Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Chasing Franchise Record Held by Brooklyn’s ‘Babe’

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.
