LA Dodgers' "Superstar" Shohei Ohtani (30), who is trying to join the 50-50 stolen base club for the first time in Major League history, finally stole his 49th base, signaling that he is close to achieving the 50-50 milestone.

Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in an away game against the Miami Marlins in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 19th (Korea Standard Time).토토사이트

The Dodgers' first to ninth batting order on the day included Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (second baseman), Teosca Hernandez (right fielder), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Tommy Edman (striker), Will Smith (catcher), Andy Farz (midfielder), Kikke Hernandez (third baseman), and Chris Taylor (left fielder). Right-hander Landon Ngak served as the starting pitcher.

In response, Miami used Javier Edwards (striker), Connor Novi (third baseman), Jesus Sanchez (left fielder), Jake Berger (first baseman), Jonah Bride (designated hitter), Kyle Starworth (middle fielder), Otto Lopez (second baseman), Griffin Conine (right fielder), and Nick Portes (catcher) as the first to ninth batters, and left-hander Ryan Weathers took the mound.

Ohtani, who was the first batter at the top of the first inning, picked up the first pitch and hit a four-seam fastball of 95.7 miles per hour by Weathers, who came in at the second pitch, for a single to left. Ohtani stole second at Betts' at-bat and took advantage of catcher Portes' throwing error to settle on the third base. It was Ohtani's 49th stolen base of this season.

Ohtani quickly gave a chance to hit the third base with no outs, but this did not lead to a run. Betts was out after a flyout to the center field, and Ohtani, who was rushing towards the home plate when Teoscar grounded out to the shortstop, was tagged out, and became a runner on the first base with two outs. Freeman was also out after a flyout to the third baseman, forcing the Dodgers to end its offense without scoring a run in the top of the first inning.

As of the fifth inning, Dodgers is leading 6-0. Smith hit a solo homer to left in the top of the second inning, giving Dodgers the first run. It was his 19th homer of this season. In the top of the fourth inning, Dodgers led 3-0 with Edman's two-run homer, allowing Dodgers to run 6-0, as Kikedo exploded a three-run homer to left-center. Edman had his sixth homer of this season and Kikke his 10th homer of this season.

Ohtani failed to get on base in the top of the third inning with a runner on one out and a flyout to the shortstop and a standing strikeout in the top of the fourth inning with one out.

Ohtani has only two homers and one stolen base to go from 50-50 now. In an away game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday last week, Ohtani hit an outstanding two-run homer in the top of the third inning with one out and a runner on the first base, and recorded his 48th homer of this season.

This meant that Ohtani set a new record for the most home runs in Asian Major Leaguers ever. Ohtani became the hero of a new history, surpassing Choo Shin-soo's 218 home runs, who had previously held this record, with 219 home runs in his Major League career. Choo has accumulated 218 home runs since his debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2005 and the last season of his Major League career with the Texas Rangers in 2020. Currently playing for the KBO League SSG Landers, he plans to leave the field after this season.
