Ippei Mizuhara entered a courtroom in shackles. Shohei Ohtani flew around Chavez Ravine on wings. On the most sobering, sensational of Fridays, one man’s arrest became another man’s freedom, a simple ballgame serving as a striking example of brilliance unburdened. Just down the street from Dodger Stadium, Ohtani’s longtime interpreter and close colleague Mizuhara surrendered to authorities on charges of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani to supply his gambling addiction.

Before hitting the hardest home run of his Major League Baseball career, the Dodgers slugger had to first lay off a pitch that just missed the plate.
