Shohei Ohtani continues to show why he is one of the best baseball players currently in the MLB. With the Los Angeles Dodgers, he has remained the standard-bearer based on his good performances in his at-bats.

This weekend, in the matchup against the Athletics, he went 30-30 for the first time in his career (home runs and stolen bases), making him only the third Dodgers player to do so.

The other Dodgers players to get 30-30

Shohei Ohtani joined the select group along with Dominican Raúl Mondesí (1997-1999) and American Matt Kemp (2011), who also achieved a 30-30 with the California team.

His talent as a pitcher has yet to be seen since he is still recovering from the surgery he underwent a few months ago; everything seems to indicate that he will return to the pitching mound for the next season.

The Japanese two-way player is leading the National League in runs scored with 85, home runs with 33, has a .309 average, a .627 slugging, a 1.027 OPS, a 187 OPS+, and has accumulated 266 total bases.
