MLB Makes Impressive Shohei Ohtani Announcement Before All-Star Break originally appeared on Athlon Sports. You might be surprised to learn that Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar and three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani is popular these days.

Shohei Ohtani has the top-selling jersey in MLB for the third season in a row, with Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts close behind. Plus, next minor league rehab steps for Blake Treinen and Blake Snell.

Shohei Ohtani's greatness has become almost ordinary, but the fact is that it's evolving year after year. Ohtani was a very good pitcher and hitter early in his career, but his hitting quietly improved until he was a top-two slugger in the game.

Shohei Ohtani has been selected as a starter for the National League at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, representing the Los Angeles Dodgers as a designated hitter.

Shohei Ohtani splashed his 32nd home run of the season into San Francisco’s McCovey Cove, but the Dodgers’ offensive comeback fell just short. Dustin May allowed seven earned runs in the 8-7 loss.

Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings with four strikeouts in his first time pitching against the Giants as part of the rivalry. Including his time with the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani has allowed one run in 15 career innings (0.60 ERA) against San Francisco.

The Dodgers will have 12 bobblhead nights in the second half, including two Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads, a Kobe Bryant bobblehead, a Fernando Valenzuela bobblehead and more.
