Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani reached rarefied air Thursday in becoming baseball's first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in one season in a sport that dates back to 1876.

It was perhaps fitting that Shohei Ohtani should achieve one of baseball’s most remarkable feats with an out-of-this-world performance.

MIAMI (AP) — Shohei Ohtani became the first major league player to exceed 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season during the most spectacular game of a history-making career for the Los Angeles Dodgers star, going deep three times and swiping two bags on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.
