Shohei Ohtani has co-written a children's book featuring his dog, Decoy. The Los Angeles Dodgers star shared the news Thursday on Instagram, posting a photo of Decoy, a Dutch Kooikerhondje, with the book.

Apparently re-writing the record books was not quite enough for Shohei Ohtani. Now he's writing his own book. The three-time MVP and two-way superstar will soon be able to add published author to his lengthy list of accomplishments.

Why does it seem like the race for the National League Most Valuable Player is over? Why do so many people think it's such a foregone conclusion? Is it driven by narrative? Star power?  Pretty much everyone believes Shohei Ohtani is going to win the NL MVP.

Add some whimsy to your decor with FOCO’s Shohei Ohtani Los Angeles Dodgers Boys Of Summer Tiki Bobblehead. This beach-inspired collectible has a limited run of just 225 and is now available for preorder for $90. Limit of two per person.

The Dodgers will open up the second half of the season on Friday night against the Milwaukee Brewers as they look to win the National League West yet again.
