Shohei Ohtani, the celebrated Japanese baseball prodigy, has etched his name into Dodgers' lore as only the third player in franchise history to amass 20 home runs within a mere 55 games this season. This feat elevates Ohtani to an echelon shared by luminaries such as Gil Hodges and Cody Bellinger, marking only the 64th instance of such rapid power display by any Major League player, the most recent antecedent being Pete Alonso of the New York Mets in 2023. The three-time MVP paces the Major Leagues in home runs, augmenting his tally with a two-run blast against the Cleveland Guardians. This marks Ohtani's fourth opposite-field clout of the season, underscoring the disconcerting reality for opposing pitchers that even Ohtani's mis-hits can transmute into round-trippers; indeed, he has already punctuated this season with two separate instances of homering in three consecutive games. The four-time All-Star has further distinguished his Dodgers tenure by achieving at least a dozen home runs in a single month on three separate occasions.
