The Dodgers star has made headlines this week
Shohei Ohtani continues to dazzle sports fans with his incredible performances for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season.
The Japanese ace was on fire all game during a recent win over the Miami Marlins, delivering one of the greatest performances MLB has seen from the plate.
When it was all said and done, Ohtani finished the game six for six with 10 RBIs, along with three HRs and two steals, becoming the first big league player to hit three homers and steal two bases in a game.
The performance also saw him become the first ever player with at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season.
