Star, three-time MVP and a World Series champion but even he can still shock the baseball world with his performance on the field. On Friday, Oct. 17, the Los Angeles Dodgers star threw six scoreless innings while striking out 10 batters and hitting three home runs en route to a 5-0 win as the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers.

Hear the call as heard on STAR and MLB India of Shohei Ohtani's 10th strikeout of the night as called by Jacob Wilkins and Manish Behta

The stardust had barely settled over Dodger Stadium before the debate got under way."This is the beginning of every baseball conversation and the end of the debate: Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player who has ever played the game.

(Reuters) -Shohei Ohtani's otherworldly performance that propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series has left the sporting world in awe, with players and legends alike marvelling at what may have been the greatest single-game display in MLB history.

In Game 4 of the NLCS, with his team already up 3-0 on the series, Ohtani reached his apex as a two-way player with three homers at the plate and 10 strikeouts in six scoreless innings. Unprecedented doesn't begin to describe what he just did in a delirious night at Chavez Ravine.

Shohei Ohtani hasn't contributed much to the Los Angeles Dodgers with his bat during their otherwise impressive playoff run to the brink of the World Series.

Shohei Ohtani had himself quite the first inning against the Brewers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. His three strikeouts in the top half were impressive.

After 48 seasons of disappointment, the Seattle Mariners need only one victory to reach their first World Series, but the Toronto Blue Jays are determined to deny them.
