Ohtani is doing this with 50 home runs, 150 runs, 400 hits? There's only Ruth Fox, and then Schwaber will win with 60 home runs and 140 RBIs

Ohtani played as a leadoff designated hitter in the first of three consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium on the 30th (Korea time) and recorded only one hit and one walk in three at-bats. The Dodgers lost 0-3 on three hits.
Ohtani continued his hit streak in three consecutive games, but the cannon stopped running for the fourth game and scored only one more in the last four games.
He marked a batting average of 0.278 (142 hits in 511 at-bats), 45 homers, 85 RBIs, 123 points, 90 walks, 156 strikeouts, 17 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.388, a slugging percentage of 0.607, an OPS of 0.995, and 310 hits.

If you vote for NL MVP now, you can't guarantee that you'll beat Schwaber Ohtani. Moreover, depending on how many home runs Schwarber adds in the remaining month of the season, votes can be shaken greatly.
Schwaber can hit 59 arithmetically by applying the pace so far. It is possible to reach 60 home runs beyond Ryan Howard's 58 home runs in 2006, the most in a single season for the Philadelphia team.
The 60th home run in the NL has lost its reputation since Barry Bonds (73) and Sammy Sosa (64) in 2001. The 60 home runs, which were unlikely to be seen again after the steroid days around 2000, were reproduced in 21 years in 2022 when Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees set an AL season record with 62 home runs.
If Schwarber reaches 60 home runs, it will be the first record in 24 years in the NL. Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh (50), the No. 1 overall home run, is arithmetically capable of 60 home runs, which is a point to watch for the rest of the season when both leagues will produce 60 home run hitters side by side. Moreover, Schwarber is the overwhelming leader in both leagues with 119 RBIs. Unless something unexpected happens with a 143-run pace, he is likely to win the NL home run and RBI title.

Ruta is 372 pace, and it seems difficult to hit 400 for the second consecutive year.

Ohtani hit 411 hits last year when he hit 50 home runs and 50 steals for the first time in history, and reached the 400-base mark for the first time in 23 years since Sosa and four others in 2001. If he reaches 400 hits again this year, he will become the first player to achieve 400 hits for two consecutive years in 24 years since Todd Helton in 2000-2001.
MLB.com said 'Otani is currently on a 372-run pace, but once he gets in the mood, he can get on track for a 400-run. "In theory, 150 points can be a safe bet as well," he said. "Joe DiMaggio (151 points, 418 hits) scored 400 and 150 points in history was the last in 1937. "
Then, who was the last to hit 50 home runs, 150 points, and 400 hits.
In history, 50 homers, 150 runs, and 400 hits in a season have been achieved by only two players, Babe Ruth and Jimmy Fox. The New York Yankees Ruth wrote twice, including 1921 (59 homers, 177 runs, 457 hits) and 1927 (60 homers, 158 runs, 417 hits), and Fox scored 151 runs, 58 homers and 438 hits in 1932 during the Philadelphia Athletics. Ohtani is the fourth player in his career and the third player to try this milestone.
If so, it seems that he will be able to sufficiently surpass Schwarber's 60 home runs and 140 RBIs and secure his fourth MVP in his career.
