SHOTIME VIDEO: ’Baseball is Back’ with Ohtani home run

“Baseball is Back!” and Shohei Ohtani celebrated his sports’ return with a big home run.

Before the 2025 Opening Game at Dodger Stadium, ESPN aired this cartoon illustration on its broadcast featuring Shohei Ohtani and his Dodgers teammates Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman along with other MLB stars.

Catch the video of Shohei Ohtani’s game-winning home run against the Detroit Tigers, his second of the season, right here on ohtanimlb.com via a post from Noah Camras.

Shohei Ohtani didn't hit his first home run of the 2024 season until the Dodgers' ninth game on April 3.

He still finished with a career-high 54.

Three games into the 2025 season on March 27, Ohtani already has two home runs.pic.twitter.com/zY05UxOKzE
