Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers were able to put an early season controversy involving their star slugger's former interpreter behind them on the way to winning the 2024 World Series. Ippei Mizuhara pleaded guilty in May 2024 to one count of bank fraud and one count of subscribing to a false tax return after defrauding the 30-year-old Dodgers superstar of more than $16 million over the span of nearly three years between 2021 and 2024.
