Shohei Ohtani Blasts 55th Homer, Shattering Own Dodgers Franchise Record

On the final day of the regular season, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani set a new career high by hitting his 55th home run of the year on Sunday afternoon. This solo blast to center field in the seventh inning against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park broke his own franchise record, which he previously set last season with 54 long balls. The home run extended the Dodgers' lead, following earlier two-run homers from Hyeseong Kim and Freddie Freeman. Ohtani's impressive season leaves him just one home run shy of Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead.
