Ohtani so far tonight

[G1911]

I believe stolen base statistics are unknown until 1885, which cuts out a lot of the candidates.

John Ward led the league in steals in 1887 and 1892. He led the league in K’s in 1879. He stopped pitching in 1884. He was a full time player in the field for some of his pitching seasons and may well have led his club in both at once, but the missing SB stats before 1885 make this tough to prove. Somebody like Ward probably did it at some point. I can’t think of an example of the guys from 1885-on. Would love to hear if someone else knows, it’s an odd feat

Over his last five starts (today is July 7th), Ohtani is 5-0 with a 0.27 ERA, including 46 stikeouts and nine walks in 33 2/3 innings. He hasn't allowed a single earned run over his last four starts, while striking out at least 40, a feat accomplished just eight other times since earned runs became an official stat in 1913.

He is truly an All Store and an amazing athlete.

It is a shame that with him and Trout that team is still below .500 and will not make the playoffs again

If he hasn't allowed any earned runs, how many shutouts has he pitched?

No complete game shut outs like most of modern baseball sadly the complete game is almost a myth
