Even the god of baseball can't achieve this! Shohei Ohtani sets an unprecedented record in history.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Japanese star Shohei Ohtani continues to break records with incredible power, hitting his 37th home run of the season in the first inning against the Twins on the 24th. He not only achieved home runs in five consecutive games, tying the Dodgers' longest record, but also became the National League home run leader. According to data expert Greg Harvey, Ohtani accumulated 8 home runs and 10 strikeouts in July, marking the eighth time in his career that he has reached the "8 home runs and 10 strikeouts" milestone in a single month, making him the only player to accomplish this since 1901; even the "god of baseball," Babe Ruth, never achieved this.

Additionally, according to the data website OptaSTATS, Ohtani has become the first left-handed hitter in modern baseball (since 1901) to create the record of "five consecutive games with home runs and five consecutive successful steals" in the Major Leagues.

In this game, Ohtani's home run in the first inning had an exit velocity of 110.3 mph (approximately 177.5 km/h) and traveled a distance of 441 feet. This set a new record for the most home runs in the first 103 games in Dodgers' history (37 home runs), surpassing the 35 home runs of the legendary Duke Snider from 1955. Furthermore, he is the seventh player in Dodgers' history to achieve five consecutive games with home runs, with the last active player to do so being Aaron Judge of the Yankees.

Ohtani's batting remains hot in July, and he has also contributed on the pitching side, accumulating 10 strikeouts this month, further polishing his "two-way" reputation. He is currently just 17 home runs away from his career-high of 54, with a good chance of claiming the home run title again.

Although he has returned to being a two-way player this season, Ohtani continues to fully support the team with his batting. Manager Dave Roberts stated, "Our primary goal is to win, but given Ohtani's current form, 50 home runs are definitely within his sights. If he keeps playing like this, it will naturally happen."

The Dodgers will next visit Boston to challenge the Red Sox, and Ohtani also has the chance to challenge the Major League record of "eight consecutive games with home runs," held jointly by Dale Long, Don Mattingly, and Ken Griffey Jr. In response, Roberts jokingly said, "I don't know the answer, but given Ohtani's power and the distance to left field at Fenway Park, it's definitely not impossible. We'll wait and see."
