Going back to 1950, there have been eight individual seasons of at least 60 home runs. There has been only one in which a player has scored 150 runs.

In recent baseball history, it's a statistical feat that is about as rare as it gets. But the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is making a serious, well, run at it in 2025. He entered the season's final week with 141 runs, which has been a difficult threshold for anyone to reach as well.

In terms of recent history, very rare indeed. Before Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr. scored 149 runs during his 2023 NL MVP Award-winning season. But that was MLB's first 140-run season since the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez scored 143 times in 2007.
