Shohei Ohtani will set the third-madest record in Major League Baseball history on the 17th, and dominate the list alone

Major League Baseball (MLB) Los Angeles DodgersJapanese star Shohei Ohtani will start against the Padres on the 17th, and he will also write a super crazy record dominated by himself after returning to the pitcher mound after a long absence.

Japanese star Shohei Ohtani

Shohei Ohtani has already knocked out 25 hits this season, and as long as he starts on the board on the 17th, he will become the third hitter to shoot at least one start before the All-Star Game since the first All-Star Game in 1933, and he can continue to challenge for the ranking position.

Data expert Sarah Langs listed all the rankings of the record, and basically Shohei Ohtani "dominated the list" alone, and the current first place is Shohei Ohtani's 33 hits in 2021, the second place is Shohei Ohtani's 32 hits in 2023, the third place is Shohei Ohtani's 19 hits in 2022, the fourth place is Shohei Ohtani's 7 hits in 2018, and the fifth place is Mike Hampton's 6 hits in 2001. After Ohtani starts on the 17th, the top five will all be himself.

The current fifth-place record is Hampton, a retired two-time star left-handed pitcher, who started 355 of his 419 career games, won 148 wins and 115 losses, and won one Golden Glove Award and five Pitcher Silver Bat Awards. Hampton played for the Rockies in 2001, and that year he hit 7 hits in a single season that year, the most in a single season in his career, and Hampton made 16 hits out of 845 hits in the strike zone in his career, with a batting percentage of 2 to 46, which is quite a terrible result for a pitcher.
