Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani became the first player in baseball history to hit 50 home runs and have 50 stolen bases in a single season.
Shohei Ohtani nearly made baseball history in more ways than one on Thursday.
Sure, he became the first player in Major League Baseball history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. But had he been able to get up to the plate one more time, other records might have been matched or broken.
Ohtani went 6-for-6 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, four runs scored and two stolen bases in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins.
