"On the same day he pitched five no-hit innings against a dominant Philadelphia Phillies lineup, Ohtani became the first player in over 20 years to hit 50 or more home runs in back-to-back seasons. He's also just the sixth player in MLB history with consecutive 50-home run seasons. Here's the full list: Shohei Ohtani (2024-25) Alex Rodriguez (2001-02) Sammy Sosa (1998-2001) Ken Griffey Jr. (1997-98) Mark McGwire (1996-99) Babe Ruth (1920-21, 1927-28)"
"Ohtani is also the only player in Dodgers franchise history to hit at least 50 home runs in a season, and he's done it twice in his first two years with the organization. Shohei Ohtani's 2025 Season is Even Better Than 2024 While Ohtani's 2024 season was historic, as he invented the 50 home run/50 stolen base club, his 2025 season may be even better. Ohtani has returned to the mound this year, and is sporting a 3.29 ERA with 54 strikeouts across 41 innings."
Shohei Ohtani became the first player in over 20 years to hit 50 or more home runs in consecutive seasons and stands among six players in MLB history with back-to-back 50-home run campaigns. Ohtani pitched five no-hit innings against the Philadelphia Phillies and returned to the mound this season with a 3.29 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 41 innings. Offensively he is slashing .282/.395/.611 with 50 home runs, 94 RBIs and a 1.006 OPS. Ohtani is the only Dodgers player to reach 50 home runs in a season, achieving that mark twice in his first two years with the team and entering as the frontrunner for another MVP.
