The Los Angeles Times award-winning staff takes readers behind the scenes during baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani's journey from Japan to the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani’s historic first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers keeps hitting new heights. He became the first player in major league history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season, surpassing both milestones in Thursday night’s 20-4 victory over the Miami Marlins.

Ohtani hit his 50th homer of the season in the top of the seventh inning after stealing his 50th and 51st bases earlier in the game.
