The Dodgers\u2019 two-way superstar, through Apr. 20, has now reached base in 52 consecutive games, by either a walk or a hit, after a third inning single off Jose Quintana against the Rockies on Apr. 20.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">The streak began on Aug. 24, 2025, and through Apr. 19 Ohtani had hit .281\/.399\/.597 with 55 hits \u2014 16 of them home runs \u2014 37 walks, eight intentional free passes and three hit by pitches. On Monday in the series finale against the Rockies, Ohtani pushed the streak to 52 games, tying him with Shin-Soo Choo \u2014 the last player to get to at least 50 games \u2014 as well as 10 other players who have managed the same, a group that includes the likes of Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig and Tris Speaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">That ties Ohtani for the 28th-longest on-base streak in MLB history, and if he can keep getting on base, the DH will rocket up the all-time leaderboard. Getting to 53 games would put Ohtani not just in the top 25, but in a tie for 23rd with Alex Rodriguez and four others. Luke Appling is alone at 22nd, with 54. Three others \u2014 Hall of Famers Stan Musial, Harry Heilmann and Cobb again \u2014 are tied for 19th at 55. Five players are tied at 56-straight games, including modern-day legend Barry Bonds. And reaching base for 57 games in a row would get Ohtani into the top 10 all-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">There comes a point where it becomes much more difficult for anyone to climb this leaderboard, however. Orlando Cabrera is fourth with 63-consecutive games, achieved in 2006. Ahead of the former shortstop, though, is Hall of Famer and Red Sox great Ted Williams with a 73-game on-base streak achieved in 1941, DiMaggio again with his top mark of 74 \u2014 also achieved in 1941, as part of his 56-game hitting streak \u2014 and then Williams in 1949, when he reached base in an absurd\u00a084-straight games. Williams would bat .343\/.490\/.650 for the season, and win his second of two MVP awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">Here are the top 25 on-base streaks in MLB history: Ohtani is one game away from making it to that point himself.<\/p>\n<p>RankNameStreak StartStreak EndGamesHBBAVGOBPSLGTeamT23Matty McIntyre1908-07-011908-08-31537132.348.441.451DETT23Ray Blades1925-05-281925-08-13537832.364.454.631STLT23Luke Appling1936-07-131936-09-03537736.370.465.490CHWT23Shawn Green2000-04-252000-06-23536738.344.458.595LADT23Alex Rodriguez2004-04-182004-06-17536831.327.415.596NYY22Luke Appling1938-09-171939-06-05546145.332.463.408CHWT19Ty Cobb1915-04-251915-06-28557650.400.533.532DETT19Harry Heilmann1922-08-171923-06-12559226.455.524.743DETT19Stan Musial1943-08-081943-10-01558227.381.450.623STLT14Roger Bresnahan1904-06-181904-08-30566932.321.416.451NYGT14Arky Vaughan1936-07-181936-09-11567640.382.494.487PITT14Mike Schmidt1981-08-161982-05-08565849.330.478.659PHIT14Barry Bonds2001-08-162002-04-20566679.415.6161.050SFGT14Ryan Klesko2002-04-092002-06-14566739.338.446.606SDPT9George Kell1950-05-131950-07-09579029.395.463.570DETT9Wade Boggs1985-05-271985-07-31578835.398.484.548BOST9Frank Thomas1995-09-271996-05-31576947.325.440.618CHWT9Derek Jeter1998-09-241999-06-05578136.370.464.639NYYT9Barry Bonds2003-06-272003-09-20576376.391.587.913SFGT7Duke Snider1954-05-131954-07-11588232.368.448.726BROT7Will Clark1995-09-061996-05-11586543.310.425.471TEX6Jim Thome2002-07-282003-04-05607358.363.502.776CLE-PHI5Mark McGwire1995-09-161996-06-18616557.325.479.810OAK4Orlando Cabrera2006-04-252006-07-06637627.303.372.418LAA3Ted Williams1941-07-201942-04-18739895.428.597.821BOS2Joe DiMaggio1941-05-141941-08-027412034.404.468.731NYY1Ted Williams1949-07-011949-09-278411292.371.518.695BOS<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-ace7f8b6=\"\">Streak data via <a href=\"https:\/\/baseball-reference.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Baseball-Reference<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just 48 players had ever managed an on-base streak of at least 50 games entering the 2026 season,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":596921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[2323,13090,363,3956,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-596920","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","9":"tag-major-league-baseball","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-shohei-ohtani","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/596921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
