Past 10 triple crown winners “No player has been on the mound even once in the year he won”
What are the chances of Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani winning the Triple Crown? The MLB official site has started chasing by creating an unusual feature page, catching the great record of only 10 people in the past. In it, he introduces “Three things you need to know in Ohtani’s Triple Crown fight”.
The feature page updates the daily results of Ohtani and his rivals. 308 batting average (3rd place), 40 homers (1st place), 83 RBIs (2nd place), all of which are in the top 3 in the league as of the 8th (Japan time 9th). Rays’ Yandi Diaz leads the batting average with .322, while Rangers’ Adris Garcia leads the RBI with 89.
There are also only 10 previous Triple Crown winners, two of whom have won multiple times. Miguel Cabrera (Tigers) in 2012 is the most recent achiever. On the other hand, he also mentioned that there were more players who left high numbers in the three divisions and caused “near misses”. Judge (2022), Guerrero Jr. (2021), Ozuna (2020), and every year there are players who are regrettable.
And if Ohtani does, there are three big points. The first is, “First ever for an Angels player. First for any expansion franchise.” Secondly, “If Ohtani wins, he will be an American League player for the 7th time in a row.” The last time a NL player was acquired was in 1937 by Medwick (Cardinals). It happened 86 years ago. This looks like a good trend for Ohtani, who plays in the American League.
And the most unusual thing is that “out of the past 10 players who won the triple crown, none of them went up to the mound even once in the year they won.” Of course, because Ohtani is playing as an unusual two-way player, he said, “Ohtani has done a great job as a pitcher as well, so he will make his feat as a hitter even more impressive.”
