Following a landmark World Series win and earning his third MVP award, Shohei Ohtani topped Major League Baseball’s jersey sales, as reported by Fanatics network sites including MLBShop.com. Data shows that alongside Ohtani, six Dodgers players have secured spots in the top 20—Freddie Freeman in second place, Mookie Betts at fourth, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto at number ten.
This achievement marks only the second time two Japanese-born players, Ohtani and Yamamoto, have appeared in the top 10, echoing a similar feat by Ichiro Suzuki and Yu Darvish in 2012. Additional reports from Reuters and AS USA, dated March 31, 2025, reinforce Ohtani’s rising global profile, highlighted by records such as being the first to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season, which further fuel his jersey popularity.
