It’s crazy to be able to have \[him\] be a good pitcher and, on top of that, be able to produce at the plate. It’s not very common.” - World Series Game 1, presented by Capital One: Friday, time TBA,

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani delivered an all-time great performance in Game 4 of the 2025 National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers and took home the NLCS MVP award.

Shohei Ohtani hasn't contributed much to the Los Angeles Dodgers with his bat during their otherwise impressive playoff run to the brink of the World Series.

Shohei Ohtani, who is the greatest baseball player ever, has had the greatest regular-season game ever and the greatest postseason game ever and looks capable of having the greatest World Series game ever.

The Dodgers star could have tried something new to overcome his struggles at the plate but he made the right choice—staying uniquely himself.

Having not yet finished his second season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani is already providing surplus value to the franchise just 22 months after signing a 10-year, $700 million contract in free agency.

Just when you think you've finally seen it all from Shohei Ohtani, he finds yet another way to make history -- and then another … and another.
