Isn't that too much for you personally? LAD Ohtani passed it again! 2G consecutive home runs and stolen bases. tied for first place in the NL again with season 41st. The strongest leadoff certification ever

Aug 11, 2025

'You're doing better because you said, 'You're doing well'. LA Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani blew a ball out of the fence again. He even stole the base.

Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the home game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the morning of the 11th (Korea time) and hit a home run from his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning.

Los Angeles Dodgers offense in the bottom of the first inning, trailing 0-1. Ohtani entered the batter's box for the first time. Toronto's starting pitcher was left-hander Eric Lauer. Strike-ball-Paulo ball count is at a disadvantage of 1B2S. Lauer let his guard down. The fourth-pitch cutter was driven towards the middle and fell slightly less.

Ohtani hit the ball lightly as if he were hitting a batting ball. Even though he seemed to be relaxing, his batting speed was 106.3 miles (about 171 kilometers per hour). The moment the ball hits the center of the bat, it is the result of focusing enormous power. It was the strongest impact ability among existing MLB hitters.

The batting angle is 25 degrees. The ideal trajectory for making a home run is drawn. The ball, which flew to the right outfield in an instant, hit over the fence. It was a tiebreaking solo shot of 400 feet (about 122 meters). Ohtani hit his 41st home run of the season in two consecutive games, tying Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies for the lead in home runs in the National League.

He also set a new record for the most home runs ever for the first batter. It was his 37th home run in the first batting order this year. The previous record holder was Shohei Ohtani, a Japanese batter who is also pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This means that Ohtani's enemy is only Ohtani himself.

After Ohtani, Alfonso Soriano, who played for the Washington Nationals 19 years ago, is the only hitter who hit the most home runs in the first batting order. Soriano has long had the most home runs title in MLB history with 32 home runs, which was erased from MLB history after Ohtani's appearance.

When Ohtani hit a leadoff home run in the first inning, Toronto pitchers have played an extremely damaging game since then. In the second at-bat in the bottom of the second inning with one out and a runner on the second base, he chose to let go with four pitches on purpose. Lauer accepted early on that the head-to-head match against Ohtani was silly.

The pitcher was replaced before the end of the fourth inning. Lauer was replaced by Ohtani's turn as the leadoff hitter, and Louis Balland appeared. Valand was brave. He did not avoid a head-to-head match with Ohtani. He drew a swing and miss with two knuckle curves and threw a 100.3-mile four-seam fastball into the middle to strike out standing. For a moment, Ohtani's human side seemed to be visible.

Ohtani's composure was not disturbed by the standing strikeout. With one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, he hit a line-drive heavy hit and achieved multi-hit on the day. However, he created another dehumanizing scene here. Two outs later, he made fun of the Toronto infield by stealing second base at Will Smith's at-bat. Perhaps due to the aftermath, Smith eventually walked to load the bases.

Ohtani even tried to steal third base at Freddie Freeman's at-bat while throwing out. I got caught this time. If even this was successful, the Toronto mound would have collapsed without hesitation.

Ohtani came to the plate again in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 3-4, with one out and runners on second base. Toronto battery had only one choice. Yariel Rodriguez, who took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, sent Ohtani off with four pitches on purpose without hesitation. He believes that even if he is sent out as a come-from-behind runner, it is better than. This cold-headed judgment eventually led to Toronto's victory.

The Los Angeles Dodgers failed to take advantage of Ohtani's intentional four-pitch on-base chance with one out and runners on first and second bases. Rodriguez struck out Mookie Betts and finished his job, handing over the baton to Jeff Hoffman. Hoffman took the mound and allowed Smith and Freeman to tie the game. However, he caught pinch hitter Michael Confoto with a catcher's fly ball and prevented a reversal.

Toronto, which overcame the crisis, came from behind again to 5-4 in the top of the ninth inning with a solo home run by lead Tana Ernie Clement, and won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning by preventing the Dodgers' attack without losing a point. Ohtani struck out Mason Fluherty swinging in a golden turnaround chance with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was a human scene. Betts, the next batter, also failed to turn around again, stepping down with an infield grounder in vain.
