It's tough to deny that Shohei Ohtani has become the face of Major League Baseball, even though pundits such as Stephen A. Smith did not believe it was possible. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar put on a show in 2024 and continues to defy what fans think is possible on the baseball field.

Last season, Ohtani surprised fans and players by becoming the first player in MLB history to record 50 home runs (54) and 50 stolen bases (59) in a single season. As if that feat wasn't impressive enough, he did this while recovering from an elbow surgery that kept him from pitching at all in 2024.
