Shohei Ohtani slugs 300th MLB home run; can he get to 500? - CBS Sports

Shohei Ohtani joined MLB’s 300-home run club after launching a leadoff homer against the Rockies on Tuesday night. The Dodgers two-way star hit his 300th career round-tripper in a 4–3 win, becoming the 168th player in MLB history to reach 300 homers. Including his time with Japan’s Nippon Ham Fighters, his total stands at 348. Ohtani, who turned 32 last Sunday, has 20 home runs this season and is on pace for 35 after hitting 55 last year and 54 the year before. His slash line is .295/.409/.541. He also continues to pitch, posting a 1.79 ERA over 85 2/3 innings with 95 strikeouts in 14 starts. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani could have a future toward 500 homers.
