"What was happening on the ground?"

From his transfer to the Dodgers, marriage, opening games in Korea and Japan, the revival of his two-way play, and finally, the consecutive World Series championships achieved after a fierce battle—this is the complete record of 2024-2025, when he became "Ohtani of the World."

This is the second powerful non-fiction installment by Naoyuki Yanagihara, an MLB reporter for Sports Nippon Newspaper, who has been following Shohei Ohtani for over 12 years since his time in Japan and now appears on numerous media outlets such as "Hirunobi" and "Gogosuma" (TBS).

With stunning photographs taken on location by Sports Nippon photographers, the sense of realism vividly comes to life, making this a must-read for fans.
