LA Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani got closer to 50-50, pouring out three steals at once.
On the 3rd (Korea time), Ohtani led the Arizona Diamondbacks to an 11-to-6 victory with two hits, two runs, two walks, and three steals in four at-bats against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.
After successfully stealing his 44th, 45th and 46th stolen bases for this season, Ohtani marked 44 homers and 46th stolen bases for this season, and left six homers and four stolen bases for 50-50 games. Depending on the situation, Ohtani is highly likely to hit 50 steals first.
Ohtani, who was designated as the designated hitter for leadoff, had a hit at his first at bat in the top of the first inning. On the Arizona left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, he hit a clean hit by pulling a 91.8 mile sinker on the fourth pitch at the 2B1S ball count, and hitting a line drive in front of the right field. The batting speed reached a whopping 117.2 miles. However, as Mubi Betts hit a double play on the second base, he was forced out from the second base.
Ohtani took the batter’s box in the third inning with Chris Taylor’s double to the center of the fence, pulled Rodriguez’s 84.1 mile slider on the outside of the eighth pitch, hit a grounder to the second base, and sent the leading runner to the third base. Then, the Dodgers took a 3-0 lead thanks to Betts’ timely hit and Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer to the left.
Ohtani walked in the fourth inning with a 3-1 lead, and recorded his first stolen base on the day. Ohtani, who took the batter’s box for the third time with runners on the first and third bases with two outs, drew a straight walk from Rodriguez. Then, he took advantage of an 87.5-mile changeup in which Rodriguez threw out the fourth pitch, and ran to the second base, safely. Arizona catcher Adrian Del Castillo checked Betts’ check swing, which threw the bat toward the first base without making a throw, to see if he thought it was too late to throw it to the second base. 먹튀검증
As a result, Ohtani, who drew his 44th arch of the season by hitting a solo home run in the first inning against Arizona on the 1st, reached the first 44-44 in history as he hit the same steal level in two days.
Ohtani scored one home run and two steals against the Baltimore Orioles on the 29th of last month, tied with Alex Rodriguez (42 home runs, 46 steals) in 1998, and reached 43-43 against Arizona on August 31.
However, again this time, Betts hit a fly ball to center field and did not reach home.
In his fourth at-bat in the seventh inning with a 3-1 lead, Ohtani made another line drive hit and stole second and third bases in a row. He drew a 92-mile sinker on the second pitch by opposing left-hander Jordan Montgomery and hit a flying hit to the right at 99.6 miles.
Ohtani then ran to the second base while his second pitch, 92.9 miles sinker, was stuck in the strike zone outside the batter’s box, and ran to the third base without a break, succeeding in stealing the third base on the day. Ohtani stole bases at 45,46 and reached base only once. Ohtani then homered with Freeman’s sacrifice fly to left field, and scored a run.
Ohtani added a walk and a run in the eighth inning while his team was running 11-3 by scoring five runs. Ohtani, who got on base with a full count walk from right-hander Slade Sekoni with two outs and runners on the first base, homered with Taylor on Betts’ left double, widening the gap to 8-3. The Dodgers continued to seal the victory with Freeman’s two-run shot to the center and Tommy Edman’s timely hit. Ohtani, who also took the batter’s box in the ninth inning, was struck out by a rookie.
It is the second time in his career that Ohtani has marked three steals in a game, following the Oakland Athletics on August 4. With this, Ohtani marked a batting average of 0.293 (157 hits in 537 at-bats), 44 homers, 98 RBIs, 109 runs, 71 walks, 46 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.377, a slugging percentage of 0.616 and an OPS of 0.993.
The Dodgers, which finished the four away games against Arizona with three wins and one loss, marked 83 wins and 55 losses, leading the overall winning rate in the Major League.
