Shohei Ohtani went where no baseball player has gone before by completing the first 50-homer, 50-steal season in MLB history Thursday as part of an iconic 6-for-6 performance that included – among other things – three long balls and 10 RBIs.
The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar’s historic 50th blast was a two-run, opposite-field blast off Miami Marlins reliever Mike Baumann in the seventh inning. It also set a new Dodgers single-season record, breaking the previous mark set by Shawn Green in 2001. Homer No. 50 came a few innings after he swiped his 50th base of the season.
