Shohei Ohtani Makes MLB History With First 50-Homer, 50-Steal Season

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani made Major League Baseball history on Thursday, becoming the first player ever to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. Ohtani officially established MLB's 50-50 club with a seventh-inning homer in the Dodgers' 20-4 victory over the Marlins in Miami. The win clinched the Dodgers' post-season berth -- a first for Ohtani, who never made the playoffs even as he earned two American League Most Valuable Player awards while with the Los Angles Angels.

Shohei Ohtani usually sits at the end of the Los Angeles Dodgers' bench closest to home plate, far from first-base coach Clayton McCullough, who likes to lean against the railing on the other side. But Ohtani will regularly walk the full length of the Dodger Stadium dugout, tablet in hand, and tap McCullough on his back. «Look at this,» Ohtani will say, and then he'll reveal his latest finding — a new pattern to help him determine when an opposing pitcher might attempt a pickoff or begin his delivery. A shift of his weight. A tilt of his head. A twitch of his glove. Anything to provide the slightest edge for another stolen base.
