have exceeded the human level The batting speed is 174km! Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers has achieved 40 home runs for three consecutive years. Jersey and Raleigh get shabby in front of Ohtani's milestone

As a pitcher, he puts in a 161km fastball, and as a batter, he creates a 174km batting speed. It is easy for the ball not to be split. Naturally, the place where such a bat will head is off the fence.
Shohei Ohtani (31) of the Los Angeles Dodgers finally hit the 40th home run mark, achieving 40 home runs for the third consecutive year. In addition, he also set a new record of achieving 40 home runs in at least one game (117 games) among all LA Dodgers players.
In addition, Ohtani is the only active hitter in the Major League Baseball who has hit 40 home runs for three consecutive years. Carl Raleigh (Seattle Mariners, 44) and Ohtani's rival Aaron Judge (New York Yankees, 37) who are currently No. 1 in MLB home runs. Moreover, Ohtani is running the 'Double Tutoring' mode again this season. The more I see it, the more it is 'abnormal' stat. In this section, we have no choice but to accept that Ohtani has lightly exceeded human limits.

At the ball count of 3B1S, Bash's 5th pitch 86.2 miles (about 138.7 kilometers per hour) sinker entered the strike zone outside. For Ohtani, the speed of the ball, the width of the change, and the course felt like a batting ball in a home run race.

According to the Major League Game Day page, the speed of the ball was 107.8 miles (about 174 kilometers per hour). It seemed like he swung lightly, but it was so accurate that it was caught in the center of the bat. I literally hit the ball in half. The launch angle is also a very ideal 27 degrees. The flight was short-lived, but the distance reached up to 417 feet (about 127 m).
It was Ohtani's 40th home run this season. With this home run, Ohtani will reach the 40th home run mark for the third consecutive year starting in 2023. In 2023, when he was a member of the Los Angeles Angels, he threw 44 pitches out of the fence. Last year, the first season of his transfer to the Los Angeles Dodgers, he topped the National League with 54 home runs. At that time, Judge hit 58 home runs and beat Ohtani to become the home run king in the Major League.

Raleigh, who is ranked No. 1 in MLB home runs with sensational performances this year, has yet to reach Ohtani or Judge's level in terms of career home runs. He has only achieved 30 home runs for three consecutive years so far this year. This year is the first time that he has hit more than 40 home runs. Only when he plays like this year for the next two more years can he join the 40-home run club for three consecutive years.
In addition, Ohtani became a figure who reached the 40-homer mark in the Dodgers' hitter history for the least time in a game. It is the first time in 117 teams and 115 individual Ohtani games. Ohtani is currently second in home runs in the National League. First place is Kyle Schwarber (41) of the Philadelphia Phillies. It's only one difference, so Ohtani can turn it over at any time.
He is four points behind Raleigh, the No. 1 player in the Major League. This is also a car that can be expected to turn around. Attention is focusing on how far Ohtani's 'dehumanizing level' will continue.
