Will Shohei Ohtani (30), the Los Angeles Dodgers, break the Los Angeles Dodgers record for the first time in 94 years? It is his record for the number of long balls.
Ohtani started as the first designated hitter at an away game between the Atlanta Braves and the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday (Korea time), and had no hits, two RBIs, one run and one walk in four times at bat. Despite four hits and an empty stomach, the Dodgers won the game 9-0.
After striking out in the top of the first inning, Ohtani entered the batter’s box for the second time in the top of the third inning with two outs and a third base opportunity when the two teams were tied 0-0. At this time, third baseman Miguel Rojas scored on Max Fried’s wild pitch, and the runner disappeared. Ohtani succeeded in getting on base with a straight walk, but failed to steal second base.
Ohtani took the batter’s box for the third time in the top of the fifth inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases. Ohtani hit a double play in front of the shortstop here, but he was able to survive thanks to his fast foot. Ohtani’s fourth at-bat came in the top of the seventh inning with one out and a bases loaded. Ohtani hit a ground ball to the second base, and Atlanta second baseman Witte Merrifield attempted to throw a home throw (field selection), but became a safety. Ohtani scored when Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer with two outs. He struck out swinging in the last at-bat in the ninth inning.
In 147 games this season, Ohtani has a batting average of 0.288 (168 hits in 583 times at bat), 47 homers, 32 doubles, seven triples, 108 RBIs, 118 runs, 153 strikeouts with 77 walks, 48 steals (four failed), and an on-base percentage of 0.609 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.982. He has only three homers and two stolen bases to reach the milestone of 50 homers and 50 steals, which no one has achieved in the history of the Major League. 토토사이트
In addition, Ohtani is challenging another club record. That is the number of long balls. Ohtani has 47 homers, 32 doubles and seven triples, respectively, bringing the total number of long balls this season to 86. According to ESPN, the late Babe Herman (born June 26, 1903 – died November 27, 1987) is the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Herman was a member of the Brooklyn Robins in 1930, before the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, and had a total of 94 long balls. Ohtani now approaches this record by a gap of eight.
Ohtani will now have an away game against the Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida at 7:40 a.m. on Saturday. Since joining the Major League in 2018, Ohtani has played in two games at Rondipo Park. He has recorded one hit, two RBIs, one run, two steals, two walks and one strikeout from seven times at bat, but has never hit a home run yet.
Ohtani has recorded no homeruns and no stolen bases in four consecutive games. He has recorded no homeruns and no stolen bases during four consecutive games against the Atlanta Braves that he played since Sunday. He had no hits and two strikeouts from four times at bat on Sunday, before bowing down to one strikeout from two times at bat on Sunday. He had two hits and four RBIs from four times at bat on Sunday, but had no hits from four times at bat again on Sunday. Will Ohtani be able to recover from Monday? There are 12 games left.
