The mentorship from a famous former teammate helped Philadelphia Phillies star Brandon Marsh turn around his career during their mutual time in Anaheim.
The Angels can't be entirely disappointed with the Anaheim tenure of Brandon Marsh. Although he wouldn't truly fulfill his potential until he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, he was able to fetch the Angels' catcher of the future — Logan O'Hoppe — in a 1-for-1 trade in Aug. 2022.
It isn't always the case that non-native English speakers will cross the language barrier to offer actionable advice to teammates. In the case of Marsh, Ohtani's mentorship helped — perhaps with an assist from an interpreter and some limited Japanese on his own part.“Shohei was definitely a dude that I looked up to, not just for his ability, but for the guy he was to me, the bigger brother he was to me,” Marsh told Coffey.
", he came up to me and told me to just swing harder,” Marsh said of Ohtani, via the Inquirer. “He basically said my backside wasn’t driving as hard as it should have been. He said attack the ball harder and let the body work.
