Shohei Ohtani had such a good month in June that his numbers are video game-like. Entering Friday's game in San Francisco, he was riding a 10-game streak where he recorded at least one run batted in.
His record-setting streak ended with a 4-3 loss to the Giants but manager Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts knows that his record-setting abilities won't stop there. In an interview on MLB Network Radio, Roberts said that Ohtani "is really fun to watch." He detailed the record-breaking streak and added, "there's just going to be other things coming out of the woodwork that he is going to be chasing down."during the first half of this season. He has turned it up a notch since the Dodgers lost Mookie Betts to the injured list with a fractured hand.
Entering Monday, his 26 homers and 16 steals through 82 games have him on a pace of putting up a 50/30 season,"So I can't deny that. But at the same time, as a hitter, I've been getting better and overall I think I've been growing as a hitter, too."Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
