100% real image of Ohtani making the record-breaking run
Las Vegas, NV -- Shohei Ohtani broke the "modern" single season record for runs scored in the 4th inning today in a 4-3 extra inning win over the Pawtucket Patriots.
The Fremont DH/SP scored from first on Gabriel Arias's fourth inning double, notching his 77th run of the campaign. Carl Crawford had held the record for 15 years scoring 76 times for the Kansas City Butchers in 2009.
"Modern" records go back to the 2008 season, when most games started to be played in cyberspace. Alex Rodriguez's all-time record of 83 with the 2006 Boston Bobcats is within reach with 13 games left in the Fremont's season -- 77 is good for fifth in the history of the league.
"I am honored to achieve this record and be enshrined at the top of a prestigious list. You can bet that I will be doing my best to help the Fremonts finish the year strong -- whether it's crossing the plate, pitching, or cheering on my teammates," Ohtani said, adding, "on second thought, don't bet on that, and forget I mentioned it."
Ohtani is having a season for the ages, slashing .366/.447/.834 with 33 HRs, 77 RBI through 68 games and he's topped the "modern" record for total bases as well with 221 so far. Not to mention a 6-2 record with a 2.55 ERA on the mound.

ReplyDeleteLooks like he's out of the baseline to me! Didn't the Patriots appeal this play?
