Ohtani Again Scores Most Popular Player Jersey in U.S., Japan and Globally

July 12th, 2024

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani ranked at the top of the most popular jersey list in Major League Baseball for the first half of the 2024 season. After finishing the 2023 season with the most popular jersey in the league, Ohtani remains the first Japanese player to lead the list since MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association began releasing jersey rankings in 2010. A true global superstar, Ohtani’s jersey surpassed all MLB players in the U.S., Japan and around the world.

Following Ohtani on the most popular player jersey list, released jointly today by MLB and the MLBPA, are the top All-Star vote-getters in each League, Bryce Harper (#2) of the Philadelphia Phillies and Aaron Judge (#3) of the New York Yankees.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, with the second-best record in the National League, lead the way with three players in the top 20: Ohtani, Mookie Betts (#4) and Freddie Freeman (#20). With the best record in baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies have multiple players in the top 20 for the first time since 2011. Joining Harper from Philadelphia is starting All-Star shortstop Trea Turner (#13). Cincinnati Reds sensation Elly De La Cruz (#15) and Baltimore Orioles All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman (#16) continue climbing the charts after their first appearances last season.

Nine of the players making up the 20 highest selling jerseys were born outside of the U.S., hailing from Japan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico.
