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.

Shohei Ohtani has done everything a designated hitter can do to wrap up a Most Valuable Player award, and then some. Thursday in Miami, Ohtani went 6 for 6 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, and two stolen bases.
