Overview
- Shohei Ohtani currently stands at 47 home runs and 48 stolen bases for the season.
- The Dodgers' upcoming seven-game road trip includes four games in Atlanta and three in Miami, where Ohtani is likely to reach the milestone.
- Ohtani has been successful in his last 25 stolen base attempts, significantly increasing his frequency and success rate.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts attributes Ohtani's increased stolen bases to his offseason elbow surgery, which has limited his pitching this year.
