In a night that will be etched in baseball history, Shohei Ohtani delivered a mind-blowing performance during Game 3 of the World Series that left fans and critics alike in absolute awe. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ superstar slugged two homers and two doubles in the first seven innings, becoming the first player ever to record four extra-base hits in a single World Series game.

Ohtani’s extraordinary night didn’t stop there. After his initial four-hit barrage, he was intentionally walked four consecutive times by the Toronto Blue Jays, a postseason record that demonstrates just how intimidating his batting prowess has become. His ability to reach base nine times in a single game – a feat not accomplished in 83 years – solidified his status as one of baseball’s most exceptional players.

This performance came just ten days after his legendary three-homer, ten-strikeout game that clinched the National League pennant. Against the Blue Jays, Ohtani continued his postseason magic, tying Corey Seager’s record of eight homers in a single postseason and positioning himself close to Randy Arozarena’s all-time MLB postseason home run record.

The game itself was an epic 18-inning battle that concluded with Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homer, sending Dodgers fans into a frenzy. Ohtani’s reaction remained characteristically humble, emphasizing team victory over individual accomplishment.

Moreover, Ohtani’s versatility continues to set him apart. Just hours after his remarkable batting performance, he was scheduled to pitch in Game 4, showcasing the rare dual-threat capability that has made him a global baseball sensation.

As the World Series continues, all eyes remain fixed on Ohtani – a player who seems to redefine baseball’s possibilities with each extraordinary appearance.
