“Hollywood. Hollywood Swinging.” Yes, indeed it is! The world’s greatest baseball player kicks off the New Balance commercial aired during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The high rotation ad opens with L.A. superstar Shohei Ohtani taking his famous bat skills to the tune of “Hollywood Swinger” by Kool and the Gang.
The Dodgers Designated Hitter with the league’s most home runs joins fellow athletes competing in the Paris Olympics. Ohtani has advocated for the international sporting event to bring back the sport of baseball and his interest in participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Olympian Ohtani, the world will absolutely go crazy if that happens.
For the New Balance Olympics commercial, Ohtani is in good company with two-time American gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, tennis star and Team USA flag bearer Coco Gauff, English soccer star Bukayo Saka, NBA players Jamal Murray and Tyrese Maxey, and three-time gold medalist WNBA player Cameron Brink.
