Shohei Ohtani's mother is Kayoko Ohtani. She also made her mark as an athlete, earning rave reviews as an amateur badminton player in Japan. She very well could be the most talented athlete in the family. “I can’t beat her in badminton to this day,” Shohei told MLB.com in 2017. “She’s tall and she’s been playing badminton for a long time.”

Shohei Ohtani will "probably" start a potential decisive Game 3 of the wild-card series, or pitch the opener of an ensuing National League Division Series if his team advances sooner, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Monday's workout at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers have a plan ready for when superstar Shohei Ohtani will make his starting duties on the mound in the playoffs.

Shohei Ohtani might be more famous than any NBA star, and a Los Angeles Lakers player got the chance to meet him.

Ohtani finished the season with 146 runs and 55 home runs. He's only the fifth player to ever have a season with at least 145 runs and 50 homers. The other four are Babe Ruth, Hack Wilson, Jimmie Foxx and Sammy Sosa, according to @JayHayKid. Ruth did it four times, with the others each doing it once.

The National League MVP race is competitive down the final stretch of the regular season, but Shohei Ohtani has the award all but won.
