Shohei Ohtani Just Won NL Pitcher Of The Month And Fans Are LOSING IT

Shohei Ohtani Wins First Career Pitcher of the Month Award With Historic 0.60 ERA in 2026 Shohei Ohtani just made baseball history again, and this time it has nothing to do with his bat. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has officially been named the National League Pitcher of the Month for March and April 2026, marking the first time in his entire MLB career that he has ever taken home this specific award. Across five starts and 30 innings of work, Ohtani posted a jaw-dropping 0.60 ERA, struck out 34 batters, recorded a 0.867 WHIP, and opened the season with 16 consecutive scoreless innings before allowing his first earned run against the New York Mets on April 15th. This video breaks down every detail of his historic month on the mound, including his 10-strikeout performance against the Mets, his bounce-back outing against the San Francisco Giants, and his closing start against the Miami Marlins. We also cover his offensive numbers during the same stretch, where he hit .273 with six home runs, 13 RBIs, and an .897 OPS in 29 games at the plate. The video also explains why this award means so much for Ohtani's recovery story after missing the 2024 season as a pitcher and throwing only 47 innings in 2025 following elbow surgery. Plus, we discuss where he ranks among Japanese pitchers to ever win this award and how his historic month compares to the rest of baseball.
