Shohei Ohtani makes MLB history to send Dodgers back to the World Series

Vinnie Pasquantino joins Nick Wright and Danny Parkins on Frenemies to debate whom he’d take between Cal Raleigh and Vladimir Jr., discuss whether Shohei Ohtani can break out of his slump, and build his perfect MLB player.

Shohei Ohtani did something never before seen in MLB history Friday night.

The Japanese phenom hit three home runs and pitched six scoreless innings, leading the Dodgers back to the World Series. Los Angeles finished a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Championship Series with a 5-1 victory in Game 4. 

According to MLB.com Ohtani is now the only player in league history to hit multiple home runs in a game he pitched in a postseason game. He reached that milestone with his second homer in the fourth inning and added a third in the seventh. He also struck out 10 batters over six scoreless innings.

Before Friday, only 12 MLB players in history had hit three home runs in a postseason game, and just 26 pitchers had struck out at least 10 without allowing a run. Now Ohtani is on both those lists and is the only player to do both in the same game.

Fans and sports analysts on social media called it one of the greatest performances in baseball history, with ESPN and MLB Network highlighting the unprecedented combination of pitching and hitting dominance.
