The 2024 MLB season kicked off with the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the San Diego Padres 5-2 in Seoul, South Korea. This game, part of the 'Seoul Series', was highlighted by Shohei Ohtani's debut following his $700 million contract with the Dodgers. Ohtani impressed with two hits, one RBI, and a stolen base. The game was also marked by a bomb threat hoax targeting Ohtani, which was later dismissed by local authorities. The event, attended by VIPs including K-pop idols and government officials, aimed to showcase South Korea to the world. The series continues with fans and analysts eagerly anticipating the next games.

First, Shohei Ohtani shattered expectations for what a baseball player can be. Then he did the same to the sport’s star-driven economics. All he wants now: a chance to bend October to his will, Tom Verducci writes https://t.co/7dTG8WRRIP

⚾️ The Shohei Ohtani era with the Dodgers is off to a strong start after MLB opener in Seoul. Ohtani, a hitting-and-pitching sensation joined the Dodgers in December on an unprecedented 10-year, $700 million contract, @petersblendorio writes. https://t.co/bsSzWh68tI
Way to go, @Dodgers, for kicking off the #SeoulSeries with a win! An incredible debut of Shohei Ohtani on the team! Here's to a great season ahead.⚾️ https://t.co/696gxRYPrE
It's hard to overstate how much more popular Shohei Ohtani is than anyone else in MLB. For example, Ohtani deferred basically his entire MLB salary but still makes more money than anyone else in baseball because of his $65 million annual endorsement income. (h/t @Sportico) https://t.co/n6cPmWt2Gx
