By Field Level Media Oct 16 (Field Level Media) - LOS ANGELES -- After ending his homer drought with a massive blast in his final game of the year, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani announced his intention to become a two-way player again next season.

Shohei Ohtani hit an emotional home run against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night. Ohtani, who hadn’t homered since August 18th, was moved to the leadoff spot in the lineup in Game 4 as the Los Angeles Dodgers tried to avoid elimination. Ohtani answered with his first home run in 116 at-bats.

A stunningly comprehensive NLCS sweep by the Milwaukee Brewers casts onto the most expensive team ever assembled a foreign feeling: failure.

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers were eliminated from the 2026 MLB postseason with a 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the NLCS on Thursday night.

Shohei Ohtani showed the world a glimpse of his game-breaking abilities in Game 4 of the NLCS, but it was too little, too late for a Dodgers team that needs him healthy to challenge for a World Series title.

Plus, Shohei Ohtani’s drought ends just when he needs it.
