"Shohei Ohtani is an absolute psycho" - MLB analyst believes Dodgers star won't stop after 50-50 season, sees him shooting for 60-60

Shohei Ohtani recently established the 50/50 club, becoming the first player in MLB history to surpass 50 home runs and 50 steals in a season. He didn't stop there and there's still time left in the season, which has many wondering if he can challenge for 60 in each category and establish another exclusive club.

MLB podcaster Jared Carrabis said:

"He won't stop trying to hit home runs. It's not like he reached 50 and then was like, 'Phew!' It was like, 50? S**t, I got time for 60, let's go!' There was no lull after that, he just kept going, in the same game!"

Former Oakland Athletics star Dallas Braden added:

"Shohei Ohtani is not the dude to go, 'Ahh, all right, we're here.' No, he's like, 'Sweet, we're here? Let's go farther. Like that's an absolute psycho."

Ohtani faces an uphill battle to reach 60 in either category, but it was also tough to reach 50 but he accomplished it anyway. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has six more games to make even more history.

Can Shohei Ohtani get to 60/60?

Shohei Ohtani currently has 53 home runs and 55 stolen bases. He needs seven more blasts and five steals in the remaining six games of the MLB season to establish the 60/60 club. It is possible but far from likely.

Can Shohei Ohtani get to 60/60? (Imagn)

Ohtani got into the 50/50 club by stealing two bases and blasting three home runs in one game, but a performance like that doesn't come around very often. His remaining six games are against the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies.

Seven home runs in a six-game span is tough but not impossible, especially for Ohtani. The challenge is finding a way to get both. If he's hitting a lot of home runs, he's not spending much time on first or second base, which makes it hard for him to steal in the same game.

Sixty homers is also a mark that so few players have ever surpassed, so counting on him to do that while also stealing an incomprehensible amount of bases is a tall ask. Ohtani is certainly capable of it, but he's not on pace for it. He is on pace for 55 home runs and 58 steals.
