Shohei Ohtani threw his fifth bullpen session on Tuesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, prior to the game against the Chicago Cubs.
The superstar is on track to become the first full-time designated hitter to win an MVP award after becoming the sixth player to accomplish the rare 40-40 season.
With nearly three weeks left in the regular season, Ohtani is four home runs and three stolen bases shy of the first 50-50 season in Major League Baseball history.
Ohtani’s bullpen session today was 20 pitches. #Dodgers #Ohtani

“He’s one of one,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Alden Gonzalez of ESPN in August.
