The Seoul Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres is fast approaching, and so is the much anticipated arrival of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Ha-Seong Kim.
The first leg of the MLB World Tour 2024 should be the most sought after, because of the sheer star power involved. Recently announced is the line of official gear for the Seoul Series from New Era Korea and F&F (official licensee of MLB caps and apparel in Korea).
Many options are only for sale in Korea, but it wouldn’t be surprising for expansion to global markets to become available as Opening Day of the 2024 season nears.
Also for purchase is a cap featuring both the Dodgers and Padres in a side-by-side design with team logos.

Tickets for the Seoul Series are expected to be in incredibly high demand, as several outlets are exclusive-only retailers for admission.
The Dodgers and Padres will also play in exhibition games prior to their Seoul Series.
Shohei Ohtani expected to be in Dodgers lineup for Seoul Series
The goal for Ohtani in Spring Training is to reach 50 at-bats, and already getting that count started, he’s on track to easily achieve the goal to prepare himself for the start of the season.
“I’m very confident, because we’re right on schedule,” Ohtani recently said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.
