Why does Shohei Ohtani's 50-50 feat resonate so much in baseball?
Major League Baseball over the past century-and-a-half, none had a season with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases — until now.
Shohei Ohtani became the first 50-50 player on Thursday when the Los Angeles Dodgers star hit his 50th and 51st home runs and stole his 50th and 51st bases.
Home runs and steals are among the more popular baseball records — if not the most revered in the history of the game — whether it be most home runs (73) in a season or the modern-day mark for most stolen bases (130) in a season. So when one player reaches the once-unthinkable half-century mark in both, it stands out.
Ohtani has captivated fans by doing what no player has done in two of the game's most admired skill sets in the game.
Just last month, on Aug. 23, Ohtani became only the sixth 40-40 player when he stole his 40th base in the fourth inning against Tampa Bay and hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the ninth inning off Colin Poche for his 40th homer.
