Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani etched his name in Major League Baseball history on Thursday, becoming the inaugural member of the 50-50 club against the Miami Marlins. A 50-50 season consists of 50+ home runs and 50+ stolen bases in a single season. Ohtani, who became the fastest player to record 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season, hit his 50th homer of the season in the top of the seventh inning after stealing his 50th and 51st bases earlier in the game. The Japanese two-way sensation gave the Dodgers a 14-3 lead with his historic home run. Incredibly, he homered again in his next at-bat in the 9th inning, giving him three for the game. He entered the record books in unreal fashion, hitting two doubles, a single, three home runs and stealing two bases – one of the most prolific offensive performances of the season by any player. The game was the first three-homer game of Ohtani’s career and the first 10 RBI game of his career. The Dodgers ended up winning the game 20-4 over Miami, clinching a spot in the playoffs.
