Shohei Ohtani has set a new record – even before playing his first MLB game for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
On the eve of an introductory press conference to present history’s first $700 million athlete, Ohtani set yet another mark.
According to licensed sportswear retailer Fanatics, his No 17 Dodgers jersey set a record for sales within 48 hours of release.
Ohtani shirts flew off the shelves – both physical and digital – at a rate that more than doubled the previous record, held by football megastar Lionel Messi.
When Ohtani dons a Dodgers jersey for the first time during his introductory press conference, there will be countless fans already wearing the No 17 in Dodger blue.
