Los Angeles, California – Just when many thought the Shohei Ohtani craze had reached its limit, a new announcement from the renowned Japanese green tea brand Ito En has once again ignited the global baseball community.
According to the newly released information, Ito En will release a special collection of 63 Oi Ocha green tea bottle designs, each representing a home run Shohei Ohtani will make in the 2025 season – including 55 home runs in the regular season and 8 home runs in the postseason.
This information quickly spread on social media, creating a wave of excitement not only among baseball fans but also among sports collectors in Japan, the US, and many other countries.
This isn’t simply a product promotion campaign.
For many fans, it’s a way to preserve one of the greatest seasons in modern baseball history.
According to initial images shared, each bottle design will recreate a different home run by Ohtani in the 2025 season.
From the season opener to the explosive postseason moments, the entire journey of 63 home runs will be transformed into an iconic collection.
This means fans can own each part of the season that helped Ohtani continue to solidify his position as the greatest baseball superstar in the world.
Many fans on social media have even called it:
“The most valuable baseball collectible of the year.”
The reason this campaign is so appealing lies in what Ohtani accomplished in 2025.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star finished the regular season with 55 home runs, setting a new personal best and becoming one of the most fearsome offensive seasons in Dodgers history.
But Ohtani didn’t stop there.
He continued his explosive postseason with 8 more home runs, playing a central role in the Dodgers’ championship run.
His surreal performances on both the mound and the batting box led many experts to call the 2025 season one of the most all-around years ever recorded in modern MLB.
It’s no coincidence that Ito En chose to undertake this ambitious project.
Ohtani has long been the global face of the Oi Ocha green tea brand and is considered the perfect symbol of the disciplined, persistent, and healthy image the company pursues.
The two parties have collaborated on many major campaigns in Japan and the US, including limited-edition bottles, global advertising, and the “Green Tea for Good” community project.
However, this collection of 63 bottles is considered the most ambitious project to date.
Immediately after the announcement, sports collecting forums and the Ohtani fan community erupted in excitement.
Many predicted that the rare bottles associated with Ohtani’s most historic home runs would quickly sell out upon release.
Some collectors in Japan even suggested that the value of the complete collection of 63 bottles could increase significantly in the future if Ohtani continues to build its legendary legacy.
This makes the project not only a brand promotion but also a cultural and sporting phenomenon.
Over the years, Shohei Ohtani has transcended the image of an ordinary baseball player.

He is a global icon.
He is the face of many major brands.
He is the pride of Japan.
And he is increasingly becoming one of the most commercially influential athletes on the planet.
The fact that his 63 home runs have been transformed into 63 unique designs shows the extraordinary stature Ohtani possesses in the modern sports world.
Some players are remembered for their trophies.
Some are remembered for their records.
But for Shohei Ohtani, the 2025 season is now being preserved in a completely different way: each home run is bottled, numbered, and transformed into a tangible memory for millions of fans.
And when these 63 special designs officially hit the market, they won’t just be green tea bottles.
They represent 63 chapters of a historic season.
A season that helped Shohei Ohtani take another giant step on his journey to becoming an immortal legend of world baseball.
