Just hours after fans began lining up outside Dodger Stadium for the first of four Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaways this season, the first batch hit eBay, with one selling for a high of $717.17 — appearing to be a nod to Ohtani’s No. 17.

Ohtani (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and is scheduled for another Saturday, but there's not yet a projected date for him to face live hitters, Cody Snavely of DodgersBeat reports.

Even though Shohei Ohtani is inarguably the best player on the Los Angeles Dodgers, the question of who is the best athlete on the team has raised some debate for the reigning World Series champs. Speaking to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal about the topic, Mookie Betts definitively declared himself to be a better overall athlete than Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani flipped a game-ending home run to left-center field in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers kept their season-opening win streak alive by rallying from an early five-run deficit to earn a 6-5 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Shohei Ohtani continues to amaze in more ways than anyone can ever imagine – including with a walk-off home run on his own bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.

The Japanese superstar hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning on his bobblehead night, as Dodgers remained unbeaten by rallying from 5-0 down to keep Atlanta winless.

Shohei Ohtani met the moment again, and his latest theatrics have the Los Angeles Dodgers perfect to start the season heading into Philadelphia Friday night against the Phillies for a three-game series.

Then Max Muncy ditched his torpedo bat and Shohei Ohtani did this: "And the heartache has hit a new level for the Atlanta Braves." What a call from Braves announcer Brandon Gaudin. That's the saddest call I've heard so far this season.
