Shohei Ohtani final stats: Dodgers star wins another World Series despite struggles on the mound image

TL;DR

  • Dodgers won World Series Game 7, securing their second consecutive championship.
  • Shohei Ohtani pitched 2.1 innings, allowing 3 runs, and had 2 hits at the plate.
  • Ohtani's Game 7 pitching performance ended with a three-run homer by Bo Bichette.
  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto closed out Game 7, preventing Ohtani from winning World Series MVP.

JUMP TO:

The Los Angeles Dodgers turned to Shohei Ohtani as their starter in Game 7 of the World Series, but his time on the mound now feels like a distant memory.

Long after a rocky outing for the three-time MVP ended with a three-run home run by Bo Bichette, the Dodgers clawed their way back and won their second consecutive championship. Ohtani, who had two hits in the win but did not hit one of the home runs that tied and won the game, is now a two-time World Series champion. 

Despite the up-and-down night for Ohtani, his dominant start to the World Series nearly earned him MVP honors. By the time fellow countryman Yoshinobu Yamamoto closed out a win in Game 7 just one day after starting Game 6, though, it was clear that Ohtani was not headed for his first World Series MVP award.

The Sporting News tracked live stats and highlights from Shohei Ohtani's performance in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. Check out the key numbers and moments you might have missed below.
