this guy was inches away from the cycle on the day he went 50/50 and still went 5-5 with 2 HR and 2 SB smh
Yep, I still love baseball. Goosies
He has truly given us something spectacular to watch.
“wEsT cOaSt BiAs!”
John Heyman in shambles right now.
I think this guy is going to be a fairly decent add for the Dodgers
Congratulations to Shohei! It’s a pleasure to watch greatness play out in real-time.

Let’s gooooo
This kid’s going places
Joe Davis is a fuckin gem
Crazy to think this is his injured year and he’s not pitching. This guy is just amazing.
Shohei is a player for the generations.
I wish he was still an Angel and not a dang Dodger. We need more lore other than Yankees and Dodgers.
Stopped work and gathered the family for that AB. Unbelievable talent.
Jose Canseco is rolling over in his grave
Just commenting to cement this in my Reddit history
Why 50-50 had never happened before in baseball even though there are plenty of players hitting 50+ HRs, and plenty stealing 50 bases. Putting these 2 stats together they become almost impossible to happen. Why, because hitting HRs and stealing bases are opposite of each other. If you hit a HR, then you lose a chance to get on base to steal. Players who hit many HRs tend to be big, bulky strong players and they have to give up speed for power. A baseball player who hits HRs and steals bases is like a basketball player leading the league in blocks and steals or a football defenseman leading in tackles and interceptions. So yeah, what Ohtani has just done is beyond magnificent.
#THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE
6/6 3 HRs 10 RBIs
Imagine if Ohtani was able to pitch this year and the Dodgers made him their closer. He could’ve founded the 50/50/50 club.
Make that 51/51
51st hr. Wow. 10 rbis. Unreal!
Ohtani going for 55/55 !!
The Dodgers have now scored 7 more runs this game than the Carolina Panthers have points all season.
It’s amazing what Ohtani is accomplishing. But does anyone else think that a younger pre-roids Barry Bonds couldn’t have done 50/50? Or maybe Alex Rodriguez. I’m almost positive they could have.
He’s insane, like he was made in a lab.
Because he is a dodge, I want him to fail hard in the playoffs
Okay, but like the MLB just made rule changes that 1000% encourage stealing bases. Bigger bases and disengagement rule.
I’m not completely shitting on Shohei or Elly. But c’mon. This is MLB marketing steals. I’m not saying it needs an asterisk, but yeah, it’s a new era and not really comparable.
9 Games left and 6 with the Rockies, man could hit the 60/60 club.

We’re witnessing quite possibly the greatest baseball player of all time.
I got a good feeling about this Ohtani guy.
That was legit the loudest I have ever heard LoanDepot Park.
Most HR’s in a season by a Dodger passing Shawn Green’s 49
I was here
Is it possible to be the GOAT at a sport without winning a major title? I think it is.
Currently 5 for 5, too. He’s like, “Lemme just get this over real quick today.”
god damn that hit made a satisfying noise
Shohei is insane!
Absolutely incredible. Yet another ceiling smashed through in baseball
That is insane
I can’t wait to see him pitching again also. Nothing like watching him pitch a gem then go 3/4 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs
Yep he’s the GOAT. How does someone even do this
Dudes 5-5 AB with 2 HR and 2 SB, pretty insane stat line lol
Edit: 6-6 AB with 3 HR and 2 SB AND 10 RBIs, an even more insane stat line lol
Absolutely the best player I have ever seen
Yeah, that guys OK I guess
Whoever caught that ball is gonna make a couple bucks
shohei ohtani now owns the two biggest moments in loandepot park history
This is insane! Take a bow MVP
Kinda cool that I saw 49th home run at the start of my poop and the 50th at the end. Both on reddit!
7 min after the 50th
15 min after the 49th
This guy will go down as a legend
Someone already created a [50–50 club Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/50%E2%80%9350_club), those editors sure work fast.
