Ohtani on the Verge of Historic ’43-43′ with Stolen Base

Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ star pitcher and designated hitter, continued his historic season with a stolen base, pushing his season total to 43. In the second inning of the Dodgers’ game against the Baltimore Orioles, Ohtani reached base on a hit-by-pitch with runners on first and third. He then swiped second base during the next at-bat, adding to his already impressive 42 home runs this season. The accomplishment puts him just one home run away from achieving the unprecedented feat of hitting 43 home runs and stealing 43 bases in the same season.
