Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani solidified his commitment to the California-based team when he snapped up a stunning mansion in La Canada Flintridge for $7.85 million in May 2024. (Realtor.com)
On paper, the property was the perfect place for the baseball prodigy. It offered not only proximity to Dodger Stadium, but also an array of luxury amenities. (Realtor.com)
The home is also nestled at the heart of a 0.93-acre lot, which should have provided the famously private Ohtani with plenty of protection from prying eyes. (Realtor.com)
However, his property purchase quickly became the source of much stress and scandal after it was reported by Japanese media that several local outlets in Ohtani’s home country had leaked the address of his new abode. (Realtor.com)
The security concerns in the wake of this information leak reportedly left Ohtani furious—and are also said to have made him determined to part ways with the property, before he had even moved in.
However, the home is still very much in his possession more than a year later. Records seen by Realtor.com® reveal that the dwelling is still registered to the LLC he used to buy it. (Realtor.com)
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ohtani has not revealed whether he has moved into the property—or quietly purchased another abode in the Los Angeles area using a different LLC. (Realtor.com)
The home features a splendid outdoor dining area, as well as a swimming pool, a hot tub, and a sport court. (Realtor.com)
It is unclear whether Ohtani has ever actually lived in the property—or if he is holding on to it while building his dream dwelling in Hawaii, where he bought a plot of land in April 2024. (Realtor.com)
