Shohei Ohtani becomes the fastest baseball player to join the 40-40 club

Shohei Ohtani never ceases to amaze. The Japanese superstar hit a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning for his 40th home run after previously stealing his 40th base. He has also become the fastest baseball player to join the 40-40 club.

"Ohtani made even more history by reaching the 40-40 mark faster than anyone in history, with the feat coming in his 126th game of the season, besting the previous mark by 21 games," explained the official Major League Baseball (MLB) site.

The feat was celebrated by Ohtani, who maintained that he hopes to continue growing in his career. "One of my top memorable moments (...)I hope that I can do more and make more memorable moments," highlighted the Japanese.

According to MLB data, a chart with the number of games by members of the 40-40 club is as follows:

The baseball star's next challenge would be to open the 50-50 club. Meanwhile, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes Ohtani is aiming to become the greatest player of all time. "And when you start doing things like that, then you're certainly staking your claim," Roberts maintained.
