Shohei Ohtani continues his historic pursuit of becoming the first player in MLB history to achieve a 50-50 season, as he recorded his 47th home run and 48th stolen base in a game against the Chicago Cubs. Ohtani's solo home run and subsequent stolen base contributed to the Los Angeles Dodgers' strong performance, where they overcame an early deficit to win 10-8. This season, Ohtani has now hit a home run and stolen a base in 12 games, tying him for the second-most such games in a single season, just behind Rickey Henderson. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Ohtani's performance, further solidifying his candidacy for the NL MVP award. While some critics argue that stolen bases are easier to achieve due to recent rule changes, Ohtani's accomplishments are still celebrated as historic. With only 17 games left in the regular season, Ohtani is just three home runs and two stolen bases away from making history.
