Although he won the 2024 National League MVP award and helped the Dodgers win the World Series, Shohei Ohtani had only given the Dodgers half of their expected return on investment — until now.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made MLB history in Saturday's win over the San Francisco Giants, as he reached 25+ home runs, 10+ stolen bases, and 5+ triples before July for the second time in his career.
Interestingly, the home runs come after the longest home run drought for Ohtani with the Dodgers. He had gone 10 games without a long ball. The last time that happened for him came in 2023 with the Angels .
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is among 12 active Japanese MLB players that will be celebrated with custom manhole covers in Japan.
