Shohei Ohtani, the second-string superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, dominated the crowd with an absolute advantage of 3,341,257 votes in the first stage of fan voting for the 2026 Major League All-Star Game, winning the title of “King of Popularity” for both leagues! This is not only the first time in his major league career that he has topped the popularity rankings, but also the first time in 23 years since the legendary superstar Suzuki Ichiro (2001-2003) that a Japanese player has achieved this great achievement recorded in history! Shohei Ohtani therefore avoided the brutal competition in the second stage and directly locked in the position of starting the designated hitter (DH) on behalf of the National League in the All-Star Game. This is also the sixth consecutive year that he has been selected as the starter for the All-Star Game since 2021! For this reason, within 30 minutes of the announcement, the Dodgers team officially released a blessing card that cleverly combined Ohtani’s pitching posture and Philadelphia’s famous landmarks (City Hall, Art Museum stairs), instantly igniting the enthusiasm of baseball fans across the United States and Japan. At the same time, Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto (Toronto Blue Jays) of the American League also won the first place in the American League third baseman department and successfully entered the second round of the final round with Rays rising star Caminero Jr.! The strong strength of Japanese players in the major leagues and the birth of American League vote champion Ernie Clement (3.23 million votes, Blue Jays second baseman) are announcing that the major leagues are ushering in a golden age of global talent.

Why is he eager to challenge Ohtani’s hitting wisdom on the big stage? ・Based on his 73 home run record in a single season, home run king Barry Bonds explains how Ohtani maintains core stability and pure focus under high pressure and extreme load? ・What does the famous player David Ortiz think of Ohtani’s invisible leadership in the dugout, and the new dignity Kazuma Okamoto has written for Japan’s baseball infield strength?
