Beyond 56 Ichi, MLB broke a new record for the most stolen bases in a single season by an Asian player
Shohei Ohtani (30) of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who achieved 50 home runs and 50 steals for the first time in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), added one stolen base in an away game against the Colorado Rockies on the 29th, achieving his 58th stolen base of the season. Ohtani, who broke the record for the most stolen bases in a single MLB season with his 57th stolen base of the season on the 28th, is expected to challenge the "superhuman" record of 55 home runs and 60 steals in the final game of the regular season on the 30th.
Ohtani, who started as the first designated hitter on the day, got on base with a hit that hit the right fence in the top of the first inning. Ohtani, who was grounded out to shortstop in the top of the second inning, walked at his third at-bat as the leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning, and stole his 58th base of the season by stealing a base.
Ohtani, who added one stolen base to record his 57th stolen base of the season in the previous game on the 28th, set a new record for the most stolen bases in a single MLB season, exceeding the 56th stolen base set by Ichiro Suzuki, and added one more stolen base on the same day, renewing the record for the most stolen bases in a single season by an Asian player.
Ohtani seemed to have succeeded in stealing second base after drawing a walk in the third at-bat in the fifth inning, but the 59th stolen base was canceled as the official record keeper corrected the record from the steal to the base due to the pitcher's balk. 먹튀검증
Taking the lead again with his team leading 8-2 in the top of the sixth inning, Ohtani made a multi-hit game by hitting a right-handed hit again in the full count of three balls and two strikes in his fourth at-bat. Ohtani then finished the game by hitting a fly to right field in his fifth at-bat in the top of the seventh inning with two outs and a ground ball to the second base in the top of the ninth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases. He had two hits, one walk, and one stolen base from five times at bat.
Ohtani, who hit a big superior three-run with runners on the second and third bases with no outs in the top of the sixth inning of the game on the 28th, hit his 54th home run of the season, and recorded four hits, four RBIs, two runs and one stolen base in five at-bats, virtually confirmed the National League's home run king. He is also likely to achieve the true record of being the first player to record more than 50 steals in MLB since Tris Speaker (10 homers and 52 steals) in 1912.
Following starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto's good pitching, the Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 13-2 with the batting line evenly.
