Dodgers Shohei Ohtani Ticks Closer to 50-50 Season With 46th Home Run
The $700 million man is at it again. Having one of the most statistically insane seasons ever. The Los Angeles Dodgers Shohei Ohtani ticks even closer to a 50-50 Season with his 46th home run of the year.
Ohtani started the 2024 season off with a bang. And ever since he has not taken his foot off of the pedal. Amassing numerous home runs while also stealing bases like a mad man.
Before the season began and after signing his over half a billion dollar contract; Shohei had promised Los Angeles fans “multiple parades.” Which would mean multiple championships. With Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Guardians fans got a little more reassurance. Ohtani blasted another electrifying home run, helping the blue men win 0-4. And at the same time; keep their strong grip at the top of the NL West division.
Shohei looks good. Shohei looks focused. And Ohtani is certainly doing his part and job to help lead LA to glory.
