A good athlete playing a good game of sport transcends language and culture. Shohei Ohtani seems to communicate with his team perfectly fine, so there's no concern there, and he's talented and passionate which seems to be going over well with the crowd. What language he defaults to doesn't mean a fucking thing, and his popularity shows that any trouble he has "inidegrating with the American public" isn't an issue.

So what is the harm Shohei Ohtani is doing to baseball? What's the wrong message, that it's okay to speak Japanese?

If you're concerned with the way someone talks, when it doesn't seem like it affects the way they do their job or how they endear themselves to people, that seems like a you problem. Stop shifting your stupid fucking drama onto the sport as a whole and framing it as everyone's problem, because most people understand that a good game of sport is a good game of sport, and an athlete using an interpreter doesn't matter when they're running the fucking game.
