pWotD Episode 3091: Shohei Ohtani Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 331,536 views on Saturday, 18 October 2025 our article of the day is Shohei Ohtani.Shohei Ohtani (Japanese: 大谷 翔平, Hepburn: Ōtani Shōhei; pronounced [oːtaɲi ɕoːheː] (SHOW-hey oh-TAH-nee); born July 5, 1994) is a Japanese professional baseball designated hitter and pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "Shotime", he has previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Angels and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Because of his elite contributions as a hitter and as a pitcher, a rarity as a two-way player, Ohtani's prime seasons have been considered among the greatest in baseball history, with some comparing them favorably to the early career of Babe Ruth.Considered early on as an elite two-way player, Ohtani was the first pick of the Fighters in the 2012 NPB draft. He played for the Fighters from 2013 through 2017 as a pitcher and an outfielder and won the 2016 Japan Series with them. The Fighters posted Ohtani to MLB after the 2017 season, and he signed with the Angels, soon winning the 2018 American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award.Following an injury-plagued 2019 and 2020, Ohtani hit 46 home runs and struck out 156 batters en route to winning his first AL Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2021, a statistically unprecedented two-way season that saw him bestowed with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award. In 2022, he became the first player in the modern era to qualify for both the hitting and pitching leaderboards in one season, finishing third in the AL with 219 strikeouts.Ohtani won his second AL MVP in 2023, leading the AL with 44 home runs while recording 10 wins as a pitcher. He was the first player to win multiple unanimous MVPs and the first Japanese-born player to win a league home run title. After the 2023 season, Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, the then-largest contract in professional sports history. Since 2023, Ohtani's jerseys have sold more than any other player in the U. S., Japan and worldwide. Unable to pitch in 2024 while recovering from a second elbow injury, Ohtani played as a DH for the Dodgers. He became the first player in MLB history to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season and was unanimously named the 2024 National League MVP. He won the 2024 World Series in his first MLB postseason appearance.Internationally, Ohtani represents Japan. At the 2023 World Baseball Classic, he won the MVP Award for the tournament following Japan's victory over the United States. The 2023 final was one of the most-watched baseball games in history, culminating with Ohtani striking out Angels teammate and U. S. captain Mike Trout on a full count, securing a 3–2 win and Japan's third title.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:24 UTC on Sunday, 19 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Shohei Ohtani on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

Baseball legend Dusty Baker sits down with Jimmy for a candid, story-packed conversation spanning his life in the game—All-Star outfielder, World Series champion, and three-time Manager of the Year. Dusty relives the Barry Bonds era from a front-row seat, breaks down how elite hitters actually “know” what's coming, and shares the mindset he learned from Hank Aaron about trusting your eyes, handling failure, and staying ready. He also opens up about representation in the dugout, what it's really like to get rehired in MLB, and how age and experience still matter in a sport obsessed with numbers.From the heartbreaks—'02 World Series, the Bartman game, Halladay's no-no—to redemption with the 2022 Astros, Dusty explains managing under pressure, restoring dignity after the scandal, and navigating the COVID season and hostile road crowds. He reflects on winter ball's intensity, the economics behind the decline of Black American players, and a deeply personal moment when his young son stepped onto the World Series stage while Dusty was battling cancer. Plus: why he said yes to managing Nicaragua in the World Baseball Classic.00:00 Introduction01:32 Barry Bonds up close; lessons from Hank Aaron09:31 Rehiring, respect, and minority managers11:54 How the Astros job happened & the 2022 run15:34 COVID season, boos, and rebuilding trust22:04 Prior/Wood, pitch counts, and the injury era27:52 '89 quake Series & toughest losses (Bartman, '02)32:37 Fatherhood, cancer, and a World Series moment41:06 Outro

Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic is coming to Citi Field, and Carlos Delgado is taking it seriously. Delgado joins Jay Horwitz to break down why this matchup is so much more than a game — the energy, the culture, the bragging rights — and why once first pitch hits, everyone's playing to win. He talks about teaming up with Carlos Beltrán on the bench, Mets bullpen coach José Rosado, and why he's managing Puerto Rico like it's the World Baseball Classic. Delgado also opens up on 25 years of his Extra Bases Foundation, rebuilding Puerto Rico after hurricanes, mentoring the next generation of players, and what it means to still hold the PR home run record.

BT is hyped for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage, viewing the international, team-based golf event as a unique, high-energy spectacle with intense competitive tension and a raucous crowd. Sal, however, could not be less interested, dismissing the Ryder Cup as overhyped "chaos" that he'd rather skip in favor of his couch or a long list of TV shows. The contrasting views set up a classic sports debate, with BT extolling the virtues of the event's prestige and atmosphere, while Sal mocks it as the "World Baseball Classic of golf," preferring the individual majors and questioning the hype surrounding the team-based format.
