"Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani started his own charity foundation as a way to support children and protect animals. The Shohei Ohtani Family Foundation's main mission is to "create healthier, happier communities by funding initiatives that inspire children to stay active and live well, and by supporting programs that rescue, protect, and care for animals in need." The organization's logo features silhouettes of Ohtani, his wife Mamiko, their daughter and pet dog Decoy."
"Ohtani returned to pitching this year and was methodically built up to reach the Dodgers' targeted goal of six innings by the end of the regular season. He went 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA, 1.90 FIP, 1.04 WHIP and 11.9 strikeouts per nine in 47 innings across 14 starts. Ohtani then posted a 2-1 record with a 4.43 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 12.4 strikeouts per nine in 20.1 innings across four starts in the postseason."

Ohtani joins other Dodgers players with foundations, including Mookie Betts and Clayton Kershaw, while the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation gives to underserved communities. Ohtani previously donated baseball gloves in Japan and contributed funds to Southern California wildfire relief. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes suggested Ohtani could follow a normal pitching schedule in 2026, with the team likely providing extra rest when possible.
