Historic Performance by Shohei Ohtani

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani achieved an unprecedented feat in postseason baseball history.

Domination on the Mound

In Game 4 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani took the mound against the Milwaukee Brewers. After walking the first batter, he struck out the next three, completing six shutout innings.

Offensive Explosion

Ohtani not only excelled as a pitcher but also led off the bottom of the first inning for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting a home run into the right field pavilion. This marked the first of three homers he launched that night.

A Financial Investment

Even Babe Ruth never accomplished this feat, showcasing why the Dodgers were eager to sign him for $700 million over 10 years, with most of that amount deferred.

Dominance Recognized

Amazed by the performance, Dodgers owner Mark Walter lauded Ohtani after the Dodgers secured a spot in the World Series by sweeping the Brewers 5-1. “There’s not much more you can ask from a player,” he commented.

Unparalleled Achievement

Ohtani’s pitching performance continued into the seventh inning, leaving the game after 100 pitches with two hits allowed, three walks, and ten strikeouts. He was awarded the series MVP for his exceptional contributions.

Looking Ahead

The Dodgers are set to face either the Seattle Mariners or the Toronto Blue Jays in the upcoming World Series. Meanwhile, the Mariners made significant plays in their game, tying against the Blue Jays and sealing a remarkable comeback to continue their postseason journey.
