NEW YORK, NY — After helping lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a second consecutive World Series championship and electrifying crowds in the Tokyo Dome at the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Shohei Ohtani’s global superstar status continues as he opens his third straight MLB season with the most popular player jersey in the Majors. Since 2023, fans have purchased Ohtani’s Nike jersey more than any other in the U.S., Japan and worldwide.
Immediately following Ohtani on the most popular player jersey list, released jointly today by MLB and MLB Players, Inc. (MLBPI), is his Dodgers and Team Japan teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto (#2). This marks the first time that two Japanese-born players top the most popular player jersey list entering a season.
This list accounts for sales of Nike jerseys from the Fanatics network of sites, including MLBShop.com, since the culmination of the 2025 World Series presented by Capital One.
