To be able to get to 60/60, Ohtani might want to put up eight homers and eight steals over the workforce’s last eight video games, which has by no means been finished earlier than.
Doing issues which have by no means been finished earlier than is sort of Ohtani’s factor, so you possibly can’t rely him out given how scalding sizzling he has been on the plate just lately.
He has an 1.120 OPS in September and 5 of the workforce’s remaining eight video games are in opposition to the Rockies, together with three in Colorado, so maybe he has just a few extra three-homer video games in him.
It’s necessary to take pleasure in what Ohtani is doing, as a result of it might by no means occur once more.
Most significantly of all, we’ll get to see him within the postseason for the primary time this season.
