Shohei Ohtani's two-way "godly stats" revealed! US media says: stop comparing him to baseball legend Babe Ruth

Los Angeles Dodgers' Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani has once again pushed the limits of imagination! Yesterday, starting as both pitcher and designated hitter against the Diamondbacks, he delivered 6 scoreless innings with 8 strikeouts, no walks, and a top pitch speed exceeding 101 mph (about 162.9 km/h), marking his first quality start since his right elbow surgery. This masterpiece not only showcased his dominance returning to the mound but also prompted US data company Codify Baseball to declare: "Stop saying 'since Babe Ruth,' Ohtani is truly one of a kind!"

According to Codify Baseball’s statistics, over the past five years Ohtani has accumulated 231 home runs and 604 strikeouts, fully opening a never-before-seen era of two-way play. Since 2021, no pitcher with more innings pitched than him has maintained a better ERA than his 2.84. He has sustained powerful pitching dominance over 475.1 innings while displaying elite hitting power, achieving a surreal "two-way" performance.

Codify Baseball points out that although Babe Ruth is a baseball legend, even in the era when 30 home runs per season was common, he never recorded more than 3 strikeouts in a single season as a pitcher. This is incomparable to Ohtani’s feat of accumulating hundreds of strikeouts alongside over 200 home runs simultaneously.

As of the 25th, Ohtani holds a batting average of .281 this season, with 53 home runs, 99 RBIs, an OPS of 1.009, and leads the league with 143 runs scored. With the playoffs approaching, he will step onto the October stage as a full-fledged two-way player for the first time, leading the Dodgers in their pursuit of a second consecutive championship.
