Better in Blue? Los Angeles Dodgers Star Shohei Ohtani Off to Historic Start With New Club

Ohtani isn’t just off to the best start of his career, he’s on par with the best starts in MLB history.

Just when you think Shohei Ohtani can’t top himself with his baseball exploits, he proves otherwise. The reigning Most Valuable Player has taken his game to another level after taking his talents from the Angels to the Dodgers.

The 2023 Major League Baseball season saw Ohtani become the first player in league history to win the MVP award by unanimous vote twice after he did so in 2021.
