At 4-0, the Los Angeles Dodgers are off to the best start by a defending World Series champion since the Detroit Tigers won their first six games in 1985. The Dodgers have done that without having Shohei Ohtani the pitcher.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Japanese superstar “has to be worried” following his White House visit decision, according to a new report.

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers are again on top of the jersey sales leaderboard to start the 2025 regular season, according to data released by MLB on Monday. As expected, Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts all land among the top-five in jersey sales following the franchise’s eighth World Series win in 2024.

Shohei Ohtani jerseys continue to fly off the shelves after the Japanese star helped the Dodgers to a World Series title last year with his global popularity showing no sign of cooling.

Shohei Ohtani has another win to add to his stockpile. After winning the World Series and his third league MVP award, the Los Angeles Dodgers star now has the world's most popular Major League Baseball jersey.

Shohei Ohtani threw his first bullpen session in a month on Saturday, but the reigning NL MVP still has plenty of work to do before he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
