Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers) MLB 7" Figure McFarlane's SportsPicks. Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers) 7" Posed Figure. Shohei Ohtani, nicknamed "Shotime", made his MLB debut in 2018 and quickly became a sensation because of his ability to excel as both a pitcher and a hitter. He won the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award. Ohtani's historic 2021 season was recognized for two Guinness World Records titles: (1) the first MLB player to achieve 100+ innings and record 100+ strikeouts as a pitcher, and 100+ RBIs, hits and runs as a batter in a single season and (2) the first player to start the MLB All-Star Game as a pitcher and a designated hitter. He was awarded the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player Award and also became the 16th recipient of the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award who formally recognized Ohtani's 2021 season as historically significant and unprecedented. He followed this in 2022 by becoming the first player in the modern era to qualify for both the hitting and pitching leaderboards in one season. Ohtani completed yet another historic campaign in 2023, becoming the first player in MLB history with 10 wins and 40 home runs in a season, the first Japanese-born player to win a major league home run title, and the first player in MLB history to win MVP by unanimous vote twice. He was also named the MVP of the 2023 World Baseball Classic, won his third straight Edgar Martínez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award, his second Silver Slugger Award, awarded his second Players Choice American League Outstanding Player Award, named Los Angeles Angels Player of the Year by his teammates, and won his second Associated Press AP Athlete of the Year. After the 2023 season, Ohtani signed a record-setting 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, the largest contract in professional sports history to date.
