The Los Angeles Dodgers had one of the biggest names on the 2025 MLB All-Star roster, but when the exhibition game ended in a 6-6 tie and went to a Home Run Derby-style swing-off, Shohei Ohtani was nowhere to be found. The game featured a new twist with MLB introducing a three-player, three-swing-per-hitter tiebreaker format instead of extra innings. While Kyle Schwarber ultimately led the National League to victory with three clutch home runs, fans were left asking why Ohtani didn’t step into the spotlight. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale on X (formerly Twitter), the Dodgers superstar had already left the stadium and was unavailable when the swing-off began.
