Shohei Ohtani had what many consider to be the best game in MLB history on Friday, but the Los Angeles Dodgers star has some competition. Ohtani hit three home runs and pitched six scoreless innings in the Dodgers’ 5-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles,

Star, three-time MVP and a World Series champion but even he can still shock the baseball world with his performance on the field. On Friday, Oct. 17, the Los Angeles Dodgers star threw six scoreless innings while striking out 10 batters and hitting three home runs en route to a 5-0 win as the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers.

Having not yet finished his second season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani is already providing surplus value to the franchise just 22 months after signing a 10-year, $700 million contract in free agency.

In Game 4 of the NLCS, with his team already up 3-0 on the series, Ohtani reached his apex as a two-way player with three homers at the plate and 10 strikeouts in six scoreless innings. Unprecedented doesn't begin to describe what he just did in a delirious night at Chavez Ravine.

How did the Dodgers get this great? Sure, they spent a record $400 million ($550M counting the tax), but even better, they spent the big bucks on the best players.

Shohei Ohtani is in a significant slump at the plate this October. The three-time MVP hasn't contributed much to the Los Angeles Dodgers with his bat during their otherwise impressive playoff run to the brink of another World Series.

From baseball boot camp for interpreters to the team’s director of Japanese player operations and strategy, L.A. goes to great lengths to maximize the talents of its Japanese players.
