There have been 20,782 players in MLB history. Only one of them has ever hit 48 home runs and stolen 48 bases in the same season. That player is also a pitcher, and currently recovering from a torn UCL. Shohei Ohtani is the greatest player of all time.
You said it. Instead of Ohtani sitting on the bench nursing his Arm injury as a SP, he decided to be to a use for his [new] team, beating majority of career hitters, slugging with only one 100% arm, to a new MLB record… Wether you are Yankee or east coast fans/media, we all should enjoy a baseball player more rare than Halley’s Comet ☄️
I can only imagine what it was like following DiMaggios 56 game hitting streak. That’s how I feel watching ohtanis quest for 50/50. Like Joe D it’s historic.
5050 is very likely to me at this pace. He will not care about single double or avg, he will just do fullswing for all his bats now since the dodgers is already in playoff anyway so it is very likely.
What made the 50-50 event memorable and maybe considered the greatest single game in baseball history is the surrounding background the historic record was achieved.
People say 50th HR will be valuable, but it will actually be whatever the last HR in the season he hit will be (51, 52, etc.) that will be most valuable, because that will be the record ball.
I disagree. If Ohtani gets 52 HR and 53 SB. People will still only say he’s in the 50/50 club. No one is going to say Ohtani is in the 52/52 club or 52/53 club for that matter. Because of that most fans will remember Ohtani being the one and only in the "50/50" club but wont really remember how many actual HRs he hit. Everyone made a huge fuss about his 40th HR to get him in the 40/40 club. People mocking the fan for dropping the ball. I haven't heard anyone making any fuss about his 41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48 HR balls even though those balls put him in the exclusive 43/43, 44/44, 45/45, etc club.
It's not just the injuries, but the inconsistent pitching of the uninjured pitchers. They've been a monumental source of frustration for the team and the fans.
Don’t worry Dan. He not only achieved the milestone today, but he did in style like never been done before. He went 6-6, 3 HR 10 RBI and 2SB. He is MAGICAL to say the least.
Multiples of 5 or 10 are only considered important because we have 5 fingers on each hand. If we had 4, then the important numbers would be 4, 8, 12...44, 48, 52, etc.
@@willzsportscards 51 is even harder to do than 50. 52 is harder than 51. The reason humans use a decimal counting system is that we have 5 fingers on each hand. If all humans had four fingers on each hand we'd use an octal counting system. If we had 6 fingers we'd use a duodecimal sydtem. It's all arbitrary. But, if you like the number 50, then good for you.
Prediction for 2025....Sho hits 40+ dingers, 120 ribbies, lots of steals, maybe .280 avg., gets 20 pitching wins (including 2 no hitters), All-Star MVP, regular season MVP, Cy Young winner, World Series MVP, ESPY athlete of the year....then plays his first round of golf, breaks par and has a hole-in-one on a par 4. Bank it!
Now with interleague play where every team faces one another, it should be only one player per award. They don’t have NFC AFC MVPs in the NFL or Western/Eastern conference MVP in the NBA.
People really down playing this cause he is just DH! No top 10 player can do what Ohtani is doing if they just DH'd lets be real.. shit even in history lol Big Papi has four seasons with over 40 homers and two seasons with over 50 and combined for 5 stolen bases in those seasons... FIVE 😂 and even when Ohtani is pitching he is top 5 in both offense and defense every time or damn near close to it! Stop hating and give the man his flowers!
he already is penalized in calculation of WAR because he is a DH and he still is top IN WAR ... some comments are negative and not knowledgeable about rating and ranking
He now has 49 Stolen bases. So it is 48/49. I hope Ohtani's dog is on hand when his does the 50/50. That is a really smart dog and would be like icing on top when he makes it. This will certainly over ride the stain of his interpreter and his dragging Ohtani's name into his behavior.
Not to take anything away from acuna who started his own 40-70 club a couple of seasons ago… 48/48 sounds amazing but getting to 50 homers would definitely have a special ring to it.
Been saying this all along. 50 is just a nice number. Just like the 10 commandments. Listen to George Carlin. Why 10? Why not 11? GTFOH. Visually and soundly pleasing number
The guy hasn’t as so much played a defensive position and they’re calling him the greatest ever. He shouldn’t even qualify for MVP. People are confusing this as a popularity contest.
@@punyaweeco4370 while you have a point there, the narrative of him having the only 50/50 season and the first DH to win an MVP is too good to pass up. A DH will never win an MVP unless he is hitting unreal numbers + doing something historic........oh wait, we have one right now. Both of them will be mvp I think but If I have to pick one, the narrative of shohei will always win.
Yankees fans think they ain’t northern trash your conspiracy theory was true….

51-51 now😅 what a day makes a difference . Shohei amazing
He did it!!!
3 HR and two stolen bases in today's game!
51-51
🤯🤯🤯
GOATANI
Right on Dan!! Who else has 48 48, that is pretty special.
!!! Ppl think 48/48 isn't as impressive when is still smth that nobody has done.
I hope he gets 50/50 regardless 🙏 would be more iconic
He did it with probably the best game in the history of MLB. 6-6, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 2 SB, 5 XBH, and inches from the cycle.
5050 is very likely to me at this pace. He will not care about single double or avg, he will just do fullswing for all his bats now since the dodgers is already in playoff anyway so it is very likely.
“I’m not going to that club…” Seatin acts like they would let him in! 😂
Well we aint gotta worry about it since he's 51/51
50 HRs gives him the Dodgers club record too, so it definitely has value. he'll get it done
Already 48/49

50th ball will be the money ball, especially if he takes 50 bases.
The slew of injuries with the pitching staff has really hindered his progress. He can't comfortably go for the record with the games on the line.
It's not just the injuries, but the inconsistent pitching of the uninjured pitchers. They've been a monumental source of frustration for the team and the fans.

I only have four fingers on each hand and i still consider multiples of 5 the bees knees.
dude is just rambling. 50/50 absolutely more newsworthy. It's how we're wired. Oh yeah, it's also harder to do.🤣🤣

💯 agreed GOTANI 💪
51/51 !
There's an arbitrariness to our species evolving with 10 digits on our hands, so seeing the world in terms of base 10.
Judge is in the American League and Shohei in National and each League has a MVP
Now with interleague play where every team faces one another, it should be only one player per award. They don’t have NFC AFC MVPs in the NFL or Western/Eastern conference MVP in the NBA.

People are so hung up on 50-50....48-48 is already a new record
Just needs 2 Homeruns now!
Can we acknowledge the rule changes too. Bigger bases and only 3 pickoffs and pitch clock. Acuña had 40/70
OHTANI WILL HAVE 51/51 AFTER ONE MORE GAME IN FLORIDA TO HONOR HIS IDOL ICHIRO #51
Well that was fast lol 50/51 !
People are gonna walk him out of that club; barry bonds style.
I was there
I just hope teams don’t just intentional walk him, unless they really have to.
"Russell Westbrook Junior the third"?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now 48/49
He now has 49 Stolen bases.
So it is 48/49.
I hope Ohtani's dog is on hand when his does the 50/50. That is a really smart dog and would be like icing on top when he makes it.
This will certainly over ride the stain of his interpreter and his dragging Ohtani's name into his behavior.
48 is just as magical as 50? 😂
Ok then, give me $2,000 out of your $50,000.
Dan you’re funny
It's tough to have a triple double and have a bad game.
It’s about winning the game
So he needed to stop at 50-50 😂?
Hoarders set.
If Ohtani gets 50/50 will he mess it up and get 50/51??
Westbrook Junior the III, 😂😂😂
Russell Westbrook Junior the 3rd
Club Ohtani 50/50
Of course 50/50 is more magical than 48/48. Just like 51/51 would be better than 50/50. Come on man think.
Not to take anything away from acuna who started his own 40-70 club a couple of seasons ago… 48/48 sounds amazing but getting to 50 homers would definitely have a special ring to it.
Oh now he cares about baseball ?
Does 51/52 have the same ring? I doubt he's going get to 50/50 and purposely stop stealing bases or hitting home runs.
Been saying this all along. 50 is just a nice number. Just like the 10 commandments. Listen to George Carlin. Why 10? Why not 11? GTFOH. Visually and soundly pleasing number
69/69
He should have 50 steeling 2nd and 3rd in the 3rd today. ??
Nah. They do not count that one. So he has 49
He only stole second. He advanced to third on an error, it's not it's own steal.
Imagine Ohtani one season going 41/ 73 batting .337. That would almost be unheard of!
with 10 wins as a starting pitcher
Jose Rameriz is approaching 40/40/40 without the same lineup around him...
Who is that?
What has lineup got to do with hitting 40 HR's and SB's??🤦♂️

@@avcabalo a position player is 100 times more deserving than a guy who sits on the bench waiting for his turn to hit.
As an Ohtani fan, this season he is not the MVP for me, its Aaron Judge. But when he pitch and hit like in 2023, he is clearly an MVP.

your conspiracy theory was true…. Ohtani was the most disciplined gambling addict ever and ever
We know because from the 37 page criminal complaint that you didn’t read
the IRS took and tracked Ohtani’s electronic devices as well
And yes he didn’t log in or check that bank account. It was dormant until Mizuhara started to transfer money out of the account
Ohtani never once contacting the 3 bookies from his own devices
Not even going on bookie websites for a look see on his own devices
Not even to check odds or even see what games are up on his own devices
9600 pages of text messages on his phone with Mizuhara over a 4 year period
Never once was talk about any of the 19000 bets he supposedly made through Mizuhara over a 26 month period
That’s 24 bets a day for 2 years and 2 months straight… yet crickets from Ohtani
Take for example Jontay Porter
From what I am reading they have text messages and IP address on Porter gambling
On just 13 bets made with text going back and forth with his co-conspirator’s talking about this gambling
Found another trump supporter
Too bad Pete bet on his own team game 😞
