Shohei Ohtani Shatters History: What’s Fueling His Unstoppable 3rd Straight 40-Homer Season?
It’s Ohtani’s third straight 40-homer season, making him the first player to accomplish that kind of streak since Khris Davis did it with the Oakland Athletics in 2016-18. It’s become a rare feat, with even mashers like Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber falling just short.
Ohtani is doing this while coming back as a pitcher. He’s been slowly ramping up on an MLB mound since June, progressing from single-inning starts to four innings in his most recent appearance. He’s been highly effective in that abbreviated action, with a 2.37 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 19 innings across eight starts.
