Los Angeles Dodgers Designated Hitter Shohei Ohtani Continues Tremendous Home Run Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers Designated Hitter Shohei Ohtani led off tonight’s game against the Boston Red Sox with a home run. It was his sixth home run in his last seven games. The reigning National League MVP is in the midst of a career stretch.
Ohtani is putting together another MVP-caliber campaign. He is second in the league in home runs, 12th in RBI, second in Slugging Percentage, and second in OPS. Can the Japanese phenom keep playing at such a high level?
Shohei Ohtani Career Summary
Ohtani’s accolades are too numerous to list. He is a five-time MLB All-Star, three-time MVP, three-time Silver Slugger, Rookie of the Year, and World Series champion. He is one of the most talented players to ever appear in Major League Baseball. When he signed his contract with the Dodgers in December 2023, it was the richest in North American professional sports history. One year later, Juan Soto set the record for the largest contract in history.
Final Thoughts
Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers return to the diamond tomorrow afternoon for the final game of their three-game set against the Boston Red Sox. If the reigning National League MVP can keep it up this summer, he will earn back-to-back MVP honors.
