Shohei Ohtani, now with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is making efforts to bond with his new teammates amid fame and language hurdles.

Ohtani's recent betting scandal involving his former interpreter hasn't deterred him from maintaining focus and performance on the field.

The star uses hand signals and English to communicate during games, showing adaptability in overcoming the language barrier.

His teammates have reciprocated support and acknowledge his ability to stay professional and playful despite challenges.

The absence of Ohtani's former interpreter has inadvertently fostered closer relations with other players.
