Shohei Ohtani concluded a remarkable first regular season with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, clinching both the National League home run and RBI titles, while narrowly missing out on the Triple Crown. His impressive tally of 54 home runs and 130 RBIs stands unmatched, but his final batting average of .310 fell just short of Luis Arraez’s .314.

After the Dodgers’ 2-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies, Ohtani addressed the media at Coors Field in Denver. The 30-year-old superstar is expected to secure his third unanimous MVP award, this time in the National League, after making history as the only player in Major League Baseball to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.

Ohtani joined the Dodgers in the offseason on a groundbreaking 10-year, $700 million contract and exceeded expectations with career highs in home runs, RBIs, stolen bases (59), and hits (197). After undergoing surgery on his throwing arm, he focused solely on hitting this season, successfully navigating the late-season injuries that have plagued him in the past.

Ohtani was pleased with his consistent performance throughout the year and expressed gratitude to the staff who supported him.

Having experienced six years without playoff appearances with the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani is set for his first MLB postseason, having played a crucial role in helping the Dodgers secure their third consecutive NL West title. He enters the playoffs on a high note, riding a 12-game hitting streak during which he batted .547, with 29 hits, seven home runs, 22 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases.

Ohtani stated that he is not reflecting on the season yet and wants to work hard to create more good memories in the future.
