If Ohtani wins the Cy Young in 2026, he becomes the undisputed GOAT โ no debate.
The first player in MLB history to win MVP + Cy Young in the same season while also being an elite two-way superstar? No one's ever come close to that level of dominance. Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow are great, but Shohei winning it would literally redefine what the 'best player ever' means. ๐ฅ๐
@DodgersNation Ohtani but Yamamoto is most realistic either way a dodgers will be winning the award soon along with Another MVP to the greatest player in MLB & WBC ๐๐ช๐ป SHOWhei GOATani
Just realized that the likeliest Dominican lineup is eight guys that got MVP votes and Austin Wells.
C: Wells
1B: Vlad
2B: Ketel
SS: Peรฑa or Perdomo
3B: Machado or Caminero
LF: Soto
CF: Julio
RF: Tatis
DH: Machado or Caminero
@ASebaugh92445@BenVerlander@FlippinBatsPod Bruh what? He literally help dodgers get back to back World Series trophy. So ohtani deserves to be playing in wbc . He never let us down
@BenVerlander@FlippinBatsPod Honestly he shouldnโt play in it. I hate the Dodgers with a passion but he wonโt be stretched out for the regular season so he wonโt be ready. He is letting his team down. Obviously heโs not a team player
Shohei Ohtani is officially heading to Japan for the WBC
He hasnโt pitched in a game yet in Spring and wonโt be pitching in games during the WBC because he wasnโt approved for insurance
So what does he do? What should he do?

Dave says Kyle Tucker should bat second with Freddie Freeman fourth because Kyle is an โon base machine.โ Fair enough. He boasts a .358 OBP lifetime. But Freddie wins that one with a .386 lifetime (and .391 as a Dodger). Freeman also has the better batting average (.300 lifetime and .310 in LA to .273). And the better slug (.511 lifetime, .516 as a Dodger, to .507). Translation: Freeman should bat second, or better yet third behind Mookie (with Smith fourth), because heโs the better hitter all the way around.

"I make a ton of contact, hit the ball hard, have a good arm, I can play defense. The goal is to be like Aaron Judge." ๐ฅ
Mexico has lost Taj Bradley, Josรฉ Urquidy, Cody Ponce, Aaron Sรกnchez, Ramรณn Urรญas, Isaac Paredes either to insurance issues or players opting to stay in spring training to compete for jobs. Brutal.
