Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and his agent Nez Balelo have settled a lawsuit connected to a $240 million luxury housing development project in Hawaii, according to court documents.

The settlement resolves the legal dispute as Ohtani prepares for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, where he is expected to represent Japan. Details of the settlement terms were not disclosed in the filing.

The lawsuit involved a high-end residential development project in Hawaii, though specific details about the nature of the legal dispute or Ohtani's role in the development were not made public. The case had been ongoing as Ohtani completed his first season with the Dodgers after signing a record-breaking contract.

Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers, has been one of baseball's biggest stars as both a pitcher and designated hitter. The resolution of the legal matter clears potential distractions as he focuses on international competition and the upcoming MLB season.

The World Baseball Classic represents a major international tournament where players compete for their home countries, drawing top talent from Major League Baseball and leagues around the world.
