Shohei Ohtani's three-home run, dazzling pitching performance for Dodgers in Game 4 of NLCS will fuel new debate about sports' greatest performances.

Shohei Ohtani, who is the greatest baseball player ever, has had the greatest regular-season game ever and the greatest postseason game ever and looks capable of having the greatest World Series game ever.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani delivered an all-time great performance in Game 4 of the 2025 National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers and took home the NLCS MVP award.

The Dodgers star could have tried something new to overcome his struggles at the plate but he made the right choice—staying uniquely himself.

And if you're curious, one pitcher in history has ever had a three-homer game in the regular season. It was Jim Tobin of the 1942 Braves. He went 3 for 4 with three homers and four RBI. He threw a complete game, too. He also allowed five runs (three earned), though.

Shohei Ohtani’s otherworldly performance in NLCS Game 4 on Friday left everyone in awe. It was perhaps the greatest game by any player in MLB history.

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.
