Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will take the field in the postseason for the first time in his MLB career on Saturday. Ohtani, who signed with the Dodgers last December on a 10-year, $700 million deal, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels never made the playoffs with Ohtani on their team, and have not made the playoffs since 2014. Even without making the postseason, Ohtani was still one of the most accomplished players in baseball. He was a three-time MLB All-Star, two-time American League MVP, two-time home run leader, and 2023 home run leader among other accomplishments with the Angels.
