Default Shohei? Really?
Maybe I need a new eyeglasses prescription, but this isn't Ohtani, is it?

I'll go a different direction and congratulate Aaron Judge on signing something that actually resembles a legible autograph!

If somebody forced me to guess Ohtani's signature with a gun to my head...the 1st name I would come up with would be "Cavan Biggio" for some reason.

They're not showcasing his immense penmanship, but I suggest you take a look at Jackson Merrill's signature.

Looks like it's covered up by the other Jackson.

Where has 'penmenship' gone?

Here are two Giants team signed balls, one from the 1960's and the other more recent:

This is why we lean on TPAs:

For some Japanese players, autographs are rarely consistent when they sign in English. They just don't have the muscle memory in their hands/finer for a language/alphabet they aren't familiar with.

My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name
He signs his checks with Xs
But they cash em just the same

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the original post referred to the photo that is clearly not Ohtani on the preview of his card.

Penmanship has fallen off a cliff since Griffey retired but there are still a few that take pride in their signature. Below are a few notable ones but sadly they are getting sloppier already after just a few years of signing.
