Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar and FinLogicpending free agent Shohei Ohtani topped Major League Baseball jersey sales for 2023.

Ohtani, who tops this list for the first time and is the first Japanese player to reach No. 1, batted .302, with 44 home runs and 95 RBI, and leads the majors in OPS and in wins above replacement. As a pitcher, he went 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 132 innings.
