Trump gushes over Shohei Ohtani as president welcomes Dodgers to White House

"He looks like a movie star," Trump said. "He's got a good future, I'm telling you."

Ohtani had 54 home runs, 59 stolen bases, batted .390 and drove in 130 RBI in 159 games for the Dodgers. He was awarded the National League MVP for his efforts. It was his first season with Los Angeles after signing a massive 10-year, $700 million contract with the team in the prior offseason.

Trump mentioned that Ohtani clinched the 50-50 moment in a game he went 6-for-6 in. He said some called it "the greatest game ever." He had three homers and 10 RBI in the game.

"Is he good," Trump jokingly asked manager Davie Roberts, who responded, "He's only getting better."

"And he's getting better. That's scary for a lot of people," Trump said.

Later, Ohtani took a photo with Trump in the Oval Office and posed next to the Declaration of Independence.

He cooled off during the World Series, but the team still managed to defeat the New York Yankees in five games. It was the Dodgers' second title since 2020.

This season, Ohtani has three home runs in 11 games. He is hitting .268 with three RBI and two stolen bases. He may return to the mound as well and get back to pitching.
