Dodgers Fan's Custom Shohei Ohtani Jersey You Have to See to Believe

Wondering how to support your favorite player on a budget? Look no further than this fan, who cleverly used duct tape to put together his own custom Shohei Ohtani jersey.

The fan turned a Los Angeles Dodgers No. 17 jersey into an Ohtani one by spelling out the name "Ohtani" on the back of the jersey with duct tape. The lettering might not be as precise as a typical Ohtani jersey, but the name is visible and the tape gets the job done.

With how pricey sports jerseys have become, this fan made the economical choice. Many sports jerseys cost upwards of $100, and many Ohtani jerseys cost upwards of $130.

The fan is debuting the new jersey as Ohtani makes his regular season home debut for the Dodgers at Dodger stadium. After the Dodgers signed Ohtani to a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million contract this offseason, the two-time AL MVP is expected to make a huge impact with the Dodgers this season as he only hits.

During his first two Dodger regular season games in South Korea, Ohtani had three hits, two RBIs and one run.
