Shohei Ohtani leads the majors in home runs, with 28, and is on pace to hit 57 baseballs over the fences at big league ballparks around the country, including one where his succe s is especially painful. More on that in a moment.That stand-alone accomplishment would be pretty amazing. Since Barry Bonds popped 73 in 2001, only two players have hit at least 57 Ryan Howard (58 in 2006) and Giancarlo Stanton (59 in 2017). But, of course, nothing about Ohtani is Deandre Baker Jersey one-dimensional.MORE: Hes also on pace for 168 strikeoutsas a pitcher. He has 82 of those in 59 1/3 innings, over the Angels first 79 games this year. He has a 2.58 ERA, with 12.4 K/9 and 5.9 H/9 ratios. So, yeah. In addition to being an MVP candidate as a hitter, hes basically All-Star caliber as a pitcher, too.No, weve never seen anything like this. Not this type of excellence, not in the same year.Lets make up a stat to illustrate our point. Its simple, adding the number of home runs to the number of strikeouts in the same season. Lets call it the Eli Manning Jersey "BS" stat, for the top two guys: Babe and Shohei. Heres a complete list of two-way players who reached double digits in each stat in a single season.Player/YearHRKBSShohei Othani, 20212882110Ohtani, 2018226385Babe Ruth, 1919293059Ruth, 1918114051Willie Smith, 1964112031Jimmy Ryan, 1887111728Ryan, 1888161127This is truly ground-breaking stuff, and it almost feels like hes just hitting his stride.Ohtani has 11 homers in the past 13 games, including three Jabrill Peppers Jersey in his first two games against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium this week.He takes the mound tonight at the stadium, which is something the Yankees dreamed of once upon a time.In that dream, though, Ohtani was wearing a different uniform.Remember how the Yankees very much wanted to sign Ohtani in 2017 but they were cut from his consideration list without even getting to make an in-person presentation? Their interest in the phenom from Japan dated to 2012, so to not make the secondary cut had to sting a bit. They , and didn't even make Julian Love Jersey it to the semifinals.And now, watching him become the player they craved, doing incredible things in their home park?Yeah. Painful.Yankees GM , after learning of Ohtani's decision: I started getting a feel that wasn't good a few days B.J. Goodson Jersey ago. I know that our presentation was excellent. The feedback from that was outstanding. I did get a sense that I can't change that we're a big market and I can't change that we're in the East. That was something that, presentation or not, might be difficult to overcome."Seeing him smash line drives into the right-field seats at Yankee Stadium is just a reminder of why they wanted to land Ohtani.And if he shuts down the home teams lineup on the mound Wednesday? That just might be a little too much to watch.
