Shohei Ohtani Nears Historic 50-50 Season
Ohtani is just three home runs and two stolen bases away from becoming the first MLB player to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season.
- Shohei Ohtani currently stands at 47 home runs and 48 stolen bases for the season.
- The Dodgers' upcoming seven-game road trip includes four games in Atlanta and three in Miami, where Ohtani is likely to reach the milestone.
- Ohtani has been successful in his last 25 stolen base attempts, significantly increasing his frequency and success rate.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts attributes Ohtani's increased stolen bases to his offseason elbow surgery, which has limited his pitching this year.
- Ohtani's performance is expected to solidify his chances for the NL MVP award, despite competition from players like the Mets' Francisco Lindor.
