Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Records Hit No. 1,000 with 440-Foot Bomb

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 6 – Ohtani struck out eight batters over four innings and hit a 440-foot homer for his 1,000th career hit while pitching for the Dodgers after returning from elbow surgery.

  • Shohei Ohtani hit his 1,000th career MLB hit with a go-ahead, two-run homer on August 6, 2025, against the St. Louis Cardinals in Los Angeles.
  • Ohtani, who missed the 2024 season recovering from elbow surgery, returned as a two-way player, with the Dodgers managing his pitching workload carefully.
  • In his eighth pitching start of 2025, Ohtani struck out eight batters over four innings, allowed one run and two hits, and hit his 39th homer of the season.
  • The 440-foot homer scored Alex Call, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead, with Ohtani also lowering his season ERA to 2.37 and becoming the 59th active MLB player with 1,000 hits.
  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, "It's been over two years since he's done this," and expects Ohtani's performance to improve with more time and adjustment to his routine.
