There is a real possibility that Shohei Ohtani will win the Cy Young Award and his fifth MVP Award this season, and if he does, the GOAT discussion might be over😳
Within the last 7 days, the @Dodgers have gotten:
5.1 shutout IP from Yamamoto
6.0 shutout IP from Ohtani
7.0 shutout IP from Sasaki
No other team in MLB history has had 3 different Japanese-born pitchers deliver a scoreless start over an entire season (let alone in one week).
Tonight was Shohei Ohtani's 11th career game where he pitched 5.0+ innings and had more or as many base hits as he allowed.
The only MLB player in the modern era with more such games is Walter Johnson (16).
