Shohei Ohtani signed the largest contract in baseball history at the time in December 2023, and in his first two years in Los Angeles has won two championships, won two MVP awards, and set two Dodgers single-season home run records.
Ohtani’s 54 home runs in 2024 were five more than Shawn Green’s previous franchise mark set 22 years prior. Then in 2025, Ohtani added one more to his total, to date the only player in MLB history to hit exactly 55 home runs in a season.
That brings us to another Dodgers record that is well within reach for Ohtani in 2026.
Most home runs in a 3-year span, Dodgers
- Duke Snider (1954-56) 125
- Duke Snider (1955-57) 125
- Duke Snider (1953-55) 124
- Shawn Green (2000-02) 115
- Gary Sheffield (1999-2001) 113
- Cody Bellinger (2017-19) 111
- Shawn Green (2001-03) 110
- Shohei Ohtani (2024-25) 109
Only four Dodgers — covering seven total spans — have hit more home runs in a three-year span than Ohtani hit in his first two seasons.
He’s already 31st in Dodgers history with his 109 home runs, and he’s only played two years for them.
Ohtani needs only 17 home runs in 2026 to set a Dodgers records for most homers in a three-year span. If he has another year anywhere close to his last two seasons, more rarefied air is in play.
Six Dodgers have three or more consecutive seasons of 30 or more home runs: Gil Hodges five years (1950-54), Duke Snider five years (1953-57), Mike Piazza (1995-97), Eric Karros (1995-97), Raúl Mondesi (1997-99), and Gary Sheffield (1999-2001).
Snider, who hit at least 40 home runs in five straight years from 1953-57, is the only Dodger with more than two seasons of 40 home runs.
Ohtani hit 46, 34, and 44 home runs in his final three years with the Angels, giving him 233 home runs over the last five seasons, an average of just shy of 47 per year. His projections for this season are in that same area:
Today’s question is how many home runs with Shohei Ohtani hit in 2026?
