I'm not in the LA area, do a good job of marketing Ohtani, but people in other areas of the country don't see what they do locally. With once-in-lifetime talent like Ohtani the Commissioner's Office should be working with the top ad firms to promote the game with him and the other great new stars to grow viewership and fans lost long ago to football and basketball.

I'm not that far away from the LA area but I don't see any of the Ohtani marketing done locally. IMO baseball/the Commissioner's Office is missing an opportunity.
