Ohtani's 51-Game On-Base Streak Is Now the Third-Longest in Dodgers History, and He's Coming for More
Shohei Ohtani just made history in Denver, and the crazy part is he's not done yet. The Dodgers superstar extended his on-base streak to 51 games with an RBI double to right off Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen on Sunday, taking sole possession of third place on Los Angeles' all-time leaderboard since 1900. Ohtani started the day tied with "Wee" Willie Keeler at 50 games. Now he's got his sights locked on second place, needing just two more games to catch Shawn Green's 53-game streak from 2000.
The Streak That Won't Quit
Since August 24, 2025, Ohtani has reached base every single time he's stepped into the lineup. That's the kind of relentless consistency that separates good hitters from the generational ones. The Dodgers' all-time record belongs to Duke Snider, who posted a 58-game run in 1954. Ron Cey rounds out the top five with 47 games from 1975-76. In the bigger picture, Ohtani's current streak ranks fourth-longest in all of baseball over the last 20 years. Kevin Millar and Shin-Soo Choo both reached safely in 52 straight games in 2007 and 2018 respectively. Going back to 2005, Orlando Cabrera still holds the modern record with 63 games in 2006. Ted Williams holds the overall MLB mark with an 84-game on-base streak way back in 1949.

On Sunday, Ohtani finished 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. The problem? The Dodgers fell to the Rockies 9-6, marking the first time Los Angeles has dropped consecutive games all season. So yeah, individual brilliance only goes so far when the team isn't getting it done. Ohtani is doing his part. The lineup needs to catch up.
Two more games to history. Then it's all about chasing the 58.
