CNN —Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani etched his name in Major League Baseball history on Thursday, becoming the inaugural member of the 50-50 club on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.
A 50-50 season consists of 50+ home runs and 50+ stolen bases in a single season.
The historic accomplishment comes after Ohtani faced a personally difficult start to his time in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani (17) celebrates after hitting his 50th home run of the season during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Miami Marlins, Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, in Miami.
With the win against Miami, the Dodgers are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs and give Ohtani his first chance to shine in October.
