Shohei Ohtani was born on July 5, 1994, in Ōshū, Japan. This countdown runs to the next birthday of baseball's two-way phenomenon.
Ohtani does what no one has done since Babe Ruth — dominate as both a pitcher and a hitter. In 2024 he invented the 50-homer, 50-steal season, and his record-setting Dodgers contract made him the face of modern baseball.
