Shohei Ohtani’s last several days have been a whirlwind mix of postseason spotlight and cross-continental buzz. In the National League Division Series against the Phillies, Ohtani aced his Dodgers October pitching debut with a six-inning, nine-strikeout performance, propelling the reigning champs to a Game 1 win according to MLB.com. The spectacle carried extra significance as it marked his first postseason outing on the mound in Dodger blue, drawing parallels with legends like Don Newcombe and Tim Belcher for the most strikeouts by a Dodgers pitcher debuting in October baseball.

Ohtani’s postseason bat, on the other hand, hasn’t caught fire yet. Sports Illustrated notes his mere one hit and one RBI in 18 at-bats in the NLDS, though his lone hit was clutch—a game-winner in Game 2. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed these struggles directly, explaining to media that Ohtani’s swing decisions have temporarily gone awry but that he remains a constant threat every time he steps into the box. The Phillies even intentionally walked him during Thursday’s tense closeout, which underscores his ongoing respect among opponents regardless of stat lines.

Looking ahead, Roberts revealed that Ohtani is the likely starter for Game 1 of the NLCS, reinforcing the historic two-way role Ohtani has carved out for himself. Fans can expect to see him open games consistently, typically for an inning or two as he continues his post-surgery pitching ramp-up per Japanese City. This rare dual-threat status is precisely what has positioned Ohtani as a global draw, and, as the Los Angeles Times highlighted, elevated Dodgers home games into platforms for Japanese entertainment brands eager to hitch their star to his.

Off the field, Ohtani’s influence echoes across business and culture. He’s still early into his record-shattering 10-year, $700 million Dodgers contract, and the MLB’s digital team just rolled out major updates designed to serve Ohtani’s native Japanese fanbase, including Japanese as an official website and app language, which Sports Business Journal says led to a 49 percent jump in daily users geolocated to Japan. Ohtani-themed merchandise continues to drive sales—the next Dodgers bobblehead night in his image is already creating fan frenzy for October 13.

Social media buzz has been constant, from highlight clip circulations to trending hashtags like ShoTimeNLCS and OhtaniMVP. No major off-field controversy or gossip has surfaced recently—much of the coverage remains laser-focused on his performance and broader impact on the sport’s international storylines, especially as he’s set to reclaim the mound at the highest stakes of the postseason.
