Shohei Ohtani's video pitch to Tyler Glasnow helped recruit the pitcher to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Glasgow signed a five-year, $136 million deal with the Dodgers after coming over in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.

"It definitely added a lot of points for me to go to the Dodgers," Glasnow said of Ohtani's pitch. "It was awesome. He just said he wants me to come on the team and hopes to hit some home runs for me and join me on the pitching staff the following year."

Ohtani won't be a two-way player next season after undergoing elbow surgery. Instead, he'll be the Dodgers' designated hitter.

"I just want to pick his brain and know what he's learned," Glasnow said. "He just seems like such a cool dude and probably one of the best baseball players to ever live. I want to be on a field with that guy."
