Shohei Ohtani became the first player in the history of the MLB to display 50 circuits and 50 stolen bases in a single season last year. It is on the pace of doing something similar in 2025.
Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers star became the first MLB player to reach two -digit circuits and two -digit stolen bases this season, hitting his 10th circuit in sixth round against the Miami marlins. You may remember reaching him the epic fashion 50-50 milestone at the same stadium last year.

In the case of Tuesday's match, the Ohtani circuit was a dubbing of the upper bridge in the right field. He equaled the match 2-2.
A round later, Ohtani struck a double RBI to equalize the match again after a rally of marlins at the end of the sixth. All this came one day after hitting a Homer 117.9 MPH, The long, hardest ball in MLB this season.
With 34 games played for dodgers this season, Ohtani is underway to publish a 47-47 season, assuming that he played in 126 games to play. This would have been an unprecedented achievement if it was not for his 2024 season, which also saw him win his third MVP prize, win his first world series and finish a few sure of the triple crown.

Of course, Ohtani could make another kind of story by returning to the mound while maintaining its current offensive rhythm. You could even call it on 40-40-40 club: 40 Homers, 40 stolen bases, 40 stick withdrawals.
The third stage of this trifecta supposes that Ohtani returns to the mound at some point this season and launches enough sleeves to record the required withdrawals. His progress on this front has been at best troubled – It was announced last year to be in pace for the opening day of this year, but a torn labrum in its shoulder not launched during the World Series interrupted its progress during the offseason.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said last weekend This Ohtani is still a few months before the team's pitching again. He launched some enclosure sessions this season, but is obviously still far from resuming his two -way status.
