While the Los Angeles Lakers begin the 2025-26 season this week, the sports world can’t stop talking about Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani led the Dodgers to a four-game sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS, pitching six shoutout innings with 10 strikeouts to go along with three solo home runs. Ohtani set several new records in his dominating performance, highlighting him as the best player in baseball.
Prior to his Game 4 breakout, Ohtani had largely struggled at the plate but he answered the call. The Dodgers will now attempt to become the first team in 25 years to repeat as champions, with Ohtani showing what he can do on the biggest stage.
