Shohei Ohtani update
Shohei Ohtani crushes one of MLB's hardest-hit HRs on 4-hit night, picks up win on the mound
Shohei Ohtani helped himself Monday in emphatic fashion.
The Los Angeles Angels' All-Star hit one of MLB's hardest-hit home runs of the season against the Baltimore Orioles in between trips to the mound as the Angels' starting pitcher. He did so in a four-hit night at the plate while securing the win in a 9-5 Angels victory.
With two men on, one out and the score tied 4-4 in the top of the fourth inning, Orioles starter Grayson Rodriguez threw an 80 mph breaking ball on the first pitch. It found the middle of the plate. Ohtani made the most of the offering.
He launched the ball to right-center field. As soon as he connected, there was no doubt that the ball was leaving the field of play. The only question was whether Camden Yards could contain it.
The ball traveled over the fans in the right-center field bleachers and bounced off the top of the fence on the exterior of the park. Ohtani cleared the bases and crossed home plate, where his teammates adorned him with the Samurai warrior helmet that's become the signature of his home-run celebrations.
The home run was Ohtani's ninth of the season and raised his RBI tally to 29. It gave the Angels a 7-4 lead and was one of the hardest hit balls in MLB this season. Per Statcast, the 114.6 mph exit velocity rates as the 15th-hardest home run of the season. The ball traveled 456 feet, making it the 14th-longest home run of the season.
The blast, of course, was the longest home run of the season hit by a pitcher. But it came in second in exit velocity to a 116.7 mph home run hit by Ohtani earlier this season.

If his career ends today, I think he's a HOFer. Absolutely incredible what he's been able to do since 2018.

Future former #Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani is 3-3 tonight with his 35th HR. Can't wait to see him elsewhere.

He's going to cost close to half of the Twins entire payroll per season.

the story is murky--but if it was to be a major scandal where do you think the spotlight would be shining?

i think that he'll announce he's going to try to be a professional basketball player--go play in a G league and then when everything dies down in a couple of years he'll make his baseball comeback.Hornets wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 3:00 pmWhat does your gut say on this Weimy?

Not gonna lie. I'm rooting it for it to be revealed that he's a massive scumbag.

I think if this were not an all-star caliber player the hammer would drop hard. I don't know what's going to come of this, but I think he'll be able to skirt by this relatively easily.

If he is involved on the gambling side, we'll see what kind of balls MLB really has. Pete Rose is anxiously awaiting.
