With this, Ohtani joins Ichiro Suzuki (3,089) and Hideki Matsui (1,253) as the only Japanese-born players to have reached the thousand-hit mark in the Majors.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">Shohei Ohtani goes yard for career hit No. 1,000! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c6I2pGSuip\">pic.twitter.com\/c6I2pGSuip<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLB\/status\/1953197169588195693?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nIn addition to his offensive prowess, Ohtani was the starting pitcher, throwing four solid innings, his longest outing of the season. He struck out eight of the 14 batters he faced, without giving up any walks and throwing 54 pitches, 37 of them in the strike zone.\n\nThe home run, which left the bat at 109.5 mph and landed in left-center field, also ended a nine-game home run drought for Ohtani. It was his own backing from the mound, something uncommon even in the annals of modern baseball.\n\nWith this milestone, the Dodgers now have four active players with at least 1,000 hits in MLB: Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Dominican Te\u00f3scar Hern\u00e1ndez.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles. \u2013 Shohei Ohtani wrote another historic chapter in his brilliant Major League career by reaching his unstoppable number 1,000 with a huge 440-foot home run, in the Dodgers&#8217; 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, at Dodger Stadium.
