Sadaharu Oh, the “World Home Run King” with a career record of 868 home runs, has praised Shohei Ohtani’s remarkable performance in reaching the major league milestone of “50 home runs and 50 steals”. In an interview, Oh expressed his admiration for Ohtani’s ability to consistently surprise people, hoping that he could surpass the record of 55 hits in a season.
Oh noted that while Koji Akiyama had achieved 43 homers and 38 steals in Nippon Professional Baseball in 1987, Ohtani’s performance in Major League Baseball is particularly impressive. Oh believes that Ohtani has a good chance of surpassing his record of 55 home runs in a single season, citing Ohtani’s own strength and ability to compete with opponents.
Oh also praised Ohtani’s ability to steal bases, saying that even Japan’s stolen base king rarely achieves such an impressive performance. Ohtani’s ability to successfully steal bases has left Oh speechless, with Oh admitting that he only managed to steal 10 bases in his own rookie season.
Oh expressed his curiosity about the records that Ohtani can create in the future, saying ”I wonder what kind of surprises he will bring us?” This sentiment is likely shared by many fans who are eagerly anticipating Ohtani’s next move.
