28 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Ohtani hit 3 extra-base hits, including a homer, in Game 3
- Only 1 player has had 4 extra-base hits in a World Series game
- Ohtani to make his first World Series pitching start in Game 4
In a thrilling Game 3 of the World Series on October 28, 2025, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers delivered a standout performance at the plate. Ohtani led off the game with a ground-rule double and followed it up with a solo home run in the third inning, putting the Dodgers on the board. He then added an RBI double in the fifth inning to tie the game.
Ohtani's three extra-base hits in the first five innings were a remarkable feat, as only one player in baseball history has had four extra-base hits in a World Series game - Frank Isbell of the Chicago White Sox in 1906. Ohtani's offensive display came just 10 days after his sensational two-way effort in the National League Championship Series, where he hit three homers and struck out 10 batters.
