In an unforgettable display of skill, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers made history on Friday night, by hitting his 52nd home run and stealing his 52nd base during a game against the Colorado Rockies. This impressive feat marked Ohtani’s 14th occasion of hitting a home run and stealing a base in the same game, setting a new Major League Baseball (MLB) record and surpassing the previous high of 13 held by the legendary Rickey Henderson since 1986. OHTANI’S PERFORMANCE PROPELS DODGERS TO VICTORY Thanks to Ohtani’s remarkable performance, the Dodgers triumphed over the Rockies with a score of 6-4, bringing their magic number down to just four to clinch the National League West title and secure a spot in the postseason. Ohtani’s contributions were crucial in this win, as he not only hit the record-breaking home run but also showcased his agility and skill with successful stolen bases and an infield single that helped cement the team’s lead.
