Shohei Ohtani Nears Historic 50-50 Milestone

Shohei Ohtani has made history by stealing his 50th base during a game against the Miami Marlins, bringing him within two home runs of achieving the first-ever 50/50 season in Major League Baseball. In the same game, he hit a leadoff double and later scored, already boasting 49 home runs this season. Ohtani's remarkable speed on the bases has led to him being successful on his last 28 stolen base attempts, a testament to his aggressive style and strategic prowess. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Ohtani for recognizing his potential as a base stealer, particularly after his recovery from elbow surgery allowed him to focus on batting and base running. With only a few games left in the season, the excitement builds around whether Ohtani will complete this historic feat. His combination of power and speed has drawn comparisons to no other player in the sport's history.
