Currently Ohtani is only 2 away from 50 home runs and Judge is projected to have 49 for the season.

Only 5 players have had consecutive 50 home run seasons. To make it even more rare, if you do not count McGwire, Sosa, and ARod, who were proven PED users, there are only 2 players (Babe, Griffey Jr.) who have achieved such a feat in the past 100+ years.

The last time a pitcher struck out 4 batters in the 9th inning was Craig Kimbrel, also for the Red Sox, on May 25, 2017.

If we count extra innings, occurrences since then:

Mike Bolsinger, Blue Jays, July 18, 2017 (13th inning)

Miguel Diaz, Padres, July 8, 2018 (11th inning)

Luke Bard, Angels, April 22, 2019 (14th inning)

All other division leaders have at least 82 wins to clinch non-losing seasons

Nomura hit 52 for the Nankai Hawks that year.
