Shohei Ohtani’s ex-interpreter Ippei Mizuhara delivering Uber Eats after fraud scandal

Disgraced MLB translator Ippei Mizuhara has a new gig.

Mizuhara, who was Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani’s longtime translator, earlier this week pleaded guilty to bank and tax fraud, admitting to stealing nearly $17 million from Ohtani to pay off sports gambling debts.

He was spotted recently delivering Uber Eats in the Los Angeles area, as seen in pictures exclusively obtained by The Post.

Mizuhara’s scandal rocked MLB given Ohtani’s stature in the league and just how close the two of them had been throughout the Japanese star’s career.

It was the first major gambling controversy — though not the last — to hit the league since betting was legalized in certain states.

Ohtani was formally cleared by MLB in the league’s own investigation and following Mizuhara’s guilty plea.

“Based on the thoroughness of the federal investigation that was made public, the information MLB collected, and the criminal proceeding being resolved without being contested, MLB considers Shohei Ohtani a victim of fraud,” MLB said in a statement. “And this matter has been closed.”

Ohtani has spoken sparingly since the scandal emerged, but he released his own statement after the guilty plea.

“Now that the investigation has been completed, this full admission of guilt has brought important closure to me and my family,” Ohtani said. “I want to sincerely thank the authorities for finishing their thorough and effective investigation so quickly and uncovering all of the evidence.

“This has been a uniquely challenging time, so I am especially grateful for my support team – my family, agent, agency, lawyers, and advisers along with the entire Dodger organization, who showed endless support throughout this process.

“It’s time to close this chapter, move on and continue to focus on playing and winning ballgames.”

Mizuhara’s sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 25.

“I worked for victim A and had access to his bank account and had fallen into major gambling debt,” Mizuhara said in a statement. “I went ahead and wired money… with his bank account.”
