For much of this year, the Dodgers didn't expect to see Shohei Ohtani pitching in a big league game until after the All-Star break. But very little about the two-way superstar's buildup on the mound has been conventional,

It marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park’s 25-year history and 171st in all — and 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani has the top-selling MLB jersey for the first half of 2025 season. Teammates Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman also in top four.

The Dodgers will have 12 bobblhead nights in the second half, including two Shohei Ohtani bobbleheads, a Kobe Bryant bobblehead, a Fernando Valenzuela bobblehead and more.

Shohei Ohtani officially holds another Los Angeles Dodgers record. He has hit more home runs before the All-Star break than any player in franchise history. Cody Bellinger previously held the record, having gone deep 30 times before the break in his MVP 2019 season. But on Tuesday night, Ohtani launched his 31st homer of the season.

Jacob Misiorowski, whose fastball routinely tops 100 mph, threw an 88 mph curveball on an 0-2 count to Shohei Ohtani to open Tuesday's game.

Jacob Misiorowski bounced back after allowing a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani by striking out 12 in six innings as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1.

Ohtani was at the plate to open the top of the sixth inning as the Dodgers trailed 7–0. On a 3–2 count, Freddy Peralta threw a changeup that visibly missed low and inside. Barber called it strike three. Ohtani immediately protested, said something, then demonstrably shook his head on the way back to the dugout. It was a rare, justified, outburst.
