Shohei Ohtani extends recent HR tear as Dodgers dominate World Series rematch

Ohtani then smacked a two-run bomb on Sunday, helping Los Angeles claim a road sweep over the Nationals before his most recent dinger on Monday. 

Overall, as a hitter, Ohtani, 31, is hitting .282 with three home runs, seven RBI, seven walks and a 388 OBP while slugging .538 in 39 at-bats. He's to steal a base this season after claiming 20 in 2025 and owning 165 in total. 

Ohtani is also 1-0 as a pitcher this season

But when it comes to baseball's unicorn, that's only one side of his game. Ohtani is also 1-0 as a pitcher, blanking the Cleveland Guardians on March 31. He recorded six strikeouts and walked three batters in his first start of the season. 

Already having established himself as a future Hall of Famer and the most unique player in baseball history, especially for the modern era, Ohtani is in the midst of his ninth MLB season and third with the Dodgers. 

Ohtani already has a case as the greatest baseball player of all-time

To this point, his resume includes 283 home runs, 676 RBI, 1,061 hits, a .282 career batting average, a .375 OBP and a .582 slugging mark as a hitter. As a pitcher, he's 40-20 in 101 games with a cumulative 2.96 ERA, 676 strikeouts and a 1.07 WHIP. He even became MLB's first and only member of the 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases club when he sent 54 balls over the fence and stole 59 bases in 2024. 

In addition to his four MVP awards (three in the National League with the Dodgers and one in the American League with the Angels), Ohtani is a five-time All-Star and has led the Dodgers to back-to-back World Series titles. In the postseason, he has 11 home runs, 24 RBI and 29 walks in 33 games.
