About this episode

The episode discusses Shohei Ohtani's 300th home run and the Dodgers' winning culture.

Shohei Ohtani has reached 300 career home runs, the Dodgers continue to dominate the NL West, and we're sending all our love to Eliézer Alfonzo Jr. and Venezuela.This week on Talk Dodgers to Me, Melissa joins Jaclyn on zoom from New Jersey for a conversation about Shohei Ohtani’s historic 300th career home run, the Dodgers’ incredible culture, and why they’re continuing to separate themselves from the rest of baseball.The Dodgers aren’t just winning because of talent—they’ve built a culture rooted in curiosity, growth, trust, and constantly getting better. We explore how that mindset has become one of the organization’s greatest strengths and why curiosity might be one of the most important qualities for success, both on and off the field.Melissa also shares reflections from spending time back home with family in New Jersey and how stepping away for a few days can bring fresh perspective before some exciting events in NYC! Subscribe to Talk Dodgers to Me for new episodes every week, and remember—it’s always more than baseball.
