2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ohtani is quite simply one of the greatest baseball players to ever walk the planet. If a shred of doubt remained, he did away with it with two all-time postseason performances: a three-homer game against the Brewers to clinch the NLCS that included six scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on the mound, likely the greatest single-game performance of all time, before he reached base a major-league postseason record nine times in Game 3 of the World Series. His 2025 regular season was a slight step backward from 2024, as he didn't go 50-50, managing 55 homers and a mere 20 stolen bases in 158 games. Still, he posted an OPS over 1.000 for the third consecutive season and cruised to his third straight MVP award (second straight in the National League). By the end of the campaign, he looked fully back in form on the pitching mound, though those that draft Ohtani in weekly leagues will still want to plan to use him in the UT spot most of the time. After being limited as a pitcher last year in his first year back from Tommy John surgery, Ohtani is poised to work as a two-way player from the outset in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December of 2023.
Next start scheduled April 8
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that Ohtani is scheduled to make his next start in the team's series finale against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, April 8, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Analysis
The Dodgers plan on deploying a six-man rotation during the upcoming six-game road trip by mixing in a start for southpaw Justin Wrobleski, which means the next time Ohtani takes the mound will be during next week's World Series rematch. Ohtani dominated in his pitching debut against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out six across six scoreless innings to earn the win. Per Thomas Harrigan of MLB.com, Ohtani holds the longest regular-season scoreless streak among active pitchers at 22.2 innings, dating back to the 2025 campaign.

Stat Review
How does Shohei Ohtani compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

After Ronald Acuna established the 40-50, 40-60 and 40-70 clubs in 2023, Ohtani created a new exclusive club of his own in 2024, becoming the first player in major-league history to reach 50 homers and 50 steals in a season. It will go down as one of the greatest fantasy campaigns of all time, and the fact that he was coming off September 2023 Tommy John surgery makes it all the more impressive. His play was not affected by a gambling scandal involving his former interpreter, as Ohtani led the league or was in the 99th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, average exit velocity, barrel rate and hard-hit rate, per Statcast. There is usually only one way for a player to go after a career year, and his return to pitching complicates things somewhat, but Ohtani is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and the unprecedented can be expected at this point. Even as a UT-only player coming off a torn labrum in his left shoulder suffered during the World Series that will delay his return to the mound a bit, Ohtani will likely be the first player off the board in many leagues in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will remain as leadoff hitter
Ohtani will remain as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter in the 2026 season, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic.
Analysis
Ohtani is preparing for a full season of both pitching and hitting for the first time since joining the Dodgers, but manager Dave Roberts isn't going to change what's already working from a hitting standpoint. Ohtani slugged a career-high 55 home runs in the 2025 regular season and operated as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter in all but 10 of his 158 regular-season contests. With those results, it doesn't make any sense to remove the four-time MVP winner from the top of the order.
