If you hit Ohtani, it's a 450-foot large gun, season 23rd gun, and "Friendly" devastation
Ohtani played as the designated hitter for the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium on Sunday (Korea time), and marked one hit, two RBIs, one run and one walk from four times at bat, including a two-run homer. The Dodgers won the game 7-2, recording 48 wins and 31 losses.
Ohtani, who transferred to the Dodgers after signing a 10-year, 700 million-dollar free agent contract last winter, met his acquaintance for the first time on the previous day and had two hits, including a two-run shot, to throw a dagger. He had no mercy on the day.
Ohtani hit a home run at his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning. The Dodgers scored the first run with a solo home run by Gavin Lux, and Cavan Biggio had a chance to hit a bunt to secure the first base. Ohtani then hit a two-run shot to the right-center field.
With two balls, he pulled the opponent right-handed starter Jack Plesac's 84.9-mile slider at the third pitch, and drew a large arch that fell over the middle right-handed fence and into the middle of the stands. It was his 23rd home run of this season with a shooting angle of 24 degrees, a batting speed of 115.5 miles and a flying distance of 459 feet.
The previous day's home run in the fifth inning was also a two-run shot that flew 455 feet. He hit a cannon that flew more than 450 feet in two consecutive games. Of the six home runs Ohtani has hit this year, four came in June. At Coors Field on the 19th, he hit a 476-foot solo home run in the sixth inning, the furthest among all hitters this season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, "Otani is leading in batting and home runs in the league, and his RBI is also on the way to No. 1. That's special. I haven't seen a better player in the last few weeks."
"The batting speed is really good. I like the angle where you hit the bat like today," Ohtani said. Since Statcast started gauging the distance in 2015, no Dodgers batter has thrown more than five balls over 450 feet in a single season. Ohtani already has six. Ohtani is also the third player to hit four home runs over 450 feet in June alone, following Trevor Story and Giancarlo Stanton (five).
Tyler Glasnow of the Dodgers, who won his eighth game of the season by allowing two hits, 10 strikeouts and two runs (one earned run) in seven innings on the day, said, "When I see Otani's batting speed, anyone would say, 'Wow!' He makes us all happy."
While playing leadoff for six consecutive games after Mookie Betts' injury layoff, Ohtani recorded 11 hits (0.458), four homers, 11 RBIs and eight runs from 24 times at bat. "Obviously, Mookie is our leadoff, but I think Ohtani is playing comfortably there, too. But I also think left, right and left. It's worth talking to him," Roberts said.
Ohtani has blasted nine home runs in June including three consecutive games. Marcell Ozuna, the second-ranked Atlanta Braves, also garnered his 21st home run of the season at the game against the New York Yankees, to keep two runs clear of Ohtani.
Ohtani had a batting average of 0.321 (97 hits in 302 times at bat), 23 homers, 57 RBIs and 61 runs scored. He maintained his No. 1 position in the seven categories of batting average, home run, scoring, slugging percentage (0.632), OPS (1.030), slugging percentage (46), and Ruta (191). He ranks first in both leagues in terms of batting average.
In terms of batting average, Cleveland Guardians Steven Kwan is the "potential" No. 1 player in both leagues with 0.390 (76 hits in 195 at-bats), but he is still 12 players short of the regulation. The rule stipulated in the baseball rule of 9.22 that "if the batting average calculated including insufficient at-bats is the first place, the league's batting title will be given to the final day of the season."
Ohtani is still No. 1 in both bWAR (4.4) and fWAR (4.2). If he maintains his current pace, he can finish with 47 homers, 117 RBIs and 125 runs scored. He is career-high in all three categories.
