Shohei Ohtani produces a crazy coincidence during NLCS Game 4

A wild coincidence about Ohtani’s home run quickly made the rounds on social media. Ohtani’s homer, a leadoff shot off Quintana in Game 4 of the NLCS on Oct. 17 … was exactly what Ohtani already did last postseason.

Indeed, Ohtani led off Game 4 of the 2024 NLCS with a solo homer off Quintana, who was then pitching for the New York Mets. The Dodgers went on to defeat the Mets in six games and eventually won the World Series too.

Ohtani also drew the start against the Brewers on Friday, striking out for batters over the first three innings. Needless to say, the 31-year-old sensation continues to make history almost every single time that he plays, especially after making a big change earlier this NLCS to help himself shake his recent struggles at the plate.
