It seemingly was going to happen at some point, but Shohei Ohtani made Major League Baseball history on Thursday at the expense of former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Baumann. The chase to become the first player ever to record a 50 home run and 50 stolen bases season has been on for the Japanese phenom since seemingly the middle of summer when his aggressiveness on the basepaths began to increase.

MIAMI (AP) — Shohei Ohtani became the first major league player to exceed 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season during the most spectacular game of a history-making career for the Los Angeles Dodgers star, going deep three times and swiping two bags on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.

Shohei Ohtani becomes the first player to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season as the Dodgers beat Miami 20-4 to clinch a playoff berth.
