Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani on Short List of 500-Homer Candidates

Shohei Ohtani has been a superstar for the Dodgers this season, breaking multiple Dodgers and MLB records. Ohtani has built a reputation of blasting baseballs out of stadiums. He owns two of the top five longest home runs of the 2024 MLB season, reaching as far as 476 feet against the Rockies on June 18.

The two-way standout has already broken Hideki Matsui’s record for most career home runs hit by a Japanese-born player. Since breaking the record in April, Ohtani has recorded a total of 210 career homers.

Ohtani has secured his future spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
