After Shohei Ohtani’s Game 4 performance in the 2025 National League Championship Series, in which he was named MVP after a historic and unprecedented showing at the plate and on the mound, many analysts have chimed in to crown the Japanese phenom as the greatest player the game has ever seen.

Dodgers superstar defies description with historic three-homer, 10-strikeout playoff performance that has observers questioning if we'll ever see anyone like him again.

The documentary "Diamond Diplomacy" traces Japanese and American history through the lens of baseball. Shohei Ohtani is among the film's stars.

Once Shohei Ohtani homered for the third time — shortly after wrapping up his six scoreless innings on the mound — the superlatives began in earnest.

Shohei Ohtani's insane Game 4 performance helped the Dodgers advance to the World Series but the NLCS MVP reminded LA that it was a team win.

Shohei Ohtani is arguably the greatest baseball player ever. The Los Angeles Dodgers knew this and signed Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million landmark contract ahead of the 2024 season. While the Dodgers inked a deal with Ohtani that simply was a jaw-dropping amount of money, the two-way star is set to earn only $2 million annually from 2024-2033.

A Dodgers fan caught Shohei Ohtani’s NLCS home run ball, a historic collectible now estimated to be worth millions.

And if you're curious, one pitcher in history has ever had a three-homer game in the regular season. It was Jim Tobin of the 1942 Braves. He went 3 for 4 with three homers and four RBI. He threw a complete game, too. He also allowed five runs (three earned), though.

In a closeout opportunity for the defending champions, Shohei Ohtani took the mound for LA and punched out 10 batters across six-plus scoreless innings of work. At the plate, Ohtani went 3-for-3 with three home runs, one of which left Dodger Stadium and traveled 469 feet according to Statcast.

Star, three-time MVP and a World Series champion but even he can still shock the baseball world with his performance on the field. On Friday, Oct. 17, the Los Angeles Dodgers star threw six scoreless innings while striking out 10 batters and hitting three home runs en route to a 5-0 win as the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers.
