Ohtani became the first player in league history to tally 50 home runs and stolen bases in the same season, inventing MLB's 50/50 club. He accomplished that while recovering from UCL surgery, which prevented Ohtani from contributing on the mound last season, when he served as LA's designated hitter in 159 games played.

Dodgers stars Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman are among the many Los Angeles sports figures donating to help those affected by the Los Angeles Fires.

Mizuhara allegedly had already obtained access to Ohtani's bank accounts and changed security credentials to give himself entry. The person on the tape tells the bank employee that he is Shohei Ohtani, then provides a phone number to the bank for authorization -- a number that prosecutors say belonged to Mizuhara.
