Los Angeles Dodgers’ slugger Shohei Ohtani became the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season with a stunning display of his many talents in Miami on Thursday.
Ohtani, who came into the game needing a stolen base and two home runs to achieve the historic feat, stole bases after his first two at-bats and crushed back-to-back home runs in the fourth and seventh innings.
After his second long ball, Ohtani came out of the dugout to wave at the delirious Dodgers fans on hand at LoanDepot Park.
Ohtani was five-for-five in the game with two doubles, two stolen bases and two home runs and seven RBIs.
The NL West-leading Dodgers led the lowly Marlins 14-3 in the seventh inning.
