Shohei Ohtani’s wife Mamiko didn’t travel to the road postseason games with the other Los Angeles Dodgers WAGs. She wasn’t missing the World Series that opens up Friday night at the Toronto Blue Jays where she stood out in a photo before first pitch.

Mamiko and Shohei had their first child with a daughter back in April and she’s been taking care of her back home while the three-time MLB MVP and the defending champions took care of business on the field.

She did, however, show up to the home games where she stood out in a unique fit in a WAGs’ pregame photo, and then matched them in all-black for another game. She followed it up with a custom “17” fit as well.

Mamiko was also at Ohtani’s epic three-home run, master-class pitching performance in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers that will forever live in baseball lore and put the team back in the big show.

On Friday, the former basketball player smiled with the rest of the girls standing out with her height as a former professional basketball player at the very top left.

She’s listed at 5-foot-11 officially.

Mamiko hopes being there will bring Ohtani and the team good luck to open their title defense.

She was last year in the World Series as seen posing with Freddie Freeman’s wife Chelsea Freeman and Mookie Betts’ wife Brianna.
