Shohei Ohtani sets a Dodgers home run record
The Japanese player finished with 32 home runs in the first half, the most home runs in the first half of the season for a Los Angeles Dodgers player.
Ohtani surpassed Cody Bellinger, who had been the only hitter to reach 30 home runs before the All-Star break.
The Dodgers designated hitter is part of a historic group by being part of the five players who surpassed 30 home runs before the All-Star Break.
This is the first season with five players with 30 or more before the break. The five are: Kyle Schwarber, Eugenio Suárez, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh.
Ohtani joins Babe Ruth in runs scored
The Dodgers slugger finished with 91 runs scored, the only Dodgers player with 90 or more runs scored before the All-Star break.
Ohtani became the sixth player to reach 90 runs scored in the first half of the season.
These are the six players to do so: Ty Cobb (1915), Babe Ruth (1930), Chuck Klein (1932), Lou Gehrig (1936), Frank Thomas (1994) and Shohei Ohtani (2025).
The king of total bases
The Japanese finished with 224 total bases in the first half, to become the only Dodgers player to reach 220 or more bases in two seasons in a Dodgers uniform.
He had 235 in the first half last year and 224 this season. Ohtani holds the record for most bases reached by a Dodgers player since they moved to Los Angeles.
