Decoy Ohtani is popular.
By one measure, Shohei Ohtani’s dog is much more revered than the entire Colorado Rockies.
MLB’s social media account on X has shared 11 posts this offseason involving Decoy.
They’ve shared five about the Rockies in any form.
Unfortunately, this is not a joke…

To be fair, can you really blame the social media team?
Decoy is cute and adorable. He’s the dog of the most talented baseball player ever, a multi-cultural icon who plays for the back-to-back World Series champs.
The Rockies were one of the worst teams in baseball history in 2025.
As far as engagement goes, there’s really no contest.
Decoy is very excited for his first starring literary role 😂 https://t.co/s3v5XDYxH3 pic.twitter.com/5nhQDJxIU4

Once the season gets going, the MLB account will have more actual baseball content to share.
They still might find a way to get Decoy some action, though. Who doesn’t love a dog?
