Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani hit his 44th home run on Saturday at Chase Field. It was also his 80th extra-base hit.
As the final month of the season begins, Ohtani is on pace to break a franchise record held by Floyd “Babe” Herman. The Brooklyn outfielder set the Dodgers’ single-season record for extra-base hits in 1930.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was four extra-base hits away from reaching Herman’s total of 94 last year. Despite falling short of Herman’s total, Freeman still set a Los Angeles record with 90 extra-base hits.
