Shohei Ohtani reached 50 consecutive games on base. On April 18, he singled with two outs in the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The Dodgers lost 3-4, but the streak hit its milestone.
The run dates back to August 25, 2025. It has carried across two seasons to arrive at 50.
In 1923, Babe Ruth reached base in 51 consecutive games. Ohtani's 50 sits one game short of that mark. The eras are different, but the shared trait is singular: reaching base, game after game.
In Dodgers franchise history since 1900, Duke Snider's 58 games stands as the longest. Shawn Green's 53 is second. Ohtani now sits tied with Willie Keeler for third.
The milestone was confirmed by a hit in Ohtani's final plate appearance of the night. Games in which a player does not record a plate appearance do not break an on-base streak.
Fifty games. Regardless of the means — hit, walk, or hit by pitch — the act of reaching base, sustained over that span, is what gives the record its weight.
