Shohei Ohtani was named NLCS MVP after helping the Los Angeles Dodgers clinch a spot in the 2025 World Series with one of the most dominant performances in MLB postseason history.

Ohtani pitched six shutout innings and hit three home runs Friday night as the Dodgers clinched an NLCS sweep with a 5-1 Game 4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Ohtani and the Dodgers will now advance to face either the Seattle Mariners or the Toronto Blue Jays for a second straight title. The Mariners took a 3-2 ALCS series lead on Friday night.
