Displaying Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani’s dominance in 17 startling statistics

Ohtani

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani decided six years ago he was heading to the United States and Major League Baseball with one prevailing goal: win the World Series.

Ohtani and the Dodgers are the favorites to claim the 2024 World Series and the likely National League MVP is driving many of those opinions.

“I really feel like we finally arrived, I finally arrived at this stage,” Ohtani said as the Dodgers stomped past the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series. “A lot of the games we played were really tough and hard to win. And it was truly a team effort to get here.”

Team effort, sure. But at the top of the lineup and the No. 1 reason the Dodgers are on the doorstep of the title is No. 17.

Here are the 17 most telling numbers behind the success of Ohtani and the Dodgers courtesy of Inside Edge:
