Historic achievement by Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers last observed since 1932

In the heart of the Major League Baseball (MLB) season, one player stands out as a beacon of power, energy, and consistency - Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani's run production has been nothing short of sensational, providing the Dodgers' lineup with a constant source of power and energy. His ability to blend elite power, plate discipline, and speed makes him one of the most complete hitters in the game today.

If Ohtani manages to sustain his current pace, he could finish the season with one of the most remarkable offensive campaigns in MLB history. In fact, he has already reached a rare milestone, becoming the first major leaguer since Jimmie Foxx in 1932 to record at least 120 runs, 90 walks, and 45 home runs before September.

This statistical combination has not been matched since Foxx's achievement over 90 years ago. Ohtani's success has not only electrified the Dodgers' clubhouse but also earned him praise from teammates and coaches for his work ethic and leadership, both on and off the field.

Manager Dave Roberts has often referred to Ohtani as a "game-changer." However, the Dodgers' postseason push remains confident, with Ohtani's bat leading the way.

Despite dropping the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the focus remains on Ohtani's at-bats in the final stretch of the season. His pursuit of more milestones and potential MVP honors has made his performances must-watch baseball.

As the 2025 season approaches, the question remains about what record or milestone Ohtani will shatter next. With his unique dominance as both a hitter and pitcher, he could break or approach historic MLB records, particularly aiming to surpass milestones like achieving more than 120 runs, 90 walks, and 45 home runs in a season before September—a feat last seen in 1932 by Jimmie Foxx.

This latest milestone adds to Ohtani's growing legacy as one of the game's most dominant players. His impact on the Dodgers and the MLB as a whole cannot be overstated.
