33 stolen bases… 6th in MLB history
As expected, he is not a ‘superstar’ for nothing. Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers, pictured) has taken a step closer to joining the 40 home run-40 stolen base club.
On the 14th, Ohtani started as the designated hitter in the away game against Milwaukee in the Major League Baseball (MLB) and hit his 37th home run of the season. Ohtani, who has 33 stolen bases this season, can become the 6th member of the 40 home run-40 stolen base club in MLB history if he adds 3 more home runs and 7 more stolen bases.
Ohtani is also the first Asian hitter to join the 30-homer-30-steal club in MLB this season. Ohtani joined the club with 33 home runs and 30 steals through the Oakland game on the 4th, and added four home runs and three stolen bases in the next 10 days.
The visit to Milwaukee on the 14th was the Dodgers’ 120th game of the season. Ronald Acuna Jr. (27, Atlanta), who became the fifth member of the 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases club in MLB history last year with 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases, had 27 home runs and 55 stolen bases by the team’s 120th game.
Otani, who is focusing only on hitting due to an elbow injury, can record 50 home runs and 45 stolen bases this season. Previously, he recorded 46 home runs and 26 stolen bases as a member of the LA Angels in 2021, when he was selected as the American League MVP while playing both pitcher and hitter. He is setting a new record every time he succeeds in stealing a base, and his home runs are also on track to surpass his personal best.
The Dodgers won 7-2 against Milwaukee on this day, making it five straight wins. The Dodgers, who are in first place in the National League West, have a record of 71 wins and 49 losses (a winning percentage of 0.592) as of this day. They are tied for first place in the highest winning percentage among the 30 teams in the two major MLB leagues, along with Cleveland (71 wins and 49 losses), who are in first place in the American League Central Division.
