Shohei Ohtani's dramatic entry into 40-40 club shows why he's in a class all by himself in MLB

It seems like there's nothing on Earth that Shohei Ohtani can’t do, particularly on a baseball diamond.

OK, we know he can't pitch this season, as he's recovering from a 2023 elbow injury. But he certainly can hit, and this year, he has shown he can run like never before.

He has won two unanimous MVP awards and in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers he has added another achievement to an already outstanding seven-year career. The two-way superstar became the sixth player in MLB history to join the prestigious 40 home runs, 40 stolen bases club in the Dodgers’ 7-3 victory to the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.
