LA Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani has just won the World Series championship. This is his second consecutive title, having also won it in the previous season. After his dominant run, where does Ohtani rank in baseball all-time greats?

Historic season

This season, the three-time MVP led the Los Angeles Dodgers back to World Series back-to-back. Ohtani and company defeating the Milwaukee Brewers easily with a 4-0 sweep. However, in front of the home crowd, Ohtani stole the spotlight in Game 4, overshadowing the sweep victory.

In that game, he hit three home runs and struck out ten opposing batters. These statistics are remarkable, considering that no player in MLB playoff history has ever done that before. On top of that, his performance in Game 4 was described as exactly what the greatest athletes should have done.

‘Shotime’ historic season also ended in a perfect way, as he won the World Series. His team, Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a 4-3 tight margin of final score. Ohtani finished the 2025 season leading the league with 146 runs scored, 380 total bases, and 89 extra-base hits.

What’s left for Ohtani’s legacy?

After his historic run, the baseball world would be guilty if not including Shohei Ohtani in the GOAT discussion. The 31-year-old Japanese pitcher now should be in the same category with Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, and Barry Bonds.

This argument can’t go wrong, as Ohtani accolades speaks for themselves. He was already a 2x World Series champion, 3x MVP, 5× All-Star, 5x All-MLB First Team, and ALB Rookie of The Year. Moreover, Ohtani also won 3× Silver Slugger Award, 2x Hank Aaron Award, and 2× Home run leader.

”Friendly reminder, Ohtani did all of these incredible feats in just seven MLB seasons. Yet, he’s not done, Ohtani is already eyeing for the three-peat next season.”

Do you think Shohei Ohtani just ended the GOAT discussion?
