Happy birthday, Shohi! Ohtani's biggest career achievements

Los Angeles Dojers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani turned 31 on Saturday, in their eighth MLB season and in the second with other doors; Ohtani spent the first six seasons of his career with Los Angeles Angels (2018-23).

Ohtani recently created his first outing in the form of an early pitcher since August 2023, when he faced a second torn collateral ligament. Instead of undergoing surgery immediately, the Ohtani process was waiting until the season … and was actually played in the second game of the doublehead that day when she hurt, as a DH with a double with 1 -for -5.

Such asymmetry is an odd experience, distilled. A player who can finish fourth in Sai Young Voting and MVP in the same season in the same season, as he did in 2022, which could still be one of the most productive players in baseball for a better part of two years, while not even half of his job.

Keeping all of them in mind, here are some of the best MLB tricks of Ohtani.

2023 MVP unanimously

Is this a deception because Ohtani was injured in August in the second-tomat beginning, so close to the end of the season? It may feel that way, but the beginning of the beginning of five weeks and “bus” ended that part of his season quickly before being a hitter, also further emphasized how ridiculous he was. Ostani managed to be worthy of 10 wins above replacement as per the baseball context, and 8.9 by fangfs despite lost time. No one – Kori Seer, Marcus Semian – was close to those numbers in full season, and Ohtani was unanimously awarded the second MVP of his career.

Largest contract in pro sports

Ohtani may have his second Tommy John Surgery on 1 October 2023, but did not slow down its offsen. Despite knowing that he would not be a pitcher for at least 2024, the teams prepared to keep Ohthani in court-this was the doseers who were finally able to seal the deal, the desire to win with the desire to agree with some non-standard contract situations due to the desire of Ohthani. Ohtani’s base deal was an MLB record and the largest in the game, 10 years and $ 700 million. Now, almost all have been postponed – $ 68 million per season – according to the calculation of the Major League Baseball Player Association, transform the value of the contract on their lives into $ 438 million. Nevertheless, $ 438 million at that time MLB would be the largest in history, as well as … former team partner, just $ 1.5 million ahead of Mike Trout. And both of them have signed only behind Juan Soto ($ 765 million) and Vladimir Gurro Jr. ($ 500 million).

First 50/50 season

A player who is to have both everyday player and a initial pitcher with energy when they can’t do later? Steal some locations, apparently. Ohtani decided to do so anyway, and the result was the first 50/50 season: he scored 54 domestic runs and stole 59 locations, and all were caught four times, as well, they were made more efficient than a league-league 67 caught contesting with League-Leaging Elli de la Cruise (67).

Only five players in history had managed 40/40, and Ohthani-in his career, was 26 years old, in 2021, set a completely new benchmark as they had a speed of stamina and spir-spir.

MVP with each other unanimous

When Ohtani won the 2023 MVP, it was thanks to a joint effort between his work in the plate and as a pitcher. In 2024, however, it was all the bat. The 50/50 season can be the top highlight, but the Ohtani was historically better than other methods. He logged in to an MLB-Agni 411 total bases, the highest in history and the third highest in the 21st century. With whom was Ohthani tied? None other than Barry Bonds and his 2001 season, in which he hit a record 73 homers. Ohtani had total total bases that were hits 73 Home Run in one year.

He did that by having an about 100 additional-base hit: Ohtani ended one of the figures, which is more than only one goal number. Despite remembering the centenary mark, Ohtani is still tied for the 16th most additional-base hit in a season, and Run atmosphere In which he also drawn that these all-time show their performance extraordinary even among great years.

A world series championship

Ohthani signed with Dojers as they agreed to pay him $ 700 million, of course, but it is likely that other teams would have done the same. It was less likely that any other team had the same commitment to win: Dojers, who came first in NL West out of 10 of their previous 11 sessions before signing the OHT ANI, is the most successful, continuous culture to win in MLB. Both sides have already paid, Ohtani helped lead the doseers for their second world series championships in four sessions – their first – and before he took the mound for them anytime.

Bobblehead houses, large data, and a fourth MVP?

Ohtani entered between 5 July. 282/.384/.622 seasons, in which he is a domestic run (30), slugging percentage and leading in total bases (212) in NL, while leading Major with 86 runs. He hit a historic walk-off home run His boblehead nightAnd on Ohthani’s second Boblehead Night – to honor his 50/50 season in 2024 – he deepened twice, giving him a series of numbers that Never was managed before Through 42 Games.

There is a lot to see with him in the batsman’s box, but there is a lot for the game of Ohtani that he can do with the bat.
