As for Ohtani’s record, it’s looking positive – the chance to make history as the first player ever to hit at least 48 homers and steal 49 bases in a single season is just around the corner. With only two home runs and one stolen base needed for that incredible 50-50 milestone, we can see manager Dave Roberts is over the moon. But the buzz isn’t limited to the dugout, the two-way phenom has mesmerized even celebrities.

Rob Lowe delighted at his meeting with Ohtani

Rob Lowe, the West Wing actor, has shared a heartfelt experience he had with the baseball star Shohei Ohtani. When Rob visited the clubhouse to meet the 30-year-old, he was sitting in his workout shorts and uniform top. As he introduced himself, even though there wasn’t a need, the actor asked if he could take a picture. Ohtani agreed, but as Rob thought he would just stand up and take the photo, Ohtani started getting completely dressed.

The level of respect for the game and attention to detail he has left a mark in Rob’s mind, who later said, “Think about if any other superstar would ever do this.” He also shared a moment when he was sitting down in his seat, with a Dodgers representative, and a message popped up. It was for Rob, asking if he would care if Ohtani posted their photo. Talk about modesty; can you imagine sports stars doing this?

Well, if we are talking about unimaginable things, what Shohei Ohtani is doing on the field is also not comparable to other players at the moment. Day after day, he’s not just breaking records but redefining what’s possible on the field. With only a few games left for the Dodgers, the anticipation is electric. Now, the big question looms: will Ohtani also outpace Ichiro Suzuki’s record for the most stolen bases in a season by a Japanese player? What are your thoughts? Let’s hear them in the comments.
