Shohei Ohtani, the star player of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been introduced as a character in the popular video game Fortnite, marking him as the first baseball player in the Fortnite Icon Series. His character features two skins: one showcasing his Dodgers uniform in multiple styles and another celebrating his Japanese heritage with a samurai suit. While he has been busy with the Dodgers' recent series, Ohtani expressed interest in playing Fortnite with his uniform skin, highlighting the merger of his baseball career and gaming culture.
Ohtani became the first baseball player to join the Fortnite Icon Series, joining the likes of LeBron James and Patrick Mahomes. Ohtani expressed feeling 'very honored' by this distinction.
When asked about which Fortnite skin he prefers, Ohtani stated, 'Obviously I'm a baseball player, so I'd probably have to choose one of the uniform outfits, whether it's home or away.'
The camaraderie of Fortnite's online multiplayer experience combined with Ohtani’s love for baseball presents a unique blend of sports and gaming, coinciding with his recent achievements.
