Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Wants to Be Two-Way Player ‘As Long As Possible’

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani is putting on quite the performance in 2025.

Ohtani the hitter is hitting .284 with 42 home runs, 78 runs batted in, and an OPS of 1.013 this season. He also has 17 stolen bases.

Ohtani the pitcher is sporting a 2.37 ERA with 25 strikeouts to just five walks across 19 innings of work. He is arguably pitching the best out of all Dodgers starters, though his sample size is small.

While Ohtani’s performance in his second year as a Dodger has been nothing short of spectacular, it remains to be seen how long the superstar can remain both a hitter and pitcher.
