Ohtani was expected to complete the unprecedented achievement after becoming the fastest player in league history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani became the first player in recorded Major League Baseball history to both homer and steal 50 times in a single season on Thursday in an unforgettable afternoon against the Miami Marlins.

In the Dodgers' 20-4 demolition of the Marlins, Ohtani was responsible for half of the team’s runs, going an astonishing 6-for-6 at the plate. He hammered three home runs, two doubles, and a single, accounting for 17 total bases. To add to the spectacle, Ohtani also stole two bases, making his impact felt across every facet of the game.
