Imagine a player recording four extra-base hits in a World Series game for the first time in 100-plus years, and then walking five times in the same game to make it a perfect 9-for-9 reaching base.

And then realize that performance was easily the weaker of that player’s past two home games.

Well, that’s true for Shohei Ohtani, who played the greatest game ever played his previous game at Dodger Stadium, the week before, hitting three home runs in three official at-bats, and logging the very same 1.000 on-base percentage while also striking out 10 and pitching six shutout innings.

In those two games — the clinching game of the NLCS and the first Dodgers home game in the World Series — Ohtani had a 1.000 on-base percentage, a 3.429 slugging percentage and a 4.429 OPS.
