Shohei Ohtani had another MVP-worthy season in 2024, leading baseball with 54 home runs, 130 RBI, .390 OBP and .646 slugging among other statistical categories. He also stole 59 bases and founded the 50/50 club. On top of all that, when he hits a home run it makes arguably the coolest sound in all of sports.
So it's no surprise that people are excited to see him perform in the postseason. Ohtani delivered in his first-ever playoff appearance, hitting a home run and going 2-for-5 in Game 1 of the NLDS. He was 0-for-4 in Game 2, but people were still very interested in seeing the best hitter in baseball at the plate which is why FS1 is employing a very helpful graphic that pops up from time to time to let viewers know that even thought they don't see Shohei Ohtani, he's still at the ballpark and will be hitting again soon so please don't change the channel.
