LA Dodgers Shohei Ohtani has ended another historic season.

In the final regular season game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on the 29th (Korea time), Ohtani led the Seattle Mariners to a 6-1 victory by hitting three hits, one RBI and two runs from five times at bat, including a home run.

Ohtani, who played his 10th three-hit game this season, left a milestone in Major League history as well as the Dodgers.




Playing in 158 games as a batter this year, he batted 0.282 (172 hits in 611 at-bats), 55 home runs, 102 RBIs, 146 runs, 109 walks, 187 strikeouts, 20 steals, 0.392 on-base percentage, 0.622 slugging percentage, 1.014 OPS, 380 hits, and 89 long hits. The two leagues combined to rank No. 1 in scoring, slugging, and slugging, and No. 1 in NL in slugging percentage, OPS, and wRC+ (170).

In addition, Ohtani, who returned to the mound in June, started 14 games as a pitcher and pitched 47 innings, marking a 1-1 record with a 2.87 ERA, 62 strikeouts, WHIP 1.04, and a 0.227 hit rate. In particular, against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 24th, his last appearance of the season, he pitched the first six innings of the year, signaling that he returned as an ace with five hits, eight strikeouts and no runs.

WAR, which combined pitching and hitting, ranks third in the NL with the bWAR (bWAR) at 7.5, and the fan graph (fWAR) ranks first with 9.4.

Some experts say Ohtani, who returned to the combined hitting and hitting 'Complete', had a greater season than last year, when he hit 50 home runs and 50 steals. I understand when I see fWAR. Since 2021, when Ohtani started his career as a double hitter, his fWARs stood at 8.0, 9.2, 8.9, and 8.9, respectively. In other words, this year's fWAR hit career highs.

Manager Dave Roberts said on the day he ended the regular season, `He's in postseason mode now, he's always been in postseason mode"His September was truly fantastic. You could see the quality of the batting and the force on the mound. It's not that surprising that he broke his record. It's been an incredible season. We still have a long way to go now."

Let's take a look at the milestone set by Ohtani.




First of all, he broke the Dodgers record for the most home runs in a season in a year, which he set last year. Ohtani hit 54 home runs last year, breaking Sean Green's record of 49 home runs set in 2001 for the first time in 23 years. I hit one more than that this year.

In addition, Ohtani recorded a total of 109 homers in the first two seasons after moving to the Dodgers. This is tied for second all-time in home runs in the first two seasons of a team. Babe Ruth hit a combined 113 home runs in the two seasons of 2020 and 2021 when he moved to the New York Yankees, and Alex Rodriguez moved to the Texas Rangers in 2001 and hit 109 home runs in the first two seasons until 2022.

Ohtani also broke the Dodgers record for most runs in a single season since 1900, the starting point of modern baseball. This is 10 points above the 134 points he set last year. He also had 102 RBIs, the majority of which was 55, which brought him in. This is because the home run exceeded half of the RBI. It is a true record that he can play as a leadoff.

It is also the minimum RBI record among hitters who have drawn more than 55 arches in a season. In 1997, Mark Maguire hit 58 home runs, with 123 RBIs, the previous minimum.

Upon returning to the mound, the number of stolen bases was drastically reduced from 59 last year to 20, a third, but he achieved 40 home runs-20 steals for the fourth time in his career and was the only one in history to draw 50 home runs-20 steals twice.

Ohtani's 50 home runs and 50 strikeouts in a season are also one of the first major records in history this year.

Now Ohtani has to start against the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Series, and Roberts said, `The more rest he took, the better his pitching was. I will play in one of the three WCS games." For now, Blake Snell is likely to start in the first game.
