Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani’s on-base streak passes World Series MVP

Shohei Ohtani continues to build his place in Los Angeles Dodgers history, extending his on-base streak while helping power the club’s strong 14–4 start to the 2026 season. The superstar delivered again Tuesday night, further fueling the team’s early season momentum.

Ohtani reached base for the 48th consecutive game during a 2–1 win vs. the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium Tuesday. With that mark, he moved past Ron Cey on the franchise leaderboard. Cey, a World Series co-MVP, previously held a 47-game streak. The Japanese superstar now stands alone in fourth place in Dodgers history.

The milestone underscores the consistency behind Ohtani’s production. His streak dates back to late August 2025 and remains the longest active run in the sport. It reflects a combination of elite plate discipline and consistent contact at the highest level.

MLB’s Sarah Langs shared the historical context of the streak on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing the two-way superstar’s place among the franchise’s all-time leaders.

“Longest on-base streaks, Dodgers since 1900:

1954 Duke Snider: 58 games

2000 Shawn Green: 53

1900-01 Willie Keeler: 50

2025-26 Shohei Ohtani: 48 *active

1975-76 Ron Cey: 47”

Ohtani’s rise on the list emphasizes both durability and sustained excellence. The four-time MVP’s ability to reach base consistently has played a crucial role in the Dodgers’ success, providing stability at the top of the lineup.

With 48 games completed, attention now shifts to Duke Snider’s franchise record of 58. If Ohtani maintains his current pace, he could challenge one of the most respected marks in Dodgers history.

As the season progresses, Ohtani’s on-base streak will remain a talking point. Each game brings him closer to history while reinforcing his status as one of the most dynamic players to play the game.
