He currently has 171 career HR, 329 to get to 500.
His 162 game avg is 40 HR since his MLB debut, so includes his down years.
If we conservatively assume 36 HR per season, that's 9.139 more seasons from today to reach 500 HR, he'll be 38 years old at that pace. (Down to 8.225 seasons @ 40 HR pace)

If 500 HR is automatic HOF, what is 500 HR plus 1000 K? (currently at 608 K)

It appears he will be hitting in the near future...my interpretation is not guaranteed for the rest of the season.

Wormy buyers already cancelling some bids on ebay. I have some consignments out there and bids have been retracted. It's one of the biggest things I hate with ultra modern bois.
Many talk the talk but got no spine.

So much activity today. I hope you all come back and contribute when Sho is healthy too! Great to see him get so much interest from everyone.

You gotta love the guys that come into their precious player threads on a soapbox to say absolutely nothing, while telling others that they aren't saying anything of value. Meanwhile, their player is the most talked about person in sports for the past 4 months and has a major injury that was announced less than 24hrs ago. Heaven for bid people talk w/ each other about it. Thanks for the great contribution guys.

I mean, you're coming into a player thread with some of the most dedicated fans (some myopic, admittedly) and saying some true but insensitive things (given the timing). What were you expecting? I love me some dialogue, but you clearly don't understand human beings if you're puzzled by this behavior.

It happens. Those people might want to stay away for a while. Just completely ignore the entire thread.

Passan ended his beautifully with a great line that many new-comers to this thread should read:

"Optimism is Ohtani's choice. The last time he was at this juncture, he returned and evolved into the greatest baseball player anyone has seen. Doubt him at your peril."

Depends on when you bought & how diamond are your hands. Peak in the last few weeks? 2018? Downfall during the boom?
