"The Dodgers had a lot of success and were making the playoffs almost every year. Obviously, I was on the Angels, and looking from the outside, it looked like it was easy for the Dodgers to make the playoffs. But when you’re part of the team, it was actually really grinding and a big struggle just to make the playoffs. The Padres were making a big push at the end, and then to fend them off, it was a tough experience. But it was very special, very emotional, I really enjoyed it."
"Ohtani capped off his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the most important player for a team that achieved its goal by winning the World Series... He finished the regular season with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases and was voted 2024 National League MVP in unanimous fashion."
"While Ohtani and the Dodgers were able to complete their primary goal of winning the World Series, not everything went well for him. The 30-year-old year old suffered an injury to his left shoulder in Game 2 of the World Series which impacted his swing."
"Thankfully, the shoulder injury is on Ohtani's none-throwing arm, so it shouldn't affect his power at the plate or ability to pitch. As a right-hander, he is optimistic about a return to hitting by Opening Day 2025."
