As per Ohtani, Tyler Wade, a utility player for the Los Angeles Angels, has a slew of admirers in Japan who think of him as a handsome hunk.
"Many Angels are famous in Japan because they keep showing up in photos of Ohtani; he recently informed Wade that the second baseman has many admirers abroad, and he now only addresses him as “ikemen,” which means “hot guy.”" si.com/mlb/2022/05/13…
