WATCH: Shohei Ohtani delivers rocking English speech to Dodgers fans during World Series celebrations in LA

Shohei Ohtani is not only one of the most popular baseball players in the world, but is arguably one of the most popular athletes in general.

The superstar has continually defied what was once deemed impossible on the baseball field and as a result, his fanbase has continually grown over the years.

After signing a record-shattering 10-year, $700,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the offseason, some questioned whether or not Shohei Ohtani would be worth it. Well, less than a year later, Ohtani and the rest of the club's star-studded roster were able to secure the eighth World Series title in franchise history.

One of the biggest question marks about Ohtani and his potential turn as a true marketable superstar has been the language barrier. While some have questioned whtether or not he could be the face of the MLB, the Japanese superstar has continued to improve upon his English, something he displayed during the World Series parade celebrations.

As the celebration made its way to Dodger Stadium, Ohtani got his hands on the microphone and addressed a packed crowd. The moment he began to speak, the entire stadium went quiet before erupting in celebration of the superstar and the World Series title.

"This is a special moment for me. I am so honored to be here and to be part of this team. Congratulations, Los Angeles. Thank you fans," Ohtani said to the fans in attendance at Dodger Stadium.

There has been a lot made about Shohei Ohtani's level of English, including by Stephen A. Smith, who said that he could never be the face of MLB because he didn't speak the language. Yet, here we are years later and Ohtani is arguably the most popular player across MLB.

Shohei Ohtani's deferred contract opens the door for the Dodgers to add more players this offseason

While Dodgers fans cheered for Ohtani's English message, they may continue to applaud their superstar if they are able to add more valuable assets this offseason.

The majority of his massive 10-year, $700,000,000 contract has been deferred to the future, which will open the door for the team to pursue other free agents on the open market.

One of the main reasons why Shohei Ohtani joined the Dodgers was because they presented him with an opportunity to win. Well, it's safe to say that it all worked out for all parties.

That being said, it could just be the beginning of something special as Ohtani's deferred contract could help land another superstar and more World Series titles.
