American professional baseball player Ohtani, who became the first professional player in Korea, the United States and Japan to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, continued to break records by adding home runs and stolen bases.
He has already reached the milestone of 53 home runs and 55 stolen bases, and now has 6 regular season games left.

Ohtani swings his bat wide and sends the ball into the outfield in right center.
The game-tying home run that brought the game back to square one in the bottom of the 9th inning when the player was down 5 to 4, was his 53rd home run of the season.
As soon as he hits, he realizes it’s a home run and he cheers strongly towards the dugout, unable to hide his excitement.
“Ohtani is the most exciting after his home run. Although he hit, he knows it’s for the team.
Before the home run, Ohtani hit singles in the 3rd and 7th innings, then stole 2 bases in a row and added 2 stolen bases.
53 home runs and 55 stolen bases.
Even after reaching 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases for the first time on the 20th, attention is now focused on Ohtani’s final records as he continues to break records in each game
The Dodgers have six regular season games remaining.
Given that Ohtani has added a home run and a stolen base every three or so games this season, the mathematically possible record is 55 home runs and 57 stolen bases.
However, it seems difficult to easily predict the final record as he has shown maximum hitting ability by adding 6 and 7 home runs and stolen bases, respectively, in the last 7 games.
If Ohtani steals two more bases in the remaining six games, he will also break the record for most stolen bases by an Asian major leaguer, set by Ichiro in 2001.
Major league fans are more interested in how far Ohtani will go.
