One of the big stories of the current season has been the injury to Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, who suffered a new injury and has been out for quite some time. However, the Japanese player’s recovery has been very quick and effective, so in recent days he was looking very good in training and excited everyone with an early return, which could be close.
The MLB world is watching what is probably one of the biggest events of the year. Shohei Ohtani is set to return to the mound Monday to face the Padres. After months of speculation and cautious anticipation about his recovery, the Japanese will once again unleash his power as a pitcher, provoking a wave of hysteria that not only dominates the headlines, but is also redefining the value of a ticket to a baseball game.

The anticipation for Ohtani’s return is tremendous and would not only affect the sport, but also economically, as the Dodgers could benefit greatly from ticket sales. Monday’s game between the Dodgers and Padres has reached a much higher point of interest with Ohtani’s return and fans are going crazy buying tickets to attend Dodger Stadium.
The specialized channel DodgersMuse, associated with SeatGeek (MLB’s ticketing partner), revealed on X that “ticket prices have skyrocketed for Shohei Ohtani’s start tomorrow”. Incredibly, seats are selling in a range of $200 to $700 each, figures that far exceed the usual prices for a regular season game.
Overcoming reality
To understand the magnitude of this phenomenon, just compare: tickets for an average MLB game, such as Tuesday’s game between the Giants and the Guardians, are just $50. Even historic rivalries such as the Yankees versus the Red Sox have an average ticket price of around $340.
The clash between the Padres and Dodgers, driven by Ohtani, has a serious chance of even surpassing the record of the iconic Boston-New York rivalry. This level of euphoria surrounding Ohtani is not a new phenomenon. It was seen just a few months ago in the Tokyo Series, where ticket demand not only skyrocketed, but exploded, with resale prices reaching staggering figures. So it is already a fact that Ohtani not only generates sporting impact, but literally moves the masses.
Ohtani, a global figure
Shohei Ohtani is not just a baseball player; he is a cultural phenomenon and an unprecedented global ambassador for MLB. The Japanese player’s impact transcends borders in a unique way. His incredible level has elevated him to a category of his own in the history of the sport. No one else in the modern era has been able to maintain such a high level in both facets of the game.
There is no doubt about the legacy the Japanese player is leaving and the impact he has on the Dodgers. Ohtani is a huge figure in MLB and with his long-awaited return, he is proving that his figure alone is capable of selling many tickets.

The unlikely power of Corbin Carroll, the diminutive Diamondback raking homers
PHOENIX — The ball left Corbin Carroll’s bat with an exit velocity of 94.8 mph, more of a line drive than a towering fly ball. Sprinting out of the batter’s box, head down, Carroll didn’t think it was enough. The 24-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder thought he had clipped it.But the ball kept carrying at Chase Field, landing in the front row of the left-field bleachers, No. 20 on the season, putting Carroll on a 46-plus home run pace, not that such things matter in the middle of June, if at all. The most electric player in the game.https://t.co/4SLoL8HfgQ pic.twitter.com/4xl17SX9iq — Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) June 14, 2025In his third full season, Carroll’s power isn’t a secret.

Liberec jedná se Slavií o setrvání Masopusta. Kováč chce zpevnit ještě defenzivu
Zatím tým posilují především mladí a talentovaní hráči. Nebojíte se, že Liberci budou stejně jako loni na podzim na hřišti chybět zkušení hráči?Věřím, že dopadne Maso (Masopust). Myslím, že zkušeným hráčem je i Krollis. V bráně mámě Koubyse (Koubek) s Ivanem (Krajčírikem), což už jsou také zkušenější hráči. I ty mladí hráči, co jsou tady rok a prošli adaptací, určité zkušenosti nabrali. Myslím, že budeme mít zdaleka nejmladší tým v lize, to je jasný, ale na druhou stranu jsou to fotbalisté, kteří už za sebou mají nějaké ligové zápasy. Kluci budou daleko lépe připravení a ta adaptace by měla být kratší, než byla minulou sezonu.Jak tedy aktuálně vypadá situace s Lukášem Masopustem, jehož setrvání označil majitel klubu Ondřej Kania jako absolutní prioritu?Pořád je hráčem Liberce, protože stále do konce června trvá jeho hostování ze Slavie. Jednoznačně o něj zájem je, ale bude se jednat. Vedení na tom pracuje. Stejné je […]

With Ohtani’s two-way return and Devers’ arrival, Padres need their stars more than ever
LOS ANGELES — A day after the trade of Rafael Devers rocked the baseball industry, this city reclaimed at least temporary status as the epicenter of the sport. Here, Shohei Ohtani was scheduled to make his long-awaited pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Here, too, the San Diego Padres sounded eager to face another high-profile challenge in a division now filled with them.Advertisement“As Ric Flair would say, to be the man, you gotta beat the man,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said before Monday’s series opener at Dodger Stadium. “And if we’re going to be the best, we gotta beat the best. That’s what this is all about, and it’s what I signed up for and our group signed up for. So, we’re excited. But it’s about our star power as much as it is anybody else’s.”For portions of the […]
