The Shohei Ohtani buzz keeps on going. Just days after Ohtani announed his 10-year $700 million USD deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fanatics has unveiled the 2024 Shohei Ohtani No. 17 jerseys.
The Japanese superstar, known to be one of the league’s top hitters and pitchers, has created an great impact on the diamond. A major star on the field both back at home and in the MLB, he comes off a 2023 campaign with 44 home runs and goes 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA, unanimously winning AL MVP for the second time in his career. However, due to an elbow surgery, he will be off the mound in 2024 but is expected to make a two-way return in 2025.
Ohtani’s jerseys are now available for pre-order online both in the white home replica player jersey and in a selection of t-shirts in grey, black, navy and white. Reliever Joe Kelly is switching his uniform number to No. 99 with the Dodgers in order to open No. 17 for Ohtani. Kelly signed a one-year $8 million USD contract with the Ddogers. The Ohtani jerseys are going for $134.99 USD and can be ordered on the MLB Shop.
