"Since joining L.A., Ohtani has set himself apart as the clear best player in the National League. He has won back-to-back unanimous MVP awards since joining the Dodgers, and became the second player to win more than three in 2025. In addition to the MVPs, he has made both of the last two All-Star Games and won consecutive Silver Sluggers with the Dodgers."
"In his first season with the Dodgers, Ohtani led the National League with 54 homers and 130 RBIs. He had just as good of a season in 2025, hitting 55 homers with 102 RBIs. He slashed .296/.391/.634 during his first two seasons with the Dodgers, giving him a lifetime 1.025 OPS with the team. Ohtani has also returned to pitching since joining the Dodgers, and returned to form after gradually working his way into longer outings. The reigning MVP posted a 2.87 ERA through 14 starts in 2025, striking out 62 batters in 47 innings pitched."
""I don't think about it too much," Ohtani said. "However I do hope when I retire and I look back, I can be able to say that I was on that team that won three championships in a row. That would be very cool.""
Shohei Ohtani said he does not dwell on a 2026 three-peat but hopes to be able to say he was on a team that won three consecutive championships. Since joining the Dodgers, Ohtani has been the National League’s premier player, earning back-to-back unanimous MVPs, All-Star selections and consecutive Silver Sluggers. He hit 54 homers and 130 RBIs in his first Dodgers season, followed by 55 homers and 102 RBIs in 2025, slashing .296/.391/.634 for a 1.025 OPS. Ohtani also resumed pitching, posting a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 47 innings in 2025.
