It’s official, Dodgers players are dominating MLB jersey sales, with six team members landing in the top 20 most popular jerseys across the league. Leading the pack is Shohei Ohtani, whose move to Los Angeles instantly turned him into a fan-favorite both locally and worldwide.
MLB jersey sales reflect L.A.’s Dodgers buzz
Ohtani’s jersey sits at No. 1 in overall sales, followed closely by Freddie Freeman at No. 2 and Mookie Betts at No. 4. It’s a clear sign that Dodgers fans, and baseball fans in general, are rallying around this new-look powerhouse roster.
Other Dodgers appearing in the top 20 include:
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto (#10), one of the league’s most-hyped international signings
- Clayton Kershaw (#11), a longtime fan favorite and franchise legend
- Kiké Hernández (#16), known for his energy and connection to LA fans
This wave of popularity signals more than just team success. It shows how the Dodgers are becoming a cultural brand, reaching beyond hardcore baseball followers.
Shohei Ohtani leads the MLB
The latest rankings are based on Nike jersey purchases across MLB’s official store network. Following a championship win and a high-profile opening series in Tokyo, the Dodgers’ momentum is translating directly to merchandise sales.
Ohtani’s continued dominance in jersey sales highlights not just his superstar status, but the global reach of the Dodgers brand. With Yoshinobu Yamamoto joining him in the top 10, the Dodgers are now the only team with two Japanese-born players ranked among MLB’s most popular jerseys, a milestone not seen in over a decade.
Their presence reflects a growing international fanbase and solidifies Los Angeles as a global hub for baseball. For local fans in LA, it means that Dodger Stadium is home to two of the most-watched, most-celebrated players in the world, and the merch numbers prove it.
What this means for Angelenos
Even if you’re not a sports expert, the rise of the Dodgers MLB jersey is something you’re likely to see around the city, on subways, at concerts, and in local shops. Players like Ohtani and Betts aren’t just athletes; they’re icons of the city’s style and spirit.
With LA stars dominating the jersey charts, it’s clear that the Dodgers aren’t just winning on the field. They’re winning in the hearts (and closets) of fans everywhere.
