Shohei Ohtani’s offseasons will now have a Hawaiian touch as the Japanese superstar is all set to become the first homeowner of one of the lots at The Vista at Mauna Kea Resort. The property is expected to be around $17 million as Ohtani becomes the face of the resort line as part of their marketing strategy.
Shohei Ohtani’s home, Lot no.7, will be one of 14 luxury single-family homes that are being built on The Big Island in Hawaii. Each home has a dedicated view of the magnificent Hawaii shoreline and is sized at more than 7000 ft.

The homes are being developed by a California-based real estate development company, West Point, and each home is estimated to be priced at $17,300,000 according to Luana Hawaii Realty.
As part of the facility, the two-way phenom is also expected to build a hitting and pitching facility near his new home that will help him prepare during the offseason. His time during the preseason is expected to be a big marketing tool for the company looking to lure more investors into their grander scheme.

The federal inquiries have also stated that Mizuhara tricked and deceived bank employees several times to get approval on wire transfers to bookmakers. The former Angels interpreter is expected to serve jail time of close to 30 years. Shohei Ohtani has been cleared of the entire issue but is expected to release a final word on the matter, especially as both he and Ippei were close.
