live broadcast on september 20th, in a game today in the american major league baseball, the los angeles dodgers defeated the miami marlins 20-4.

dodgers player shohei ohtani achieved 51 home runs and 51 stolen bases this season, completing 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases and breaking the mlb (major league baseball) history record.

as a two-way player who can pitch and hit, shohei ohtani has not pitched this season due to an arm injury.

a home run (pictured below) refers to an offensive method in which a batter hits the opponent's ball (usually over the outfield fence) and then runs through first, second, and third base in sequence and returns safely to home base.

stealing a base (pictured below) refers to the action of a base runner leaving the original base in advance and successfully occupying the base in front of him when the pitcher throws the ball. successful stealing of a base requires not only speed, but also the base runner's correct judgment of the situation on the field.

at the end of last month, shohei ohtani completed the achievement of 40 home runs and 40 steals, becoming the sixth player in mlb history and the first player in dodgers history to have a 40-40 season.

last december, shohei ohtani left the los angeles angels after playing for five years and joined the los angeles dodgers. according to multiple us media reports, the 10-year, $700 million contract shohei ohtani signed with the dodgers set a world sports record.

ohtani's contract also comes with an unprecedented deferred payment, which means he will only receive 2 million per year and the remaining 680 million will be paid after 10 years. according to media reports, ohtani hopes that the dodgers will use this salary space to strengthen the team.
