Shohei Ohtani breaks one of Ichiro's MLB records
"Ohtani has now reached base safely in 44 consecutive games. The on-base streak dates back to last season and is the longest such stretch of Ohtani's career."
"Ohtani's now holds the longest on-base streak in MLB history by a Japanese-born player, surpassing the 43 games Ichiro Suzuki reached safely during the 2009 season."
"While Ohtani has managed to keep his on-base streak alive, he had a scoreless innings streak slip away on Wednesday, snapping his streak as a pitcher at 24.2 scoreless innings."
"Ohtani has continued to state his focus is on remaining healthy and performing well for the Dodgers, especially after having a second career Tommy John surgery in September 2023."
Shohei Ohtani achieved a 44-game on-base streak, surpassing Ichiro Suzuki's record for Japanese-born players. This streak began last season and includes nine hits in 13 games this season. Ohtani has also reached 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases in his career, joining Ichiro as the second Japanese player to do so. Despite not feeling fully comfortable at the plate, Ohtani remains focused on health and performance, especially after recovering from Tommy John surgery. His bobblehead night coincided with breaking Ichiro's record.
