Shohei Ohtani stole his 50th base on Thursday and is now just two home runs away from the first 50-50 season in major league history.
Shohei Ohtani stole his 50th base in the first inning against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, putting the Los Angeles Dodgers star two home runs away from the first 50-50 season in major league history. Ohtani hit a leadoff double against Edward Cabrera and swiped third on the front end of a double steal with Freddie Freeman, who reached on a walk. Ohtani later scored on a sacrifice fly by Will Smith to put the Dodgers ahead 1-0. Ohtani has been successful on his last 27 stolen base attempts.
He's the sixth player in major league history and the fastest ever to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a season, needing just 126 games. Manager Dave Roberts said before Thursday's game that he noticed Ohtani getting more aggressive on the bases in the second half of the season. 'I also think that Shohei realized how good of a base-stealer he has become or can become,' Roberts said. 'I think he likes the challenge of studying pitchers and learning the tendencies.
