""I think there's no question about it," Friedman said. "Through four innings I texted our Slack thread and said, 'This is the greatest four innings every played in postseason history by a major league player. The greatest four innings ever.' Then he hits another home run. 'The greatest six innings ever. Seven innings.' There's no question it was the greatest postseason performance ever.""
""He woke up this morning with people questioning him and 12 hours later he's standing on the podium as the NLCS MVP. It speaks volumes about the game he had and the talent he has.""
Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-3 with three home runs, three RBIs, and a walk while also pitching six shutout innings and striking out 10 batters in Game 4. The performance resulted in NLCS MVP honors. Ohtani had been batting .158 in the postseason and had not homered since the playoff opener against Cincinnati, but he surged at the crucial moment. The Dodgers advanced to the World Series and stand four wins from repeating as champions, a feat not accomplished since the 1999-2000 Yankees. The World Series opponent will be either Seattle or Toronto; Seattle leads that series 3-2.
