In the matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners on the 27th, Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 but reached base via a walk and successfully stole a base, becoming the first player in history to achieve “50 home runs and 20 steals in a single season” twice.
Shohei Ohtani has accumulated 54 home runs this season. Although he did not record a hit in today’s three at-bats, after receiving a walk in his second plate appearance, he promptly completed his 20th stolen base of the year. This marks his second remarkable season achieving “50 home runs and 20 steals,” following last year’s “54 home runs and 59 steals.”
