Shohei Ohtani's Historic First Season With the Dodgers!

[@DakDirty76]

A 9 WAR season at DH is completely insane

[@Nanazane77]

Not to mention Ohtani was that close to the triple crown!

[@Zagirus]

*Ohtani's legendary Records with the Dodgers:* - Set the franchise record for most home runs in a single season with 54 home runs - Achieved a 9.2 Offensive bWAR, the highest in Dodgers' history, surpassing Mike Piazza’s 9.0 mark in 1997 - Holds the franchise record for most RBIs in a single game with 10 RBIs (in the game he went 6-for-6 with 3 home runs, 5 XBH and 2 stolen bases) - Most XBH by a LA Dodger (99) - Recorded 10 straight games with an RBI - 411 total bases, setting a LA Dodgers record, surpassing Adrián Beltré’s 376 total bases in 2004 - Hit the most home runs in a single season at Dodgers' home games with 28 home runs - Achieved a 190 OPS+, the highest in a qualified season in Dodgers history, surpassing Mike Piazza’s 185 OPS+ in 1997 - Set a Dodgers record with 134 runs scored, leading the majors in this category - Posted a .646 slugging percentage, leading the NL and setting a new Dodgers record, surpassing Gary Sheffield’s .643 mark in 2000 - Led the Dodgers in all offensive categories in a single season Well deserved unanimous MVP.

His season, and he Dodgers was totally magical. The only thing that is bad and getting to me is it's so long till next season. That last month or so when you are hanging on every pitch-NFL and NBA- don't seem to have the meaning they used too. It just seems to be so over hyped and artificial in comparison.

MVP Shohei!!!! If it’s not obvious year one grade is A+++++ and even without pitching he still had historic year can’t wait to see him hitting again and pitching next year in dodger blue!!

[@ritaloy8338]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

[@jaedo6180]

Shohei dedicated his life to baseball. No way in hell he would he throw it away in gambling.

[@wampabites]

1st Shohei MVP: alone 2nd Shohei MVP: him & Decoy 3rd Shohei MVP: him, Mamiko & Decoy 4th Shohei MVP: him, Mamiko, Decoy & 1st baby ... 12th Shohei MVP: him, Mamiko, Decoy & 8 kids 🫡

[@chenggang1656]

😂😂

[@LdjRubsSJmAmXrP-e5l]

Can't wait to see Shohei Jr. playing in the field

[@Nanazane77]

As much as I agree that both Ohtani and Mamiko’s good genes ought to be preserved, yet you are making Mamiko basically a baby making machine 😂

[@死神-j9v]

imagine their 8 kids each making $1B (inflation adjusted) or more...

[@irisk934]

MVP x 3, more to come!

[@WanderingWolf365]

The guy can't even pitch and he wins MVP as a DH. - WW

[@NuFo]

MVP 🏆

[@alysdancestudio6470]

MVP

[@otadashi1570]

Thank you. I was saying that all along. No late game home run in game 1 and it could have changed everything. It was massively huge.

[@ObLA876]

MVP!🎉

[@Cashmoneez]

If he carried in the World Series he would be the greatest of all time no debate. Instead he’s just the heavy favorite lol. But he had an incredible regular season carrying a team with a lot of injuries to the most wins in the league. Had 2 good postseason series and a mediocre World Series in his first postseason ever on a new team. Give him time and he will get there bc let’s not act like the dodgers won’t be back in the playoff and ohtani gonna give it his all as long as his body will let him

[@nrox1051]

Congrats Shohei 3x unanimous MVPs. Second player in history to win AL and NL MVPs.

[@ramcisvillarey5816]

and also 2023 World Baseball Classic MVP😂

[@ttman1233]

Will probably be the first to win multiple MVPs in both leagues.

[@koningklootzak7788]

Well spoken. Very fair and accurate.

[@fated316]

A plus for the freaking goat.

[@LC-jg7mw]

He helped us get there d-Mac , c’mon

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

This some S tier season for shohei.

[@craigosterberg5045]

MVP MVP

[@ttman1233]

Dear Santa, what I want this Xmas: to have Shohei back on the mound and go 11-4 in 25 or so starts with a sub 3 ERA, hit 40 homers and steal 25 bases in '25. I know it's not much of a stretch, because he might do it anyway. 😀🤯

[@linhe3919]

The greatest Sho🦄💙🤴🥳🏆🍾🎉

[@LamarFaciane]

Shohei carried the Dodgers while Freeman was out and Mookie broke his hand.

[@LL-tc1re]

And Muncy was out for a while

[@Launi-g3v]

Dodgers doesn't make it to the World Series without #17

[@TBird89]

Big shout out to the owners group for opening their wallets and bringing over the now NL MVP 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@wzrdmgk562]

Anybody who is disappointed in Ohtanis performance in the playoffs need to rewatch the NLDS

[@CHOCOLEETANG08]

Mvp mvp

[@julieklyman4591]

Go Dodgers

[@MagicWithBigPapo]

An automatic A+++++++

[@kaoriokaguchi9959]

I'm glad you mentioned Ippei scandal. What a start for Shohei at Dodgers! However, he has proven himself truly innocent by his great performance. It seems like nobody remembers that many people doubted him and called him a cheater. We now know that nothing can stop him from being great. I can't wait to see him pitch again.

[@omgbygollywow]

Grad for Ohtani: A+ Duh.

[@omgbygollywow]

If Roki Sasaki comes to the Dodgers, I think it's very reasonable to expect 5 or 6 championships by the time he retires.

[@Cahluvca]

💯

[@omgbygollywow]

Shohei responsible for L.A. winning this championship. Without him coming to the Dodgers, Yamamoto would not have come. Shohei carried the Dodgers for most of the year when everyone else was injured. No way they get past San Diego without him.

[@melissaburks8861]

He deserved the MVP and I love Shohei but it wasn't his World Series. He was part of an ensemble that contributed. If Shohei could do it all by himself then the Angels would have done it, right?

[@djrythm7312]

THEY SAID WE DID NOT HAVE STARTING PITCHERS YET WE WON CUZ IT A TEAM GAME AND ALL 12 PITCHERS WHERE MVP INCLUDING HONEYWELL HE EAT UP INNINGS GIVING UP 5.RUNS BUT WE DID NOT HAVE.TO.WASTE ARM AND CUZ OF THAT WE WON. LOOK AT DA YANKEES WHEN I SAW WEAVER PITCH 2 INNING I KNEW HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIS BEST STUFF DA NEXT GAME AND HE WAS LIGHTS OUT FOR DA YANKEES

[@satoshih-iv3zo]

As a Shohei fan, I started to feel that during the regular season, they talked too much about Shohei. I'm sure Shohei felt the same. A team player worries about teammates. World Series was perfect.

[@omgbygollywow]

[@joecommentator320]

Did Judge have a better post season?

[@brianyakata1978]

And the 40/40 club has a few questionable players. Close to half the players were implicated with roids during their careers.

Since I see Snell playing games all day, I think it would be better not to buy it. Looking at the savant data, it seems expensive, but I wish he would go to another team for the higher price.
