Ohtani is obviously one of the best offensive players in the league. He won MVP last season, deservedly so, while serving only as a designated hitter. That's how valuable he is on offense. And the thought process behind him being so far ahead in MVP discussions this season is that he's taking that offensive value and adding back the pitching side.

The custom cleats Ohtani wore when he made MLB history last season weren't sold off like so many other items from that game

The three-time Cy Young Award winner offered high praise for Ohtani's mastery of the craft of pitching: 'I don’t think I could do that'

The Dodgers and the Yankees met in the 2024 World Series in what should have been a competitive contest, if not for the fifth inning in Game 5, when an uncommon Judge error kicked off a parade of blunders for New York.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow made his usual Monday appearance on KNBR’s “ Murph and Markus ” morning show and broke down the rivalry weekend, which saw the Dodgers take two of the three games against the Giants. But on Saturday, the Giants gave out a Bonds bobblehead to 20,000 fans, leading to an unexpected postgame moment.

One of the most feared hitters in the game, the three-time league MVP is easing back into pitching while amazing his teammates with his preparation and ability to juggle both roles.

Every major leaguer has a moment when he realizes that playing in the pros is different than high school, college and the minor leagues.

Shohei Ohtani isn't leading MLB in home runs at the All-Star break -- Who does, you ask? That would be Cal Raleigh, who is in the field -- but he is third in the majors at 32 homers. So: why isn't he in the 2025 Home Run Derby, set to start on Monday night at Truist Field in Atlanta?

If Shohei Ohtani focused exclusively on pitching, in John Smoltz's mind, there'd be no one better at it in MLB.
