Through Aug. 21, Ohtani had 39 HRs & 39 SBs. In his next 25 games he hit 12 HRs and stole 12 bases (those levels are very rare for a 25 game span as I explain later).
It started in spectacular fashion with the game on Aug. 23. He stole his 40th base in the 2nd inning of a game against the Rays in LA. His 40th HR was a walk-off grand slam in that game.
It ended, incredibly, in even more spectacular fashion on Sept. 19 in Miami. He came into the game with 48 HRs & 49 SBs. He hit 3 HRs and stole 2 bases. He was then at 51 HRs & 51 SBs. He also had 10 RBIs, the most ever for a leadoff man. Throwing in two doubles and a single, he ended up with 17 TBs.
