The game everyone is still buzzing about and it may not ever stop. Shohei Ohtani went all Little League best player on the field but it wasn't Little League, but the National League Championship Series. As the Los Angeles Dodgers storm through their playoff bracket (now 9-1 so far in these playoffs). Shohei keeps doing it all. Of course by all, we mean hitting and pitching. In NLCS Game 4, Shohei took the mound and went 6 innings, just 2 hits and 10 strikeouts over 100 pitches. But to quote the telemarketing campaign "but wait, there's more". Batting leadoff he staked his starting pitcher (in this case, himself) to a 1-0 lead (which ballooned to a 3 run lead by the end) with a leadoff home run. But wait, there's more. He hit two more solo home runs and drew a walk for a perfect day at the plate as the Dodgers eased to a 5-1 win and their fifth pennant in 9 years. Tying a playoff home run record with 3 home runs in a game (joining Reggie Jackson, Babe Ruth, Jose Altuve, and many more). What can't he do? Time will tell. But Shohei Ohtani is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
This is Shohei Ohtani's third Sportsman of the Week in three years
