Shohei Ohtani — 2026 Season Highlights

As of 10/1, Shohei Ohtani is active for the Dodgers and delivering as a true two-way player this season. His hitting is a step below last year's historic home run pace, but he still brings real power and on-base ability to the middle of the lineup. On the mound, his workload has grown considerably from last year, and his run prevention and baserunner numbers are excellent as a front-line starter. This adds to a résumé that includes four unanimous MVP awards and back-to-back World Series titles in 2024 and 2025.

  • 1This season he has anchored the rotation as a starter, with a much heavier workload on the mound than last year. His run prevention and WHIP are excellent, and he still hits with power and gets on base, although his hitting is more subdued than last year's extraordinary home run pace.
  • 2He holds the record for most unanimous MVP awards, having won four, all by unanimous vote. His résumé also includes a historic home run and stolen base double in 2024, back-to-back World Series titles in 2024 and 2025, and the 2023 WBC title and MVP award.
  • 3The thing to watch is whether he can keep up elite two-way production. His steadiness as a starter and his power as a middle-of-the-order bat will both matter as the season moves into its final stretch.

wRC+ Quick Cards (Park-Adjusted Proxies)

wRC+ is not exposed by the MLB Stats API, so we surface the two closest proxies for an instant read on hitting quality.

About wRC+ — How OPS+ / xwOBA compare▾

wRC+ scales overall offense to 100 = league average, adjusting for park factors and league context. Because the MLB Stats API does not expose wRC+ directly, we display the two closest proxies: OPS+ (OPS divided by the MLB average .720) and xwOBA (expected wOBA derived from exit velocity and launch angle). OPS+ 100 is league average; 130+ is roughly equivalent to an All-Star caliber wRC+ 130, and 150+ approaches MVP territory. xwOBA averages around .320; anything north of .400 marks elite contact quality.
