Shohei Ohtani has captivated fans with mix of speed, power
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, left, of Japan, watches the ball as he hits a home run, scoring Max Muncy and Chris Taylor, during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 19, 2024, in Miami.Among the roughly 23,000 men who played played Major League Baseball over the past century-and-a-half, none had a season with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases – until now.
So when one player reaches the once-unthinkable half-century mark in both, it stands out. Ohtani has captivated fans by doing what no player has done in two of the game’s most admired skill sets in the game.JJust last month, on Aug. 23, Ohtani became only the sixth 40-40 player when he stole his 40th base in the fourth inning against Tampa Bay and hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the ninth inning off Colin Poche for his 40th homer.
