Shohei Ohtani doesn't chase records so much as retire them. A year after becoming the first player in Major League history to reach 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season, Ohtani opened 2025 by rewriting the Dodgers' record book yet again, reaching 30 home runs in just 84 games, the fastest pace in franchise history, surpassing Duke Snider (1955) and Cody Bellinger (2019), who each needed 85.

That 84th game came on July 1st at Dodger Stadium, a 6-1 win over the visiting Chicago White Sox. With two outs and a full count in the bottom of the fourth, Ohtani launched a solo home run that stayed in the air for nearly seven seconds and traveled roughly 408 feet into the center-right field pavilion. Struck at 116.3 mph on a 42-degree launch angle, it stands as the hardest-hit home run with a launch angle above 36 degrees recorded since Statcast's introduction in 2015. The run proved decisive, backing a win for countryman Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the eventual 2025 World Series MVP.

The white home jersey offered here is the one Ohtani wore that day, its authenticity confirmed by MLB Authentication (hologram is affixed on the tail) and photomatch documentation from SIA Photo Match tying it directly to game images and footage. The uniform carries the traditional blue "Dodgers" script and red "17" on the chest, a gold MVP-recognition MLB logo above "Ohtani 17" on the back, a Fernando Valenzuela memorial patch on the left sleeve, and the Guggenheim sponsor patch at right. Interior tagging includes an MLB/Nike label and a team inventory tag reading "17.85." Wear is consistent with single-game use.
