Most Popular MLB Jerseys 2023- Shohei Ohtani Does It Twice in a Season!
What guys are making it onto The Most Popular MLB Jerseys 2023 list? Basically, your FAVES. It is a lineup full of All Stars, elites and record breakers.
This year Shohei Ohtani is taking the top spot; but his reign is not surprising. Ohtani, despite Stephen A. Smith’s claim that Shohei “does not put butts in seats;” is easily helping fans part with their money when it comes to merchandise. His jersey garners the highest percent of sales and he did not even play the entire 2023 season due to injury.
At the halfway mark of the season, reports state that the Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. was leading the charge in jerseys sales. However, he would not keep the top spot. 2024’s most discussed free agent would become king of the merch. Yet, when you look at other evidence throughout the year, you really can’t be that astonished.
For instance, consider the 2023 All Star Game. Some 81 other players are apart of this fan favorite event. Yet, Shohei Ohtani sold the most merchandise.
How much exactly? 15 percent? Nope. 20? Nada. How about 25 percent? Nah, more than that.
Turns out Shohei Ohtani accounts for 28% of all All Star Game jersey and merchandise sales. Yes, one player alone is raking in one third of the money from merchandise for the MLB. Now, that is some true star power!

Additionally, Ohtani’s popularity continues to soar thanks to his play on the field and being apart of MVP talks. All you have to do is say that the guy should have won instead of Aaron Judge (2022) and watch the fun ensue. It’s bananas.
Nevertheless, MVP or not, Ohtani is doing things in the modern era that no other player can do. He is a two way player that is elite in pitching as well as batting. The modern ‘Babe Ruth’ if you will. And he is stellar at both, making his way onto sports highlight reels almost daily.
Therefore, it is not that shocking that Ohtani is the first Japanese MLB player to top the list of popular jerseys. He’s special. And he’s amazing.
