We present records that may be surpassed this season
Pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who traded to the Dodgers, will start the 2024 season as a one-batter due to right elbow surgery. Last season he won the two-game home run title. The official MLB website highlights records and players who have the potential to be surpassed this season.
The “Unguaranteed Position” he gained after leaving Chunichi: A challenge to becoming a true regular that Kyoda doesn’t yet know
Among them, Otani was identified as the most likely candidate to surpass Nomar Mazara’s (2019) distance of 505 feet (approximately 153.9 meters), the longest home run since Statcast was introduced in 2015. Aside from hitting a home run of 493 feet (approximately 150.3 meters), which is the longest distance of the season in 2023, he will not have the opportunity to play at Coors Field, the Rockies’ home run, which is reportedly a place where due his transfer to the Dodgers is likely to result in home runs. There are 7 times.
He was also named, along with outfielder Aaron Judge (Yankees), to break the record for home runs in consecutive games. The current record is eight consecutive games, held by three players, including Ken Griffey Jr. Of Ohtani, he said: “Over the last three years, he has averaged 41 home runs per season while playing at an elite level as a pitcher. So it’s scary to think that he’s going to focus on being a hitter.” The longest streak was three games in a row, but he’s a strong pitcher. It will be difficult for pitchers to avoid him in the Dodgers’ lineup.” Everyone is excited to see how much Otani will improve his hitting performance by playing exclusively as a DH and playing for the Dodgers, who have a strong batting staff.
Additionally, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s name was mentioned as the most likely candidate to break the record for most strikeouts in a rookie season. The record is 276 and was set by Dwight Gooden in 1984, but he said: “A new genius is coming to the big leagues. He could maybe have a magical rookie season like Gooden.”
