MIAMI -- The last time Shohei Ohtani played at loanDepot park, he was striking out Mike Trout and leading Team Japan to a World Baseball Classic title.

This time around, Ohtani got closer to history, smashing his 48th homer of the season, a two-run blast off Marlins starter Darren McCaughan in the third inning of the Dodgers' 11-9 loss in Tuesday night’s series opener.

Ohtani is now the first player to hit 48 homers and steal 48 bases in the same season, putting him two shy of each to become the first player in Major League history to reach the 50-50 mark.

The homer landed in the second deck in right field at loanDepot park and traveled a projected 402 feet with a 105.3 mph exit velocity, according to Statcast. Ohtani is now tied with Adrian Beltré for the second-most homers in a single season in Dodgers history behind only Shawn Green, who hit 49 homers in 2001.

“I think he’s probably the best player I’ve ever seen play,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said before Tuesday’s game. “He can do it all. And he’s rehabbing, too. That’s what’s so crazy.

“… Hopefully, he doesn’t break any records here, but it’s just fun to watch him go about his business.”

Ohtani was quiet during the four-game series against Atlanta, not hitting a homer or stealing a base. It was the first four-game span in which he didn’t hit a homer or record a stolen base since June 6-9.

But Ohtani wasn’t going to be held quiet forever and is getting closer to making baseball history with 11 games left to play in the regular season.
