Japanese baseball great Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter pleaded guilty on Tuesday to stealing nearly $17 million from the athlete’s bank account to pay off his own gambling debts, according to U.S. prosecutors. Ippei Mizuhara, the former translator and de facto manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ power-hitting pitcher, pleaded guilty in a deal that had been announced last month, U.S. attorney Martin Estrada said. Mizuhara’s lawyer declined to comment.
