The 2024 MLB postseason saw a remarkable rise in viewership, significantly linked to the immense popularity of Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers star.
Thanks to Ohtani, the National League Division Series achieved its highest viewership since 2015, with almost 4.1 million tuning in, reflecting an 18.8% increase.
Japanese audiences were particularly drawn to the postseason, with nearly 13 million viewers for Game 5 of the NLDS, showcasing Ohtani's global appeal.
Acknowledging the Japanese fans, Ohtani expressed gratitude, noting the challenge of time differences, but hoped to continue excelling for them throughout the postseason.
