Mizuhara admitted to stealing nearly $17 million from Ohtani to pay off sports betting debts owed to an illegal bookmaker. The plea was entered during a change-of-plea hearing in federal court, where Mizuhara acknowledged his crimes and expressed remorse. He faces a maximum sentence of 33 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for October 25 at 2 pm PT.
