Shohei Ohtani continues to break records.

The Los Angeles Dodgers star recorded his 57th stolen base of the year in the second inning of the team's matchup with the Colorado Rockies on Friday, setting a new single-season record by a Japanese-born player.

The previous mark of 56 belonged to 10-time All-Star Ichiro Suzuki, who stole 56 bases as a member of the Seattle Mariners during the 2001 season.

Ohtani's 57 steals are the second-most among all MLB players this year, only trailing Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
