Shohei Ohtani Eyes Dodgers History With On-Base Streak Tonight
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani can make history Wednesday night if he reaches base safely for the 54th straight game.
Shohei Ohtani reached base safely again Tuesday, extending his 53-game streak and setting up a chance to take sole possession of the Los Angeles Dodgers record Wednesday, a night when he’ll also take the mound as starting pitcher. Ohtani outran the throw to first base for an infield single in the seventh inning and tied Shawn Green for the second-longest such streak in team history. Given that the franchise record-holder is Duke Snider, who reached base in 58 straight games in 1954, Ohtani and Green jointly hold the record for the Dodgers’ time in Los Angeles, which began ahead of the 1958 season.
As Dodgers Nation’s Nelson Espinal pointed out, Ohtani’s streak continues only because of “hustle,” as he was otherwise held hitless and was not walked. Shohei Ohtani is tied for No. 2 in Dodger history with a 53 game on-base streak.
Ohtani beat out a throw for an infield single, all hustle. He matches Shawn Green in the history books, who achieved his back in 2000. He is 5 games back from Duke Snyder.
