New records” are appearing in a frightening number, including the first in 52 years.

The U.S. website “SPORTRAC” predicted the size of Ohtani’s contract, which will become a free agent after this season.

 

The total value for pitchers was estimated at $202 million over six years, and for hitters at $326 million over nine years, for a combined total of $528 million (¥76.032 billion), the highest total in history.

 

The previous highest amount was $426.5 million over 12 years (approximately ¥58.0 billion at the time), which his colleague Trout signed in 2007.

 

The “new record” that keeps popping up, the first in 52 years… Shohei Ohtani has broken major league history.

 

This is his 16th double-digit strikeout streak since 2022, which puts him at the top of the MLB.

New records are being set every day.

 

Shohei Ohtani of the Angels pitched a complete game against the White Sox on June 27, allowing one run in seven innings for his seventh win of the season and three hits, including a multi-homer game, as reported by MLB official reporter Sarah Langs and ESPN’s “Stats & Info”.

 

By the middle of the seventh inning, he had 10 strikeouts, his 16th double-digit strikeout total since 2022 and the MLB leader. He is also tied for the lead with Kevin Gausman (Blue Jays) with his sixth if we narrow it down to this season. He also became the first starting pitcher to hit multiple home runs since Zack Greinke (D-backs) on April 2, 2019. If we narrow it down to the A-League, it’s the first time since Sonny Siebert (Red Sox) on September 2, 1971.

 

Langs also introduced a maniacal record. In the “Most strikeouts and 10 or more homers in a month since 1900” and “Most homers and 30 or more strikeouts in a month since 1900,” Ohtani is in the top spot. He is only one shy of matching Camilo Pascual’s record of three times in the 1950s and 1960s.

 

ESPN’s “Stats & Info” report that Ohtani is “the sixth pitcher to record 10 strikeouts and two home runs in a single game (in the A League and National League) since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893.

 

Regarding his home runs in three of his last four starts, he explains, “Since Rick Wise in August 1973, he is the first pitcher to hit a home run in at least three games in which he started as a pitcher in one month.
