Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700M deal — the largest in North American pro sports history — with the Dodgers after the 2023 season. His primary goal was winning the World Series, and the Dodgers' resources, organizational depth, and championship culture made them his top choice. He delivered back-to-back World Series titles in 2024 and 2025, validating the decision immediately.

Ohtani has won 4 MVP awards (2021, 2023, 2024, 2025) — every single one by unanimous vote. He is the only player in MLB history to win multiple unanimous MVPs, and his four unanimous selections are the most ever (Baseball Reference, MLB.com). His four total MVPs place him second all-time, trailing only Barry Bonds (7). Career-defining records include the first-ever 50 HR + 50 SB season (2024), and a full return to pitching in 2025 while still hitting 50+ home runs. He has also won 3 Hank Aaron Awards, 5 Edgar Martínez Awards, 4 Silver Sluggers, and back-to-back World Series titles.

Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700M contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers beginning in 2024 — the largest deal in North American professional sports history. At his own request, the majority of his salary (approximately $68M per year) is deferred until after the contract ends in 2034, which allows the Dodgers to maintain payroll flexibility and continue signing elite supporting players.

Ohtani is the only player in MLB history to function as a true two-way player — pitching as a starter and batting in the lineup on a regular basis. As a pitcher, he features a four-seam fastball exceeding 102 mph, a sweeper, splitter, and curveball. As a hitter, he generates elite exit velocity and distance from the left side. The MLB even modified its rules (the "Ohtani Rule") to accommodate his two-way status, a first in the sport's modern history.

Ohtani was drafted by the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in 2013 and won the NPB MVP in 2016 with an extraordinary two-way season: .322 AVG, 22 HR as a hitter, and 10 wins with a 1.86 ERA as a pitcher. Over 5 NPB seasons, he compiled a .286 batting average, 48 home runs, and 42 pitching wins before posting to MLB via the posting system, signing with the Los Angeles Angels in 2018. He also led Japan to the 2023 WBC title and was named tournament MVP.
