Shohei Ohtani hits a two-run home run to left field, his 34th of the season, extending the Dodgers' lead to 3-0 in the 3rd inning

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani hit a home run that landed him among Aaron Judge and Babe Ruth in MLB history.

The Dodgers lost their fifth consecutive game to Milwaukee this season, but Ohtani continued to impress, going 2-for-5 with a home run.

Shohei Ohtani will get the ball on Monday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Minnesota Twins, but he’s still on a short leash. The two-way star is expected to pitch just three innings before handing it over to right-hander Dustin May, according to manager Dave Roberts.

The book is inspired by Ohtani's dog, Decoy, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a game at Dodgers Stadium in August of 2024.

The custom cleats Ohtani wore when he made MLB history last season weren't sold off like so many other items from that game

Injuries may have prevented Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani from throwing from the mound recently, but they haven’t stopped him from coming up with a new pitch: co-writing a children’s book based on his baseball-fetching dog Decoy.

Despite mountains of evidence that Shohei Ohtani can hit with the best hitters in Major League Baseball, and pitch with the game's best pitchers, many have expected the Dodgers star to concentrate exclusively on one or the other at some point in his career.
