MIAMI — Shohei Ohtani didn’t waste any time to be on the run on Wednesday, stealing his forty ninth base of the season within the first inning towards the Marlins at loanDepot park.
Ohtani singled off left-hander Ryan Weathers in his first at-bat. He then took off for second base on the primary pitch to Mookie Betts, sliding in safely. With the forty ninth stolen base, Ohtani matched Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts for the second-most stolen bases in a single season by a Japanese-born participant in Main League historical past.
Ichiro Suzuki holds the report for a Japanese participant with 56 stolen bases in 2001.
Ohtani continues to set information, turning into the primary participant in Main League historical past with at the very least 48 homers and 49 stolen bases in a single season. He’s now two homers and one stolen base shy of turning into the one participant to hit the 50-50 mark.
