Shohei Ohtani a Japanese-born American MLB pitcher and hitter, hit his 41st home run of the season, further widening the gap with the second-placed group in the home run race.
Ohtani appeared in the first inning in the game against the Baltimore Orioles on the 26th and hit a 114-meter home run that crossed the right fence. As a starting pitcher the day before, he was blaming the Orioles for hitting two home runs.
Ohtani's performance this season has been amazing.His 41 home runs are already poised to overtake the total of 47 home runs he has accumulated over the past three seasons.In the home run title race, Ohtani was able to lead Ryu Hyun-jin's teammate, second-placed Vladimir Guerrero Jr., by five points. His OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) is 1.002.He also made 19 appearances as a pitcher, holding an ERA of 3.00, and is already on his eighth win.
In terms of records, it is no exaggeration to say that Ohtani is rewriting MLB history. He was already the first Asian player to hit the 40-home run mark in MLB, and in the All-Star Game last month, he became the first player in MLB history to be selected as a pitcher and a batter at the same time. If you become the home run king by playing both the role of a pitcher and a hitter in one season, it will also be history.
