Shohei Ohtani becomes 1st MLB player to 50-50 milestone on an absolute monster home run

Shohei Ohtani MLB

(This story was updated to add new information.)

The 50-50 club in baseball belongs to one man and one man only: Shohei Ohtani.

On Thursday against the Miami Marlins, Ohtani reached the 50 home runs, 50 stolen bases milestone for the season, becoming the first MLB player to hit that mark ever. Yes, ever! Stealing 50 bases in a season has been accomplished nearly 500 times, and hitting 50 home runs in a season has been done 50 times. But Ohtani is now the first person in MLB history to do both in a single season. And in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 153rd game of the season too!

During Thursday’s game, Ohtani stole two bases and hit three home runs to get to the 50-50 mark. The final home run that put him over the milestone was a beauty that was crushed to deep left field that everyone in the stadium knew was gone.

What an absolute no doubter from Ohtani there. What a welcome to the 50-50 club!
