Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers), who set the first record in the history of Major League Baseball, has finished a great season. Now Ohtani is preparing for his first postseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers played an away game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on the 30th (Korea time).
Ohtani, who started as the first and designated hitter of the Los Angeles Dodgers on the day, had one hit and one stolen base from four times at bat. He had a hit and a stolen base in his last at-bat.
Ohtani hit a hit to right field by Colorado relief pitcher Victor Vodnick with one out and a runner on first in the eighth inning when the score was tying 1-1. He has had hits in 12 consecutive games in recent weeks.
Later, Ohtani made a double steal along with second baseman Austin Barnes with one out and runners on first and second bases. This marked Ohtani’s 59th stolen base of the season in three consecutive games. 안전놀이터
Earlier, Ohtani made two attempts to steal bases against Colorado on the 29th and succeeded in all of them. However, since then, the stolen base has been corrected to balk, leaving a regret.
Of course, even if Ohtani fails to hit 60 steals, the value of the record will not be undermined. Ohtani has boasted faster feet than anyone else this season.
After Ohtani and Barnes stole bases, the Los Angeles Dodgers succeeded in turning the tables 2-1 with Seth Halborsen’s balk on the second and third bases with one out.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, which succeeded in turning the tables, led the final game of the regular season to a 2-1 victory with a perfect pitch from Edgardo Enriquez in the ninth inning.
Thanks to this result, the LA Dodgers recorded 98 wins and 64 losses and a 0.605 winning rate for this season. The only winning rate in the Major League is 60 percent. The LA Dodgers can take home advantage of the game to the World Series.
Ohtani, who finished the great season, hit 0.310 with 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, 134 runs, 197 hits, 59 steals, and 0.390 OPS 1.036 in 159 games of the season.
In the last game, Ohtani only had one hit from four times at bat, but failed to achieve three hits. However, Ohtani opened the door to 50-50 for the first time in Major League history.
He also virtually confirmed his third MVP award with 400 hits in 23 years and a new record for the most stolen bases in an Asian season.
