Los Angeles Dodgers Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani has been on fire this season and is once again on his way to a major league record. According to the analysis of Japanese media "Nikkan Sports" columnist Ryoichi Fukushima, Ohtani is currently not only the home run king of the National League with 23 hits, but also is expected to challenge the legendary star "God of Baseball" Babe Ruth (Babe Ruth) has a record that no one has been able to break in the past 100 years.
Looking back on last year, Ohtani delivered an astonishing "50-50" result of 54 hits and 59 thieves, setting a record for the first time in history and shaking the football world. This season's striking firepower continues to be hot, with 23 hits so far, ranking first in the league with 66 points, and 39 points, showing a stable output at the MVP level.
In his column, Fukushima noted that Ohtani had accumulated 63 points by the end of May, the fastest player to reach 60 points since 1900, giving him a chance to challenge Babe Ruth's single-season record of 177 points set in 1921. At the same time, if Ohtani maintains his firepower this season, he is expected to challenge the god-level record of "60 hits - 100 dots - 150 points" set by Babe Ruth in 1927. Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, 165 RBIs and scored 158 points in a single season, a statistic that no one has yet touched.
Fukushima further pointed out that even if the threshold is lowered to "45 hits - 100 points - 150 points", only five players in history have ever met the target, namely Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio and Jeff Bagwell, which shows the rarity and difficulty of this record.
