Shohei Ohtani’s Historic On-Base Streak Ends

He accomplished that feat in 1954, just a few years before the team moved to Los Angeles ahead of the 1958 season.

What’s going on with Shohei Ohtani?

While Ohtani was able to rely on walks, including some intentional walks, to extend his streak thus far this year, he’s had a slow start at the plate.

Manager Dave Roberts has acknowledged as much.

“He’s really not hit his stride yet,” he said. “He’s really not comfortable with his swing. It just shows that he’s an impact player.

“He’s getting on base. The streak speaks to that. If we could just get him going and a couple others, we’ll put up some crooked numbers.”

He has, however, dominated on the mound, including Wednesday night. He pitched six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts.

It all fell apart, though, when reliever Jack Dreyer gave up a three-run home run the inning after Ohtani left the mound.
