Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Shatters Franchise Record in World Series Game 3
Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is on a historic roll in the World Series, shattering a franchise record with 12 total bases in Game 3 against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Japanese sensation is now tied for company with Babe Ruth, who holds the record with at least one pitching start and multiple home runs in a single postseason.
Ohtani's impressive display at the plate has been nothing short of spectacular, with five home runs and two doubles over his last seven at-bats at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers' two-way star is 4-for-4 with three home runs already this game, putting him on pace to break more records.
The Blue Jays star displayed incredible greatness in the National League Championship Series, a performance that featured three home runs and six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts from Ohtani. However, ahead of his NLCS Game 4 performance, he had struggled mightily at the plate. But it seems like Ohtani's postseason slump is behind him as he continued to make history in Game 3 Monday night.
"I do feel better at the plate recently, so in that sense, it's been good overall," Ohtani said earlier in the series. With Games 4 and 5 of the Fall Classic on the horizon, Ohtani will take the mound and serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter Tuesday at Chavez Ravine, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what he'll do next.
Ohtani's incredible display has cemented his status as one of the greatest players in postseason history, with only Babe Ruth standing between him and a place in the record books.

?! He's literally breaking records left and right! 12 total bases in one game is wild, and being tied with Babe Ruth for company? That's just mind-blowing 
! I've been watching him play since his MLB debut, and it's amazing to see how he's grown into this incredible two-way talent. His postseason slump must have felt brutal, but it looks like he's back on track now 
! Fingers crossed the Dodgers make a deep run in the playoffs – we can't wait to see what Ohtani does next!
! The dude is like a superhero on the field, switching between pitcher and batter mode seamlessly 
. His power numbers are insane, I mean 5 home runs in one game? That's just ridiculous 
. I think it's awesome that he's breaking all these records, but what's really impressive is how confident he looks at the plate, like he knows he can hit anything thrown his way 
. I'm curious to see if he'll keep this up for the rest of the series, and also how he'll do when he takes the mound again 
️.
. But what really gets me is that Ohtani seems to be on a mission to break every record under the sun 
. I'm not saying it's rigged or anything (although, have you seen how many stats the MLB has?), but come on, is this guy just that good? 
It's like he's trying to rewrite the rules of baseball. And what about his secret training regimen? 
Is he using some kind of performance-enhancing technology? I don't know, man, it's all a bit suspicious for me 
.
, can't believe what I'm seeing at the plate... 5 homers already this game? 
. What's next, breaking Babe Ruth's hitting record too? 
The dude's a force to be reckoned with. 
I'm low-key blown away by Ohtani's performance 
But seriously, it's crazy to think he's on pace to break Babe Ruth's record and become part of the same elite group. The Blue Jays are getting destroyed right now, lol.
. And can we talk about his pitching skills? 10 strikeouts in one game? Unbeatable! 
and tying Babe Ruth's franchise record? That's like, baseball history right there 
can't wait to see what he does next, whether it's on the mound or at the plate! 
His 12 total bases in Game 3 are insane 
Now we're talking about a possible record-breaking performance in Games 4 and 5... can't wait! 
5 home runs already this game? That's just insane! The guy's got skills for days 
. I think Ohtani is just doing what any good player should do in his position - hit home runs and throw strikes 
I'm totally shipping this guy to the Hall of Fame ASAP! 
honestly speaking tho, i'm not sure why they had to make ohtani be a designated hitter in game 5 
... can't wait to see what happens next 
he's been on fire at the plate, but I'm not surprised - his skillset is just too insane for anyone to keep up with
