Shohei Ohtani has dazzled the world as both a hitter AND a pitcher to open 2026 with the #Dodgers, with 0.60 ERA and .897 OPS in his first month of the season ⚾🔥.

Ohtani is the first #MLB pitcher since at least 1913 to open the season with five consecutive starts of at least 6 innings pitched with no home runs allowed and no more than five hits or one earned run allowed in each start.

Earned Run Average (ERA) is a #baseball statistic representing the average number of earned runs a pitcher allows every nine innings. It measures pitcher effectiveness, with a lower ERA indicating better performance.

OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) is a premier sabermetric baseball statistic calculating a hitter's total offensive value by adding their On-Base Percentage (OBP) and Slugging Percentage (SLG) together. It measures both the ability to reach base and hit for power, with an .800+ OPS considered to be above average.

Will Shohei Ohtani win his first ever Cy Young or make it 4 straight MVP awards? 👀⚾🔥
