Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts expressed his feelings on teams intentionally walking two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani to face him instead. Ohtani led

Shohei Ohtani is among the seven Los Angeles Dodgers who were named as finalists for the 2025 All-MLB Team. Ohtani is joined by Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, Will Smith and Yoshinobu Yamamoto among the list of 115 players.

Former Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said the Phils must game-plan for Ohtani’s elite swing-and-miss stuff.

The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series vs. the Cincinnati Reds. Shohei Ohtani was the star in “Showtime” mode with two home runs including getting things started in the first inning. His wife Mamiko was a star as well with the other Dodgers WAGs. Game 2 for her was no different.

Wondering when Shohei Ohtani might pitch for the Dodgers has been an ongoing question dating back to last postseason. Last year, the two-way star wasn’t really an option considering he hadn’t really progressed much at all in his rehab from 2023 elbow surgery.

Shohei Ohtani's mother is Kayoko Ohtani. She also made her mark as an athlete, earning rave reviews as an amateur badminton player in Japan. She very well could be the most talented athlete in the family. “I can’t beat her in badminton to this day,” Shohei told MLB.com in 2017. “She’s tall and she’s been playing badminton for a long time.”
