Ohtani spoke with SI to promote becoming the first baseball player to join the Fortnite Icon Series. The first baseball player named an All-Star as a pitcher and hitter and the first to record a 50–50 season, Shohei Ohtani is breaking new ground again: the first baseball player to join the Fortnite Icon Series.

Ohtani's character will be available on March 17, one day before the Dodgers and Cubs meet in the Tokyo Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers star will become the latest athlete to join the “Icon Series" ranks and get a pair of custom skins in the game on March 17, ahead of the MLB Tokyo Series on March 18-19.
