Ohtani’s Big Milestone in Jeopardy? The Dodgers’ Star Struggles in Angels Showdown

Daniel Kim Views  

Yonhap News

In MLB, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers is pushing for the historic 50 home runs-50 stolen bases milestone, a feat never achieved in major league history. However, he hit a snag in his quest during a game against his former team, the Los Angeles Angels. On September 5 in Anaheim, Ohtani went 0-for-4 at the plate, missing out on both a home run and a stolen base.

The previous day, Ohtani had managed one hit and one walk. This recent performance marks the first time since August 28, when the Dodgers faced the Baltimore Orioles, that Ohtani has gone two games in a row without hitting a home run or stealing a base. Having played with the Angels from 2018 until last season, this game held extra significance for him.

Despite this recent hiccup, with 22 regular season games left, Ohtani still has a strong chance to reach the 50-50 mark. He boasts 44 home runs and 46 stolen bases, and he’s expected to add roughly one of each every few games.

Post-game predictions from MLB.com suggest Ohtani could finish the season with 51 home runs and 53 stolen bases.
