Shohei Ohtani continues to assert his status as a top MLB star, having just won his fourth Silver Slugger Award and become the National League’s designated hitter for the third consecutive time. This achievement not only reflects his excellent consistency last season but also emphasizes Ohtani’s rare versatility — being both a key pitcher and an effective hitter.
In the 2025 season, Ohtani continued to shine with accurate hits and decisive home runs, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers maintain their peak performance and win the World Series. His impressive statistics, from high OPS, abundant RBI to important hits, have made him a fearsome “offensive machine” that any team must be wary of.
The 4th Silver Slugger is not only a recognition of his personal efforts, but also a testament to Ohtani’s enormous influence on the Dodgers’ roster. He not only created explosive moments on the field, but also inspired teammates and fans, from the US to Japan, where he is considered a national pride.
Experts say that Ohtani’s excellent performance over the past three consecutive seasons, especially as a designated hitter, is a rare thing in MLB history. This means that the Dodgers will continue to rely on him as an important pillar, both in ensuring the team’s performance on the field and in its long-term strategy.
With his 4th Silver Slugger in hand, Ohtani once again affirmed that he is not only a great pitcher or “an excellent Japanese player in MLB”, but also a symbol of durability, talent and top performance in the world of baseball.
