Shohei Ohtani, the first MLB player to be featured in Fortnite, expressed his honor at receiving this tribute. Ohtani, recovering from a shoulder injury, looks forward to the 2025 MLB season where he aims to prioritize hitting and aims for a second World Series win while also resuming pitching.

Shohei Ohtani is one of the biggest stars in all of sports and has collaborated with different brands over the years due to his popularity. On Monday, Ohtani became the first baseball player to join the Fortnite Icon Series by receiving two “skins” and other cosmetics that players can use across various game modes.

Ohtani's character will be available on March 17, one day before the Dodgers and Cubs meet in the Tokyo Series.
