Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani is finally living up to the expectations that were initially placed on him when he joined the team in the winter of 2017.

Ohtani's first three seasons with the Angels were marred with injuries and inconsistencies, but now, he is putting together a season for the ages.

As a hitter, Ohtani is currently orchestrating a standout campaign in the American League with the Angels. Ohtani sits as the league leader in home runs with 33 and total bases with 210.

On the other side, the Angels slugger is beginning to find his groove as a pitcher. His splitter has been the catalyst to his success on the mound, as he is holding opposing batters to a mere .090 batting average against the pitch this season.

Overall, Ohtani has already set numerous records this season, including breaking Hideki Matsui's notable record for the most home runs hit by a Japanese-born player in a single season.

However, Ohtani may not be done shattering records this season.

Here are three records that Ohtani could very well set over the second half of the 2021 MLB season with the Angels.

Most home runs by an Angels player in a season

Considering the lengthy list of future Hall of Fame hitters that the Angels have had over the years, one would presume that the likes of Mike Trout or Albert Pujols currently hold the record for the most home runs hit in a single season in team history.

However, this is not the case, as Troy Glaus is the all-time Angels leader in this stat; he slugged an astounding 47 home runs over the 2000 season.

If there is one record that is presumably a lock for Shohei Ohtani to break in the coming months, it surely is this one.

As mentioned, the American League MVP candidate currently leads all of baseball in home runs with 33. As it stands, he is on pace to hit 60 home runs this season, which would make him the first player since Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa in 2001 to reach this number.

Barring any injuries, expect to see Ohtani become the new Angels leader in this stat sometime in August.

Most extra-base hits in a season

Much of the talk in baseball as of late has revolved around the striking statistical comparisons between Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth. It seems as every time Shohei pulls off an impressive feat in the batter's box or on the mound for the Angels, he manages to accomplish something that had not been done since Ruth.

Now, Ohtani will have a chance to break one of Ruth's many records that still stand to this day.

For one, Ruth's 1921 season is well regarded as his greatest campaign during his run with the New York Yankees, as he led the league in home runs (59) and RBI (168).

More so, Ruth finished that season with 119 extra-base hits, which is a single-season record that still holds today.

At the moment, Ohtani leads the majors in extra-base hits this season with 56. He is on pace to rack up 102 extra-base hits by season's end for the Angels, which would tie him with Rogers Hornsby (1922) for the 12th most such hits in a single season.

If his performances over the past month give any indication of what could come in the coming months, then Ohtani well has the potential to break this record. For one, he totaled for 20 extra-base hits over 25 games played in the month of June for the Angels, which would put him at a 130 pace in this stat over the course of a full season.

It will be noteworthy to see whether Ohtani breaks this record or even comes close to Ruth's 119 total in this stat.

Best at-bats per home run rate in a season

This would be a long shot for the Angels two-way star.

Shohei Ohtani currently leads baseball this season in at-bats per home run with a staggering 9.12 rate, with San Diego Padres slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. right behind him with a 9.75 rate.

Barring any late-season collapse by Ohtani, he should finish the season as the clear-cut leader in this stat.

In the big picture, Ohtani has a slim but doable chance at breaking the record for best at-bats per home run rate in a season.

At the moment, Ohtani's 9.12 at-bats per home run number ranks 12th all-time. Above him in this leaderboard are the typical names that one would expect to see in any home runs leaderboard, from Barry Bonds to Mark McGwire.

As expected, Bonds is the clear all-time leader in this stat, as he notched a world-class 6.52 at-bats per home run rate in his historic 2001 season.

Ohtani has a long way to go before he can lower his current at-bats per home run rate to anywhere near Bonds' 6.52 number. However, he did come into the All-Star break in tremendous form with the Angels. He has hit 14 home runs over his last 75 at-bats, which is an impressive 5.36 at-bats per home run rate.

As mentioned, Ohtani's chances of breaking this record are quite slim, and much of this will depend on his performances over the rest of July.
