Los Angeles Dodgers star hitter and starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani completed one of the most improbable postseason runs ever as he continues to build a strong résumé as one of the MLB's best players ever.
Ohtani was simply unreal on the way to winning a second straight World Series title — putting together what is widely-regarded as the greatest performance in MLB playoff history in Game 4 of the NLCS.
The 4-time MVP became the first player in MLB history to hit three home runs at the plate and record 10 strikeouts as a pitcher, throwing six scoreless innings en route to securing a berth in the World Series.
Prior to his MLB debut in 2018, it wasn’t a thought that a player could dominate as a hitter and pitcher but Ohtani has done just that, and now his accolades are starting to stack up against the all-time greats.
There is still a long way to go for him to truly be considered the best player in MLB history but it's not hyperbolic to think Ohtani could hold that honor after his once-in-a-lifetime career is all said and done.
