Ohtani said, “I think this year’s record should be the least number for next year. I want to eliminate the possibility of not being able to repeat what I did this year. Also for the team, I should make it happen again next year. Now that I have numerical results from this year, those numbers will be my standard going forward. “

Be it on the mound or on the base, Ohtani has produced a stellar run in 2021. He has had a historic season this year and by his own admission, there’s more to come from the Japanese star.
