Shohei Ohtani could have pursued a 15-year contract through age 44, but the two-way superstar didn't want to risk a decline in his skills while under the big deal.

Besides his baseball contract, Ohtani will make more than $100 million in endorsements this year, according to agent Nez Balelo.

Nez Balelo, Shohei Ohtani's agent, was on hand for Sportico's Invest West conference at Intuit Dome Thursday and discussed subjects related to his high-profile client.
