Shohei Ohtani, the sui generis Japanese baseball phenom, has etched his name into Dodgers lore, becoming only the third player in franchise history to eclipse the 20-homer threshold within the initial 55 games of a season—a rarefied stratum occupied previously by Gil Hodges and Cody Bellinger. This achievement, marking the 64th instance of such prodigious power display in major league annals, remains unmatched since Pete Alonso's similar feat for the New York Mets in 2023. Ohtani, a three-time MVP and current major league home run paragon, punctuated his dominance with a two-run blast against the Cleveland Guardians, showcasing his preternatural ability to deposit pitches deep into the opposite field—a feat he has now accomplished four times this season. Indeed, such is Ohtani's prodigious strength that even imperfectly struck balls frequently metamorphose into home runs, and he has twice this season strung together three consecutive games with a dinger. The four-time All-Star, moreover, has demonstrated sustained offensive firepower, reaching double-digit home run totals in a single month on three separate occasions since donning the Dodgers' regalia.
