Game 3 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night tied the record for the longest game in World Series history, extending all the way to the 18th inning before first baseman Freddie Freeman walked it off with a solo home run to give the Dodgers a 6-5 win and a 2-1 series lead.

The game itself was historic, but the performance from Shohei Ohtani was one for the record books as the two-way star continues to rewrite history each time he steps on the field.

Following his latest feat of reaching base a record nine times and becoming the second player in MLB history with four extra-base hits in a World Series game (Frank Isbell, 1906), ESPN insider Jeff Passan could not compliment the two-way star enough during a Tuesday appearance on "Get Up."

"If you want to say that this is the most talented player in baseball history, you would not be incorrect," Passan said. "If you want to call him the greatest player in baseball history, there's a really good argument to be made. But, the beauty of Shohei Ohtani is that just when you think he can't do something, he turns around and does it."

In Monday night's game alone, Ohtani was 4-for-4 with with two home runs, two doubles and five walks, four of which were intentional. Before Monday night, no player had ever reached base more than six times in a postseason game and Ohtani did it on nine occasions.

Ohtani is so feared when he steps to the plate that Toronto intentionally walked him with the bases empty, and he became the first player to be intentionally walked multiple times in the World Series.

As sensational as Ohtani was on Monday night, that type of performance on the big stage is certainly nothing new. After all, he put together arguably the best game ever played in Game 4 of the NLCS when he pitched six innings of shutout baseball, struck out 10 batters and hit three home runs. 

Ohtani's ability to play his best when the stakes are the highest is something that really impresses Passan, especially considering we never got to see him in postseason action until he joined the Dodgers.

"The limitations, they don't exist with him, and the beauty of Shohei Ohtani is that he steps up in these big moments," Passan continued. "We didn't see it with the Los Angeles Angels because they never made the playoffs when he was there. But in just two years with the Dodgers, the stamp that he has put on that organization, on Major League Baseball and on his career and legacy, it's innumerable."

As if the historic night in Game 3 was not enough, Ohtani is scheduled to start in Game 4 on Tuesday night as the Dodgers look to put the Blue Jays on the brink of elimination. 

It is just the latest sign of his greatness and why he is already being considered the greatest to ever play the game. At just 31 years old, Ohtani still has a lot of his career in front of him as well, giving him more time to add some historical moments to a career already full of them.
