The Los Angeles Angels missed the Major League Baseball playoffs for the second year in a row, and Shohei Ohtani wasn't happy about it.
He said it was a good season for him. It's not good for the Angels.
The Angels missed out on the playoffs for the eighth year in a row because of lack of support for their two former American League Most Valuable Players Ohtani and Trout.
In Japanese, Ohtani said that August and September felt longer to him. We weren't able to play as many good games as we wanted. I don't think this season is going well.
The Astros were 33 games ahead of the Angels in the American League West.
The Angels haven't made the playoffs in four years. One of baseball's biggest stars was left on the sideline for the game's biggest stage after Ohtani joined.
As a pitcher, Ohtani was 15-9 with a 2.33ERA.
He was asked if he could repeat as the American League's Most Valuable Player.
He said he was happy to be a candidate.
Ohtani has received a lot of awards. He was the American League's Most Valuable Player. The Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award was given to him last season to recognize his two way play.
Ohtani will sign a $30 million deal with the Angels in the final year of his contract before he becomes a free agent. They want to keep him.
He was interested in playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic.
Major league players from the United States and Latin America have announced their participation. I'm very interested in participating in this tournament. I feel that way.
