A Dodgers fan caught Shohei Ohtani’s NLCS home run ball, a historic collectible now estimated to be worth millions.
Dodgers superstar defies description with historic three-homer, 10-strikeout playoff performance that has observers questioning if we'll ever see anyone like him again.
Ohtani got the start on the mound in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, and he immediately set the tone for the night. He struck out the side in the top of first, topping out at 100.3 mph on his lively fastball.
Once Shohei Ohtani homered for the third time — shortly after wrapping up his six scoreless innings on the mound — the superlatives began in earnest.
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.
