According to the latest statistical analysis of "CBS Sports", if he continues to maintain his current performance, he is not only expected to set a new career high of 55 hits, but may even rewrite the century-old record that has not been repeated since 1921, standing on the threshold of historical legends.
After hitting 54 hits and 59 thieves in 2024, becoming the first player in major league history to "50 hits and 50 thieves" in a single season, Ohtani continues to push the ceiling higher this season. So far, he has played 49 games, accumulated 17 hits, 60 hits, 53 points, 31 RBIs and 11 successful bases, hit 3 measurements of 0.302/0.397/0.643, and the attack index (OPS) is as high as 1.040, maintaining the MVP level.
According to CBS Sports simulations, Ohtani is expected to post 55 hits, 412 home runs, 100 runs, 36 steals and 169 runs if the current firepower continues the season. Among them, the "169 points" will be the second-highest in the modern history of the major leagues since the 177 points written by Babe Ruth, the "god of baseball" in 1921, which is enough to go down in history.
According to the report, Ohtani may also become the ninth player in major league history to achieve "400 home runs and 100 warranties" in a single season, joining legendary stars such as Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa.
