Shohei Ohtani became the first player ever to collect 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in an MLB season.

The two -way star is the first to do so while simultaneously founding a club that didn’t previously exist.

The 50th home run marked a new Dodgers single-season franchise record.

Ohtani joined the 40 -40 club in emphatic fashion against the Rays on Aug. 23 .

His 12 homers and 15 steals in August made him just the eighth player ever to collect at least 10 homers and 10 stolen bases in a calendar month .

The earliest any of the previous five members of the club had reached both milestones was Alfonso Soriano in 2006 , who stole his 40th base in the Nationals’ 148th game of the season .
