Shohei Ohtani continues to be the most thrilling, talented player there is in Major League Baseball today.

Dude just made the 40-40 club -- that's 40 home runs, 40 steals in a season, done by just SIX players in league history -- in the most thrilling fashion.

With his Los Angeles Dodgers tied 3-3 with the Tampa Bay Rays in the ninth inning on Friday night, Ohtani stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded. As you can guess from all of this, you know what happened next.

He hit a walk-off grand slam to win the game for his 40th home run of the season:

Just unreal. The question now becomes: given how early he did this, can he go 50-50? We'll see.
