Shohei Ohtani Joins Exclusive Company With Eye-Popping Home Run Stat
His homer made the score of the game 3-2, fueling a 4-2 win to secure a series sweep over the AL Central side.Only three players in MLB history have hit more than 147 home runs through their first three seasons with a team. Those players are Babe Ruth, who hit 149 with the New York Yankees through three seasons, Alex Rodriguez, who crushed 156 in three years with the Texas Rangers, and Mark McGwire, who has the most with 159 in his first three years with the St. His last start came early in July, but if the Dodgers get him back before the postseason, he would be a huge boost to the rotation.
