LA Dodgers Shohei Ohtani is about to hit 60 home runs. He raced toward the first integrated home run king of both leagues.

On the 28th (Korea time), Ohtani led the Cleveland Guardians to a 9-5 victory with one hit, two RBIs, two runs and two walks in three at-bats, including a home run at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

The home run came in the third at-bat in the top of the fourth inning with a 2-0 lead.




After two outs, when Tommy Edman got on base with a right-handed hit, Ohtani hit Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bybee's 83.9-mile cutter that flew outside the first pitch to hit it directly over the left fence.

The ball, which soared high at a firing angle of 39 degrees and a batting speed of 104.5 miles, drew a parabolic line to the left and fell at a distance of 362 feet (110 meters). While the ball was flying, Ohtani looked at the home run for a long time with the bat, and only then began to circle the base when he crossed the fence. Maybe he didn't know it was going to be a home run, as the ball went over "Oh my God!let out "

Statcast estimated that the home run would not have crossed the fence in nine of the 30 stadiums, including Dodger Stadium.

Local broadcasters said "Otani knew it would be a home run, but the Guardians are too surprised. They have never seen a left-handed hitter hit such a home run this season. After admiring that the ball pulled by the right-handed hitter crossed the fence, he said, "'Baby looks mesmerized on the mound.'"

After the game, Vivey said "A lot of people would have thought the ball was just going to be a fly. That's how I saw it, so I thought the inning would end. I rarely saw a left-handed hitter turn over to the left in this ballpark"Weeping.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said `Otani should not be allowed to make mistakes"It didn't seem like I hit it hard, but it flew like a helium ball." Ohtani is dealing with the strike zone strictly" he evaluated. It means that the pioneering eye is good.




Max Muncy, who hit a wedge three-run shot in the top of the ninth inning, is envious. Ohtani has an ability that ordinary people can't do," he exclaimed.

As a result, Ohtani reached the 20th home run mark of the season by operating cannons in three consecutive games following the game against the New York Mets on the 26th and the game against Cleveland on the 27th. Ohtani's home run in three consecutive games is his second this season after the 15th and 17th, and his 10th personal total.

Ohtani drew 13 arches in May. His monthly home run record is 15 in June 2023 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. The Dodgers have three games left in May, including the game against Cleveland on the 29th and the game against the New York Yankees on the 31st and June 1st. The record for most home runs per month in Dodgers history was 15, written by Pedro Guerrero in June 1985 and by Duke Snyder in August 1953. Ohtani then tied for third place with Bellinger in June 2017 and Adrian Beltre in August 2004.

Above all, as the season passes, the acceleration in home run productivity seems clear. If he maintains his current pace, Ohtani can hit 59 home runs. He also has 60 homers. It is a figure that can be the unified home run king of both leagues. Ohtani was the AL home run king with 44 home runs in 2023 and the NL home run king with 54 home runs last year. If he wins his first home run title in both leagues this year, he will win the real game against Judge, the best home run hitter in his career.

Ohtani hit 54 home runs last season and 20 home runs were achieved in his team's 75th game. This season, it reached 55 games and moved up 20 games. Career high in the home run category is expected. For reference, Ohtani is the third player in Dodgers history to hit more than 20 home runs in the team's first 55 games of the season, following Gil Hodges (21) in 1951 and Cody Bellinger (20) in 2019.

On the same day, Seattle Mariners catcher Carl Raleigh hit two solo shots against the Washington Nationals, recording 19 home runs of the season, ranking second after Ohtani. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies failed to add a home run, falling to a tie for third place with 18.
