Shohei Ohtani Breaks Record for Stolen Bases

Shohei Ohtani has made history by stealing 57 bases this MLB season, surpassing Ichiro Suzuki's previous record for Japanese-born players. Ohtani, who also hit his 54th home run of the season, is the first player ever to have two months with double digits in both home runs and stolen bases, achieving this feat consecutively in August and September. He is currently batting .305 and is a strong contender for the MVP award, having joined the 50-50 club with his performance this season. Additionally, Ohtani has maintained an impressive streak of 34 consecutive stolen bases without being caught, ranking second in Dodgers franchise history. With two regular season games left, he continues to chase potential Triple Crown honors and could further elevate his already historic season. Ohtani's achievements have solidified his position as one of the most valuable players in baseball, justifying his $700 million contract with the Dodgers.
