Shohei Ohtani has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first player since 2001 to reach 400 total bases in a single season. This feat was last accomplished by Barry Bonds and Luis Gonzalez. Ohtani's 400th base came on a bloop double, marking a significant highlight in his already historic season. His performance underscores his exceptional talent and places him in a prestigious club of players who have reached this milestone, with only 30 players having done so in high-offense environments. Ohtani's third hit of the game secured this achievement.
