Shohei Ohtani (aged 30, LA Dodgers) was not excited despite the unprecedented record of 50 (homer) and 50 (stealing) in the Major League Baseball. Rather, he proved once again why he is called a "superstar" with his simple speech that prioritizes team victory.토토사이트
Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the 2024 MLB Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 20th (Korea time) and played 6 hits in 6 at-bats (3 home runs), 10 RBIs, 4 runs and 2 steals.
After starting the game with 48 homers to 49 steals, Ohtani made two steals in the first and second innings, and hit consecutive homeruns in the sixth and seventh innings to complete the 50-50 game. Ohtani, who also hit three runs in the ninth inning, finished the game with 51 homers and steals for this season.
It was the first time Ohtani had multiple home runs and multiple stolen bases in a game, and 10 RBIs in a game were the first in any Dodgers player. Ohtani is also the first in MLB to achieve multiple home runs and multiple stolen bases with more than five hits.
Ohtani, who recorded 120 RBIs this season by sweeping 10 RBIs alone, surpassed his senior Hideki Matsui (116 RBIs) and became the most RBI player in a Japanese major league season.
In addition, as the Dodgers won 20-4, Ohtani also tasted the joy of advancing to the postseason for the first time in his career.
When asked how he felt about winning 50-50, Ohtani said in a broadcast interview after the game, "I liked the most because the team won." He achieved a milestone that no one had ever stepped on, but calmly prioritized his team's victory as he always did.
"I didn't know I would play such a great game either," Ohtani said in response to the reporter's remark that he made a great contribution offensively, ending the short interview with "I'm happy to be on the best team and make it to the postseason."
