Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani says the upcoming Major League Baseball season opener against the San Diego Padres in Seoul will provide 'great memories' for him and his wife, but he'll attempt to focus on baseball. 

Ohtani spoke to journalists with Dodgers teammates at a packed press conference on Saturday, a day after he arrived here with his wife Mamiko Tanaka.

Ohtani said it was the first time for his wife 'to come with me to a game like this.'

'So I think it´s going to be really great memories for both of us. But like I said earlier, I have one job to focus on. It's baseball,' Otani said via an interpreter.

In late February, Ohtani, 29, said on Instagram that he was married to 'a normal Japanese woman' he had known for three to four years. 

But he hadn't said who she was until another Instagram post with a photo of him and Tanaka on Thursday.
