Watch Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman Build Chemistry With Fun Antics During Spring Training

The two stars seem to be enjoying playing together already.

The addition of Shohei Ohtani this offseason has created a major buzz around the Dodgers. He is the biggest show in the game today and will give Los Angeles some added star power to their already impressive team. 

Ohtani is as serious as they come when it comes to preparation and the game of baseball. It's what has allowed him to find so much success throughout his career already and why he is such a unique player.

But in all of his seriousness, he is also a fun-loving person. He wants to have fun while playing the game that he loves, and it has been on full display with the Dodgers already.

During their workouts, you can see below that Ohtani was having some fun with first baseman Freddie Freeman. It looked like the two were mimicking each other's batting stances, showing some of that chemistry building. 

Freeman and Ohtani are cornerstones for the Dodgers going forward, so their creating a strong bond is key. Having these types of interactions can help improve play on the field down the line, and Spring Training is where it all starts. 

It's nice to see them having some fun between training sessions, with the hope being that it translates to success on the field. Both players understand the importance of working hard, but it's also nice to let loose every once in a while to enjoy time with teammates.
