Shohei Ohtani Triple Crown chances: Can Dodgers superstar do the unthinkable with 2 games left in regular season?

On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers insider Noah Camras posted about a potential triple crown for Shohei Ohtani on X. The triple crown is accomplished when a player earns the highest batting average and most home runs and RBIs for a season.

Ohtani leads the NL with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs. His .309 batting average trails Luis Arraez of the San Diego Padres by 0.003 points as two regular season games remain.

However, Ohtani's current pace in the batter's box gives him an excellent chance of overtaking Arraez at the last moment to claim the first triple crown since 2012. In their previous ten games, Arraez is batting .221 while Shohei Ohtani is batting .591.

Shohei Ohtani hits 54th home run, breaks stolen base record as Dodgers rout the Rockies

The Los Angeles Dodgers recorded a resounding 11-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Friday at Coors Field. The visitors took control early, with Teoscar Hernandez's two-run homer setting the tone for a comfortable victory.

The records continue to tumble for Ohtani, as the 30-year-old recently surpassed Ichiro Suzuki's mark for most stolen bases in a season by a Japanese player. The Dodgers' star eclipsed the 23-year-old record after swiping base number 57 on Friday.

A trip to hitter-friendly Coors Field comes at the perfect time for Ohtani's triple crown pursuit. The likely NL MVP has a .436 batting average, with four home runs and ten RBIs in his last ten games vs. Colorado. The Dodgers' DH added four hits and a home run against the Rockies on Friday.

Shohei Ohtani and Co. face Colorado on Saturday as they look to wrap up the final series of their regular season with a win.
