Ohtani rewrites MLB history as pitcher-hitter phenom
I knew Ohtani was a great player. But not to this extent. On the 18th of last month (Korean time), Shohei Ohtani (31, born in 1994) pitched 6 innings with no runs allowed and 10 strikeouts as a starting pitcher in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Miguel Rojas didn't just breathe new life into the Dodgers' championship hopes with his home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday.

When there's a power outage, you call Schwarber to get the lights back on. The left-handed hitting slugger has overwhelming power, exemplified by his hitting 56 home runs this season and ranking in the top three percent of MLB in average exit velocity in each of the last two seasons.
Could the World Series begin with a home run? There will be plenty of power in the leadoff spot on Friday night at Rogers Centre, thanks to Shohei Ohtani and George Springer. The pair combined for 87 regular-season home runs in 2025.
