Ohtani drew a large arch in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Cleveland Guardians in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 9th (Korea Standard Time).
Taking the batter’s box after one out in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 1-0 lead, Ohtani pulled an 83.6 mile (134.5 kilometer) change-up on the second pitch off Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bybee and hit the right fence wide. It was a mega home run with a shooting angle of 34 degrees, a batting speed of 116.7 miles (188 kilometers) and a flying distance of 450 feet (137.2 meters).
It was such a big hit that I applied for the challenge from the Cleveland bench, but the result did not change.
As a result, Ohtani, who achieved 46 home runs and 46 steals, will have only four home runs and stolen bases left until his unprecedented 50 home runs and 50 steals.
Ohtani, who started as the first designated hitter on the day, had two hits (one home run) from four times at bat (one homer) with one RBI and one run scored. He has a batting average of 0.289 for this season.
Ohtani, who was out after hitting a fly to left field in the first inning, got on base with a hit to left-center field after the third inning with two outs. However, he was checked out by Mookie Betts at bat. Ohtani seemed to be aiming for a stolen base, but was caught by Bybee’s quick check.
Ohtani’s bat exploded after one out in the bottom of the fifth inning when he was leading 1-0.
After one ball, he strongly hit change-up on Bybee’s second pitch, and hit a large home run. The scene showed Ohtani’s power to sense that he was a big hit at the moment of the hit.
Ohtani struck out after one out in the bottom of the seventh inning.
The Dodgers won 4-0, thanks to Ohtani’s performance. The team secured the top spot in the National League West with 86 wins and 57 losses. The Cleveland Indians have 81 wins and 62 losses.
Dodgers led starter Jack Flaherty to victory with four hits, six strikeouts and no runs in seven ⅓ innings.
