⚾️ Shohei Ohtani Crushes 30th Home Run of the Season — But Opts Out of the Home Run Derby 💥❌

In 2025, one name continues to dominate Major League Baseball like no other: Shohei Ohtani.
Today, he once again made history — and made a bold, strategic choice to protect his future.

💣 30th Home Run of the Season – Tops the National League

On July 4, against the Chicago White Sox, Ohtani launched a 408-foot solo home run in the fourth inning, marking his 30th home run of the 2025 season.

That blast made him the National League’s sole home run leader and placed him among elite company:
Ohtani has now hit 30+ homers before the All-Star break for five straight seasons — a rare feat in MLB history.

📊 2025 Season Stats (as of July 5)

Home Runs: 30 (NL leader)

OPS: 1.021

Slugging % (SLG): .633

Runs Scored: 82 (NL leader)


Ohtani is not just a top performer — he’s reshaping the league’s offensive landscape.

🩺 Why He’s Skipping the Home Run Derby

To the surprise of many fans, Ohtani has declined to participate in the 2025 Home Run Derby.

After recovering from elbow and shoulder surgeries, and only pitching 3 innings this season, both Ohtani and the Dodgers agreed that the Derby’s high-repetition format would be too physically taxing.

⚠️ The decision is clear:
Preserve health, prioritize October.
With the Dodgers eyeing another World Series title, Ohtani is playing the long game.


✍️ Final Thoughts

30 home runs. League-leading numbers. And a calculated choice.
In 2025, Shohei Ohtani isn’t just performing at an elite level —
he’s showing what it means to take full control of a legendary career.

We’re not just watching a superstar.
We’re witnessing a living legend shape baseball history in the world.
