Sept 19 (Reuters) – Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani on Thursday became the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season.

Ohtani, who came into the game needing a stolen base and two home runs to achieve the historic feat, stole after his first two at-bats before hitting back-to-back home runs in the fourth and seventh innings.
