DENVER —
Shohei Ohtani didn’t win the National League batting title, or claim the NL’s first triple crown since 1937, during the Dodgers season-finale 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
The fact it was even a possibility, however, was a testament to the dominant tear with which Ohtani finished his first Dodgers season.
Despite going just one for four in Game 162 at Coors Field, Ohtani concluded the regular season with a staggering stat line.
