Shohei Ohtani created baseball historical past when he turned the primary participant to hit 50 house runs and steal 50 bases in a season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers famous person stole third base within the first inning in opposition to the Miami Marlins to hit the primary a part of the document.
He then recorded his 51st steal earlier than smashing a forty ninth house run of the season within the sixth inning, tying a Dodgers’ document for many house runs in a season set by Shawn Inexperienced in 2001.
Ohtani then made it 50 house runs within the subsequent inning to grow to be the primary participant to document the 50-50- feat.
The 30-year-old Japanese participant joined the Dodgers on a 10-year $700m (£527m) contract in December – the most important deal within the sport’s historical past – which made him one of many highest-earning athletes on this planet.
