Shohei Ohtani Misses Out On Triple Crown
3 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani had an unbelievable 2024 season, but sadly he just barely missed the triple crown. Ohtani loses the batting title to San Diego Padres infielder Luis Arraez and came in second in home runs to Aaron Judge. Despite that, Ohtani finished with an impressive .314 batting average with 54 homers, 130 RBI, and 58 steals. He's also the first 50-homer, 50-steal player ever. Ohtani also became the first Dodger to reach 50 homers in a single season. The expectation is that his batting numbers will probably take a dip next season, assuming he returns to the mound. However, Ohtani is still one of the best players in the league and is a must-watch hitter whenever he's at the plate.
