Shohei Ohtani cemented his legacy as one of baseball’s all-time greats with a historic performance that propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series. The defending champions secured a commanding 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, sweeping the series 4-0. Ohtani, the Japanese phenom, delivered a masterclass by smashing three home runs and striking out 10 batters, a feat never before achieved in Major League Baseball’s postseason history. His dominance with both bat and ball underscored his unparalleled talent. Ohtani also became the first pitcher since Jim Tobin in 1942 to hit three home runs in a single game. Reflecting on his performance, Ohtani said, ‘It was really fun on both sides of the ball today.’ He dedicated the win to his team and fans worldwide, expressing hope that everyone could celebrate with a glass of sake. The Dodgers now await their World Series opponent, either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Seattle Mariners, as they aim for another championship title.
