The hit came in the seventh inning of the regular season finale at T-Mobile Park, against a pitch from Mariners’ left-hander Gabe Speier. With that home run, the Japanese phenomenon not only surpassed his personal best of 54 home runs achieved in 2024, but also left behind the franchise’s historical record, which belonged to Shawn Green (49 in 2001).
Ohtani, who has become the offensive engine of the Dodgers, repeated the feat of reaching 54 home runs this week in Arizona, before sealing with a flourish an extraordinary regular season.
The two-way slugger has not only broken records on an individual level, but has also propelled the Dodgers to another prominent campaign in the National League, confirming his status as one of the biggest stars in modern baseball.
With this new brand, Ohtani continues to expand his legacy and make it clear that his name is already inscribed among the great historical figures of baseball of all time..
