It’s no wonder he’s been labeled “the big one”

It’s no wonder he’s been labeled “the big one. In just one year since becoming a Dodger, Shohei Ohtani, 30, of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has set a record that no one else can match, and it’s still going strong.

Ohtani started the 2024 Major League Baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA, on March 23, and went 1-for-4 with one home run, two RBIs, one run scored, and one walk.

It was Ohtani’s third straight game with a home run and his second straight game with a home run against his hometown Angels.

The home run came in his second at-bat of the third inning, when Cavan Biggio bunted to load the bases with nobody out. 토토사이트 On a two-pitch count, Ohtani took a three-pitch, 84.9-mph (136.3-kilometer) slider from Pliszak. He didn’t let the changeup, which came in down the middle of the plate in the hitter’s count, sit still. It was a two-run shot over the wall in right-center field, his 23rd home run of the season, tying him for the National League lead. It was a big home run, traveling 459 feet (140 meters) at 115.5 mph (186 km/h).

It was Ohtani’s third-longest home run of the year.

It was the second straight day he hit a home run of 450 feet or more, following a 455-foot (138.7-meter) blast off Matt Moore in the previous game (22nd).

Dodger Stadium is not a ballpark that favors either pitchers or hitters. The park factor for the last three years leading up to this year is 99. 100 is the average, meaning Dodger Stadium is fair to both pitchers and hitters. But Ohtani has trampled on that data with a vengeance.This year, Ohtani has hit six home runs over 450 feet (137 meters), including this one. And he’s hit four of them at Dodger Stadium. He’s hit 450 feet or more in two games against the Angels, May 5 against the Atlanta Braves (464 feet) and June 17 against the Kansas City Royals (451 feet).

According to MLB.com, “Ohtani has hit a 450-plus-foot home run at Dodger Stadium for two straight games. No one in the Statcast era (since 2015) has hit multiple 450+ foot home runs at Dodger Stadium,” explaining Ohtani’s power.

“He has six 450-foot-plus home runs this season, 사설 토토사이트 two more than any other Dodger player has hit in a single season since the statcast era began in 2015.

After watching Ohtani’s home run, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts exclaimed, “Wow,” as he watched the replay. Even as he continued to watch, he was still in disbelief.
