do it now Ohtani, who broke my record, will summon the first ML legend record in 93 years if I add 1 home run and 15 more runs

Ohtani added one score against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on the 15th (Korea time) to score 135 in the season. Ohtani, who finished the previous five at-bats helplessly with a strikeout, a fly ball to left field, a string ball to left field, and a fly ball to center field, went out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the ninth inning with a 9-2 lead and hit a high cutter in the middle of the 92.5-mile first pitch of San Francisco right-hander Carson Seymour to lead to a hit in front of center fielder Lee Jung-hoo.
It was like Lee Jung-hoo and shortstop Willy Adames made a hit. Adames looked at the ball and ran back and pretended to catch it. Because of this, Lee Jung-hoo ran forward, but did not sprint. The ball fell between the two players and did not touch anyone's glove.
The 53-degree launch angle, 83.8-mile batting speed and 221-foot-distance hit allowed Ohtani to continue his on-base record for 19 consecutive games.

Ohtani, who scored one hit and one run in six at-bats, hit 0.281 (158 hits in 563 at-bats), 49 homers, 93 RBIs, 135 runs and an OPS of 1.000. Scoring and Ruta are ranked first in both leagues, while slugging percentage and OPS are also ranked first in NL. It is safe to say that he has virtually confirmed his fourth MVP in his life.
However, Ohtani's score on the day exceeded the maximum 134 points in the Dodgers franchise he set last year.
The Dodgers' record for most goals scored in a single season is 148 set by Herb Collins in 1890, who participated in the NL during her time in Brooklyn. Since 1900, the starting point of modern baseball, Babe Herman scored 143 points in 1930.
However, since 1958, when the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, Ohtani's 134 points set last year is the highest. It is the first time in a year that Freddie Freeman scored 131 points in 2023, the previous season. And he broke his own record again in a year, marking a page in Dodgers history.

With the pace applied so far, Ohtani can score 147 points. Objectively, although it can catch up with Collins' record in 1890, beyond Herman's 1930 record, it seems difficult to score up to 150 points.
The last 150 points in the major leagues was 152 marked by Houston Astros Jeff Bagwell in 2000. If Ohtani achieves 150 points, he will be Bagwell's comrade for the first time in 25 years.
In addition, Ohtani will hit another 50 homers following last year if he adds one, and 50 homers for the second consecutive year is a historic milestone achieved by only five players, including Babe Ruth, Mark Maguire, Ken Griffey Jr., Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez,
If Ohtani adds one home run and 15 runs to achieve 50 home runs and 150 runs in a season at the same time, he will become the third main character in history after Babe Ruth (1920, 1921, 1927, 1928) and Jimmy Fox (1932). In one way or another, Ohtani's last-minute move of the season is waiting for a series of historical records.
