Shohei Ohtani Nears Historic 50-Home Run, 50-Steal Season

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers made headlines by stealing his 50th and 51st bases during a game against the Miami Marlins, bringing him closer to becoming the first player in Major League Baseball history to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. Currently, Ohtani has 48 home runs and is just two away from the historic milestone. His exceptional performance included a leadoff double, followed by a stolen third base and an RBI single. The base he stole was immediately removed for safekeeping, highlighting its potential value. Ohtani's impressive season comes after recovering from Tommy John surgery and has put him in contention for his third MVP award. The Dodgers are gearing up for their final homestand of the season, where Ohtani will have the opportunity to hit those crucial home runs in front of the home crowd.
