Shohei Ohtani Blasts His Way Into History With 250th Career Home Run
What a night it was at Dodger Stadium! If you’re a baseball fan—or even just someone who appreciates watching greatness unfold—then Shohei Ohtani gave you something to remember. On Saturday, Ohtani didn’t just have a good game; he made history. He launched two massive home runs against the San Francisco Giants, and in doing so, reached an extraordinary milestone: 250 career home runs.
This wasn’t just another stat-padding night. Ohtani came into the game having gone 10 games without a homer. A bit of a drought by his standards. But like the superstar he is, he erupted in dramatic fashion. In the very first inning, he stepped up as the leadoff batter and crushed a 419-foot rocket into the right-field seats. It came off the bat at an explosive 110.3 miles per hour. That shot set the tone, and from that moment on, you could feel something special was brewing.

Then, in the sixth inning, he did it again. This time, it was a curveball from Tristan Beck, low and outside—a tough pitch to get under. But Ohtani, with that signature swing, reached out and sent it flying. That was number 250. A monumental homer that not only thrilled the crowd but also added to his already impressive tally of 25 home runs this season. It tied him with some of baseball’s biggest names: Brady Anderson for most leadoff homers through 71 games, and Gary Sheffield for the most homers by a Dodger in the same stretch.
And there’s more—always more with Ohtani. With this performance, he also became the fastest player in MLB history to reach both 250 home runs and 150 stolen bases. He did it in just 928 games, surpassing the legendary Alex Rodriguez, who took 977 games to get there.
To top it all off, the Dodgers backed up his offensive fireworks with a dominant outing by Clayton Kershaw, who threw seven scoreless innings. The final score? Dodgers 11, Giants 5. But the real story—the headline, the highlight, the history—was all about Shohei Ohtani. The bat, the speed, the milestones... he’s not just playing baseball. He’s redefining it.
