"Decoy can't wait to throw the first pitch on Opening Day of the new baseball season! The stadium has hot dogs, the biggest backyard he's ever seen, and thousands of his best human friends. It's going to be the best day ever, but-oh, no!-Decoy forgot his lucky baseball at home! Can he get his ball and make it back to the stadium before it's too late?"
"Shohei Ohtani is the biggest name in baseball and a proud sponsor of animal rescue organizations. Shohei and Decoy hope to use the publication of Decoy Saves Opening Day to support the work these amazing nonprofits do helping dogs find their forever homes. While their fictional counterparts are saving opening day, Shohei and Decoy are working to help real-life animals in need."
Shohei Ohtani wrote a children's book titled Decoy Saves Opening Day, inspired by his dog Decoy, and it releases Tuesday, February 3. The plot follows Decoy as he prepares to throw the first pitch on Opening Day but forgets his lucky baseball at home and races to retrieve it before the game. The book cover features a photo of Ohtani with Decoy. HarperCollins describes the stadium setting and the urgent search for the ball. Ohtani and Decoy plan to use the book to support animal rescue organizations. Ohtani has produced dominant offensive numbers in 2024 and made a pitching debut in 2025 with the Dodgers.
