Shohei Ohtani - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Another leadoff homer in loss Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact After blasting a leadoff homer Saturday, Ohtani did it again Sunday, cranking Jacob deGrom's first-pitch fastball over the right-field wall. After going homerless through his first six games, Ohtani has launched five over his past nine contests and recorded five multi-hit efforts during that span. The two-way star is off to a strong start at the plate overall, posting a .996 OPS through 73 plate appearances in 2026.

Leads off win with homer Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-3 victory versus Texas on Saturday.

Impact After the Rangers' Brandon Nimmo led off the game with a homer, Ohtani returned the favor with a long ball of his own leading off the Dodgers' half of the first inning. The two-way star didn't go deep until his seventh game this season, but he's now homered four times over his past eight games. Ohtani has yet to steal a base this season, but otherwise he's been quite productive, slashing .283/.412/.528 with the four long balls, nine RBI, eight runs and 11 walks through 14 games as a hitter while having yet to allow an earned run across 12 innings spanning two starts on the mound.
