2025 Recap: A Two-Way Return, Another MVP & Championship
<p>It was going to be a challenge for Ohtani to start pitching again after taking last season off to recover from arm surgery, but that's what he thrives on. After coming back to the mound in mid-June, he slowly ramped up and ended up having a solid return. On the hitting side, he beat his home run record of last year by one and got to 55 this time. In the playoffs, he had a couple of particularly memorable games that will likely never be seen done again by anyone else. He played a key role in the Dodgers taking home another World Series championship this season and Ohtani once again won the MVP award.</p>

Married Man + Ippei Gambling Scandal
<p>It’s been a crazy offseason for Ohtani this year. Signing his $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in free agency wasn’t the end of it. Aside from normal Spring Training ramping back up after his procedure, some other developments came up. On the positive side, Ohtani announced he was newly married to Mamiko Tanaka, who has been a Japanese basketball player in recent years. On the negative side, a gambling scandal emerged around his former right hand man – interpreter Ippei Mizuhara – which Ippei involved Ohtani in by reportedly lying about knowledge and involvement to it. Jack and Kev talk about the latest developments with the marriage and Ippei, as well as giving a little preview to the Dodgers’ year ahead.
