Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani shared his thoughts on the idea of winning a third consecutive World Series title in 2026.
The Dodgers have taken over MLB in the past couple of seasons, winning the division in both seasons as well as the World Series. They’re looking to complete the franchise’s first three-peat in the coming season.
“I don’t think about it too much,” Ohtani said. “However I do hope when I retire and I look back, I can be able to say that I was on that team that won three championships in a row. That would be very cool.”
How is Shohei Ohtani Contributing to the Dodgers’ Three-Peat?
Since joining L.A., Ohtani has set himself apart as the clear best player in the National League. He has won back-to-back unanimous MVP awards since joining the Dodgers, and became the second player to win more than three in 2025. In addition to the MVPs, he has made both of the last two All-Star Games and won consecutive Silver Sluggers with the Dodgers.
In his first season with the Dodgers, Ohtani led the National League with 54 homers and 130 RBIs. He had just as good of a season in 2025, hitting 55 homers with 102 RBIs.
He slashed .296/.391/.634 during his first two seasons with the Dodgers, giving him a lifetime 1.025 OPS with the team.
Ohtani has also returned to pitching since joining the Dodgers, and returned to form after gradually working his way into longer outings. The reigning MVP posted a 2.87 ERA through 14 starts in 2025, striking out 62 batters in 47 innings pitched.
The 31-year-old is the most important player on the team, and will surely spearhead the offense as they head into another season.
When Was the Last Three-Peat?
The New York Yankees completed the last MLB three-peat, winning consecutive titles from 1998-2000.
The Yankees are one of two franchises to have a three-peat in their repertoire, the other being the Athletics, who have done it once. New York, though, has accomplished the feat three times in their history.
L.A. will look to join their ranks come October, and with all the quality they’ve added in the offseason, there may not be anyone to stop them.
