Plus: Tracking Ohtani's Triple Crown chances
Just about everything Shohei Ohtani does makes history, which speaks to the two-way star's unprecedented combination of skills.
As the end of the 2023 season draws nearer, Ohtani has a lot of individual achievements in his sights. He is the overwhelming favorite to win his second American League MVP Award in three years. He has a shot at Aaron Judge's AL record of 62 home runs, set just last year. And then there is the Triple Crown.
Ohtani is looking to become only the second player in the past 56 seasons to lead the AL or NL in batting average, home runs and RBIs in the same season, and MLB.com is tracking his progress along the way. |
