Shohei Ohtani highlights from his FIRST POSTSEASON! (2024 World Champion) | 大谷翔平ハイライト

[@savageruss0354]

People say he didn’t do anything in the WS, but fail to realize had he not hit that 3-run bomb in Game 1 against the Pads we don’t even advance. Because of that Homer started that whole run

[@Cliffem82]

Also he covered Mookie and Freeman's absence during the regular season

[@reekz5320]

Yeah, we remember the Dodgers was 1 game away to not even play NLCS

[@willywonka4340]

Doc did say "all hands on deck" for the postseason = no one player will make the team go all the way. Everyone played their part.

[@Maxtor-ve5nu]

Baseball is a team sport. It's the peak definition of a long team journey. Shohei carried the Dodgers through regular season, and then his team continued the rest of the way. This is what Shohei always needed, this is why the journey was completed.

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

This was a TEAM win!! Each player has struggled at different times and contributed at different times. Again, they don't win without each player stepping up along the way.

[@leonkincoln-dp8vs]

The most crucial part his prevention of sweep by the padres

[@りっぷ-b9b]

The match against the Padres was the de facto final. Ohtani's three-run home run in Game 1 was a valuable shot that gave the Dodgers courage.

[@koningklootzak7788]

Without Ohtani's MVP performance throughout the season, Dodgers wouldn't have been the champion. Thank you Ohtani!

[@Alucard400]

He contributed to the home field advantage with all those wins in the regular season.

[@BenDover-vs7ih]

100% agree. Even though he didn't have a great World Series Dodgers wouldn't be where they are without Shotime.

[@ravin-yw1vj]

Remember Ohtani also finished the regular season hitting .628/.667/1.186 with seven home runs six doubles, 10 stolen bases, 15 runs and 22 RBIs in his final 10 games of the regular season.

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

Plus we don't get passed the Padres without Shohei. EVERY player contributed during the season and in the playoffs at differnt times. This was a TEAM win!

[@koningklootzak7788]

@JoshuaMartian-go3tm Yes! Thanks to Ohtani

[@Kotaro1326]

I don’t think most people realize how important Shohei Ohtani is to the Dodgers. People who says that Shohei Ohtani is not needed for the Dodgers to win the World Series against the Yankees has very little if any idea at all of what Ohtani brings to the game of baseball. First, there is the financial and ratings aspect but that’s a whole different topic by itself. Shohei Ohtani has a big psychological factor when he’s in the game. He not only uplifts, boost his team’s morale, and provides confidence for them but he also instill fear into his opponent as well. In game 3 of the World Series, even with a shoulder injury and all, the starting pitcher of the Yankees still threw 4 straight balls at Ohtani in the very first at bat of the first inning that led to a score. The Yankees has a game plan just to contain Ohtani. Even if he goes 0 for 42 in a seven game series Ohtani is still mighty important. No team will walk a player to let Ohtani bat as we had seen numerous times with Aaron Judge. This is the player that we have seen on numerous occasions during the regular season that was walked on numerous occasions to let Mookie Betts bat instead. Game 1 in both the Padres series and this World Series with the Yankees is basically a win or go home game. Without Ohtani’s 3 run homer in game 1 against the Padres, the Dodgers would most likely be swept 3-0 by the Padres and there would be no game 4 and game 5 for the Dodgers pitchers (especially it’s bullpen) to shine and see Freeman hit his historic grand slam. With the latter against the Yankees, Ohtani was the catalyst and the driving force in winning game 1 when he hit that triple against the wall to allow Freeman to have a chance to hit his historic grand slam. Otherwise, the Dodgers would most likely lose game 1 to the Yankees and this World Series would be a very different World Series with the Yankees coming into L.A. being up 3-2 or they might have won it all in New York.

[@andrews68]

I was watching game1 as one of a only a few Dodgers fans in a bar in San Diego full of Padres fans lol the look on their faces when he hit the 3run like oh yeah… LAs got HIM on their side lol

[@BenDover-vs7ih]

💯% agree

[@Kotaro1326]

Without that 3 run homer by Ohtani it would be a repeat of last year’s Divisional Series.

[@The40Glock1]

😂😂😂

[@14_hasegawa]

In fact, Ohtani also played a big role in the WS. No pitcher could throw the ball easily when he was at the plate. He hit even though he had a shoulder injury. He also got a walk. He did his part in the shoulder injury.

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

His walk wasn't a battle against a pitcher that he won. That pitcher was just having control problems.

[@audacieuxx]

He got Dodgers to the world series so no one can blame him in ws. looking forward for pitcher shohei next year!

[@ibradpitt]

Yeah, it’s all about teamwork. 🎉

[@TheInfluuence]

Can’t wait to see this team get him his no hitter 😎

[@khamla616]

He played pretty good to me for most of the post season

[@encabsss]

Exactly! When Mookie and Freeman were injured during regular season, he was stepping up to the plate.

[@Pablo44528]

Don’t matter if we make it only matters if we win

[@allennixon4745]

Yankee fan here sad that we didn’t win but really happy for Shohei Ohtani He deserved this World Series win. If we had to lose to somebody, It would definitely be him. Congrats to Dodgers.

[@mattsnider2667]

Ohtani was amazing in an unprecedented way during the regular season, and still had some huge moments during the postseason even if the overall numbers weren't standout. Indeed, the Dodgers might have lost the NLDS without his 3-run homer in game 1. And then he inspired the whole team by playing through injury in the World Series and making the Yankees adjust their pitching based on his continued power-threat at the plate. He's already a legend, and this postseason run just adds to that. Go Shohei, Go Dodgers!

@JuMa-m9ium not true many of our underdogs carried in the nlcs like Tommy edman and max muncy we wouldn’t of made it to the WS without them

[@BenDover-vs7ih]

​@JuMa-m9i Exactly!!! Couldn't agree more. Just his presence changed everything for the Dodgers. They don't get past the Padres without Shotime.

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

Inspired the team? Wow that's some hyperbole there for sure. He's a big fat overpaid strike out king who can't even slide properly without hurting himself.

[@TheHammer70]

He had a good game one in the world Series. Then he got injured.

[@camctrail]

18 for 23 with runners in scoring position in the postseason. That is legitimately unbelievable

[@bananaore7]

Although he was injured in the WS, it is no exaggeration to say that Dodgers' victory would not have been possible without Ohtani. ① Legendary series, first ever 54/59, first DH WAR 9.1 and MVP. It is no exaggeration to say that the division championship and highest winning percentage (home advantage acquisition) were all thanks to him. ② First game of the DS, a three-run home run that saved the team. After giving up three runs in the first inning, the team and fans were depressed, thinking "Ah, we're going to lose again this year," but he saved them with just one hit. This is exactly where the Dodgers PS began. ③ NLCS, against Mets. He recorded a new team record of 17 on base in the NLCS. He made his presence felt even without swinging the bat, and earned many walks. He also hit a three-run home run and a leadoff home run, and was an undeniable performance. ④ WS, against Yankees. Freeman's grand slam in the first game was impressive, but without Ohtani's double in the bottom of the eighth inning (a great base run in which he stole third base after an error by the other team), that home run by Freeman may not have happened. His double in the eighth inning saved the team. After that, he injured his shoulder in the second game, but he was so intimidating to the opposing pitcher that he was able to get on base even with a walk or a hit by pitch. And throughout all the games, he was constantly moving the opposing bullpen, which was one of his less visible but great contributions.

23年ぶりのシーズン400塁打を忘れてる

[@DanielSanchez-ic6yv]

Yes ohtani struggled against the Yankees . But look how quick we forget how important and how much he contributed in the WS. We don’t win without him. Ohtani went cold but freeman got hot! What a team win the World Series was for the Dodgers . 🎉

[@蔵前鈍次郎]

I have totally forgotten what he done in post season. He shot so many HR and cluch hits just before the WS. Now I realized that he is really important for Dodgers!

[@ravin-yw1vj]

Remember Ohtani also finished the regular season hitting .628/.667/1.186 with seven home runs six doubles, 10 stolen bases, 15 runs and 22 RBIs in his final 10 games of the season.

Hello, do you know if Churu is a Japanese brand? I see an ad for it in the stadium. As far as I know, all cats love Churu 🐈

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

So what if Ohtani didn’t shine in the World Series? In the regular season, when Betts was injured and Freeman was out, who was it that carried the Dodgers? Ohtani’s WP and cWP were both the highest in MLB, ahead of Judge, proving just how much he held the team together. When the Dodgers were down 0-3 in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Padres, Ohtani hit a game-tying three-run homer, showing not only other teams but his own teammates that “this year’s Dodgers are different.” From that point on, Betts and Freeman, who had struggled in past postseasons, started hitting too. Ohtani also set an unusual record of consistently hitting only when teammates were on base, coming through for the team in the NLDS and NLCS. Then, when he partially dislocated his shoulder in Game 2 of the World Series, the Dodgers dugout-and all of Dodger Stadium-fell silent, showing just how crucial he was to the team. While he had to delay his trip to New York for further examination, he kept morale up, messaging his teammates, “Remember, we still won when Bellinger dislocated his shoulder.” He then forced himself back into the series, playing through the pain with injections. Did he really do “nothing”? Even if he couldn’t swing fully, he drew walks, trying to get on base, and the Yankees burned through bullpen pitchers just trying to keep him off. There’s no question that Freeman deserved the WS MVP, but he only finished what Ohtani had set up. The Dodgers honored Ohtani’s sacrifice. Judging him by WS stats alone misses the full season’s story-something every Dodgers fan understands.

Ohtani carried the Dodgers to the World Series, hit a 3 run HR against the Padres also in game 3 against the Mets he hit a 3 run HR, the next day had a 1st inning HR in game 4, Ohtani hit .365 in NLCS and through the postseason he was 18 for 23 in RISP. In the World Series had a triple scored the tying run that led to Freemans HR. In game 2 he got injured but still willing to play, a heart of a Lion. In his first season with the Dodgers he help win a Championship🏆

[@Kotaro1326]

I am puzzled by those who says that Shohei Ohtani didn’t contribute much if anything at all to the Dodgers winning the World Series. Do they even follow the postseason...like actually watching it? Shohei Ohtani is the single biggest reason why the Dodgers are even playing in the World Series, let alone winning it. If anything, Shohei Ohtani is not given nearly enough credit for helping the Dodgers to win the World Series.

[@chinitopinoy1726]

People that are saying he didn't do anything in post season should watch this. lol Yes, i understand his WS performance was a bit lacking, but without his previous two series performance, the Dodgers would not even be there. He will do better next year in the WS series.

[@panchopantera2085]

The first postseason HR was the key for Dodgers road to the championship, his HR ignited the Team and the fans, it gave us that spark of belief not everybody in Dodgers uniform had a great WS but his presence alone just like Kershaw’s, Glasnow’s and all the injured players who couldn’t play was important throughout the postseason, he will shine even brighter cause he’ll be pitching and batting next postseason 🔥🥷🏽 haters keep hating is ok, but nobody will take away the fact that in his first postseason appearance he became a CHAMPION 🏆 Ohtani is the 🦄 🐐
