Watch the exact moment a stunned Mike Tyson finds out that Shohei Ohtani is a man during the ESPYs

Shohei Ohtani will miss the 2026 MLB All-Star Game after the Los Angeles Dodgers said he had irritation in his knee from a nagging injury. (This video contains AI-assisted content.)

Here's the good news — Shohei Ohtani took home an ESPY award Wednesday night for the best single-game performance of the year.

Rightfully so, too. The Los Angeles Dodgers star hit three home runs and struck out 10 in Game 4 of the NLDS last fall. That award was always going to go to Ohtani. It was arguably the greatest playoff performance ever. We may never see it again.

Anyway, like I said, that's the good news.

The bad news?

Mike Tyson, who presented an absent Ohtani with the award during Wednesday night's show, had no idea Shohei was a man until after the fact.

That's right.

Mike Tyson found out just last night that the best player in Major League Baseball was, indeed, not a woman on stage at the ESPYs.

Take a look:

"And the ESPY award goes to — check this out — Shohei Ohtani," a proud Tyson exclaimed after correctly saying Shohei's name.

"Shohei's a guy?" he then asked Jake Paul with the innocence of a toddler on Christmas morning.

He literally had no idea. You can hear it in his voice. Mike Tyson is legitimately stunned to discover that Shohei Ohtani is a guy. He had no idea. None. Zero. Zilch.
