Ohtani advanced to the first base due to a runner's out when he grounded out to the infield at the first and second bases with no outs in the bottom of the third inning when his team was leading 1-0. He successfully stole second base at Mookie Batts' subsequent at-bat. It was his ninth of this season.
Ohtani injured his shoulder while stealing second base during the second game of the World Series against the New York Yankees last year. Ohtani was hurt while touching the ground with his left hand while sliding a vent leg. Ohtani endured the pain and played the rest of the game, but was put on the operating table after the left shoulder joint and spondyl rupture were confirmed.
As a result, this season, when the pitcher is about to return to the pitcher, the prevailing view was that "the number of steal attempts will decrease."
Ohtani has been speeding up in recent years. He has successfully stolen bases in three consecutive games, leaving only one to steal double digits for five consecutive seasons.
Compared to last year when Ohtani hit 50 home runs and 50 steals for the first time in MLB history, Ohtani stole more than five times in total for this season as of May 1 last year. Ohtani has posted double-digit steals for three consecutive months since July, reaching a historic 50-50 mark. Along with expanding the base size, Ohtani's steal skills have improved a lot since moving to Dodgers. 스포츠토토
Ohtani is batting .287 with seven home runs and 10 RBIs in 29 games this season. The pace is similar to that of seven home runs and five steals (32 games) during the same period last year.
