Episode Details

Shohei Ohtani just hit his 300th career home run — and it was a leadoff bomb, making him the fifth-fastest player ever to reach that milestone. But here’s the kicker: he’s not just a hitter — he’s a pitcher too, with over 700 strikeouts, making him the only player with that many Ks and 300 homers. Only Steve Finley has ever hit a leadoff homer on his 300th blast, and Ohtani’s already got tons of leadoff homers with the Dodgers. Meanwhile, teammate Mookie Betts also hit his 300th this season — a rare feat for the Dodgers, happening just once before. Ohtani’s homers are elite, with insane exit velocity, and for him, 300 feels like just another step on an unstoppable journey.
