We may have witnessed – in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS – the greatest performance in a major league baseball game by a single player.
Shohei Ohtani won the MVP award (after being introduced as "the greatest baseball player on the planet") largely because of his unprecedented performance in the Dodgers' pennant-winning 5-1 victory on Friday night in Los Angeles, finishing off a dominating sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers (who had won all six of the games the two teams played during the season).
Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, allowing only two hits and walking three.
