Summary
- Shohei Ohtani, Japanese national, is the best player in MLB

- Blue Jays make World Series despite finishing last in 2024
As of October 27th, 2025, the highly anticipated World Series is underway, featuring a unique international matchup. The Los Angeles Dodgers, led by Japanese national Shohei Ohtani, the best player in Major League Baseball, are facing off against the Toronto Blue Jays and their rising star, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a Canadian-Dominican dual citizen.
Ohtani, who has been described as the greatest player in baseball history, recently put on a historic performance, striking out 10 batters, pitching 6 shutout innings, and hitting 3 home runs in a single game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays' Guerrero, known affectionately as "Vladdy," has emerged as a new sensation, leading his team to an unexpected World Series appearance after they finished last in their division in 2024.
The World Series, traditionally a showcase of American baseball, now features two non-American stars, reflecting the growing global influence of the sport. Fans have flocked to the Rogers Centre in Toronto, despite the high cost of tickets, to witness this unique international matchup. While the Blue Jays are not expected to win, their presence in the World Series is a testament to the unpredictability and excitement that sports can provide.
