Shohei Ohtani all but locked up the National League MVP by completing a historic feat on Thursday.

Ohtani became the first MLB player to join the 50-50 club, swiping two bases and then crushing two homers for the Dodgers against the Marlins.

The Japanese slugger stole his 50th base in the first inning and added No. 51 one frame later.

Sitting on 48 homers, he hit his 49th in the sixth inning before joining the elusive club in the seventh, walloping a 1-2 offering from Miami reliever Mike Baumann, sending it the 391 feet the opposite way for a two-run shot.

It was his fifth hit of the game.

He also became the first player in Dodgers franchise history to hit 50 homers in a single season.
