Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has won MVP three times over. He also finished top-5 in AL Cy Young voting back in 2022 with the Los Angeles Angels. In fact, he was so successful that the Dodgers signed him to the richest contract in baseball history.

Ohtani reportedly played a huge role in the Dodgers' recruitment of Sasaki, the 23-year-old pitching phenom, who posted a 29-15 record and 2.10 ERA in 64 appearances in the Nippon Professional Baseball. Ohtani also recently revealed his message was to Sasaki just before the latter picked the Dodgers.
