Shohei Ohtani continues to show why he is one of the best baseball players in the MLB today
Shohei Ohtani continues to show why he is one of the best baseball players currently in the MLB. With the Los Angeles Dodgers, he has remained the standard-bearer based on his good performances in his at-bats.
This weekend, in the matchup against the Athletics, he went 30-30 for the first time in his career (home runs and stolen bases), making him only the third Dodgers player to do so.
The other Dodgers players to get 30-30
Shohei Ohtani joined the select group along with Dominican Raúl Mondesí (1997-1999) and American Matt Kemp (2011), who also achieved a 30-30 with the California team.
His talent as a pitcher has yet to be seen since he is still recovering from the surgery he underwent a few months ago; everything seems to indicate that he will return to the pitching mound for the next season.
The Japanese two-way player is leading the National League in runs scored with 85, home runs with 33, has a .309 average, a .627 slugging, a 1.027 OPS, a 187 OPS+, and has accumulated 266 total bases.
