Shohei Ohtani capped an incredible first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers by winning a World Series title.
However, the eventual National League MVP award winner struggled a bit against the New York Yankees.
In five games in the World Series, Ohtani has two hits in 19 at-bats with one double, two runs, two walks and five strikeouts.
The Dodgers still managed to take the series and celebrated their victory with a parade in Los Angeles.
The superstar will be accompanied by a famous friend during the celebration.

Decoy is best known for the ceremonial first pitch he threw at Dodger Stadium during the regular season.
The pet continued his association with the Dodgers when Ohtani brought him to the parade for fans to see.
It ends Otani’s first season with the Dodgers after signing a 10-year deal last offseason.
The DH hit .310 with 54 home runs, 130 runs scored, 59 stolen bases, 134 runs scored and a 1.036 OPS.
The Dodgers will look to defend their World Series title next season and win back-to-back championships for the first time in franchise history.
Ohtani and Decoy will likely enjoy their time off until spring training, when all eyes will turn to the retreat to see if he’ll be back in 2025.
