Shohei Ohtani enthralled the 39,343 spectators in the third inning of Tuesday night's Major League Baseball's 94th All-Star Game at Globe Life Field with a strong, unquestionable home run. One of the highlights of the American League's final 5-3 triumph against the National League was the 400-foot bomb into the right-field stands.
The game's scoring was dramatically opened by the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger, who is now leading the National League in home runs. Pitcher Tanner Houck of the Boston Red Sox faced a 2-0 pitch in the third inning with two men on base and no outs. Ohtani crushed it. Ohtani's huge swing launched the pitch, an 89-mph splitter left over the center of the plate, 400 feet into the right-field stands, putting the NL ahead 3-0.
AL Rallies for the Win
Ohtani's early heroics weren't enough to stop the AL from mounting a comeback and winning 5-3. Ohtani hit his first home run in his fourth All-Star Game in his career, and it was the first time a Los Angeles Dodger had done it since Mike Piazza in 1996.
Stellar Season for Ohtani
Ohtani has been fantastic in his Dodgers first season. With 29 home runs, he leads the National League. He has decided not to play in Monday's Home Run Derby in order to prevent straining his recently operated pitching elbow. Ohtani is concentrating on his hitting this season after having Tommy John surgery in the off-season.
With a.316 batting average, a.400 on-base percentage, a.635 slugging percentage, 29 home runs, 69 RBI, 75 runs scored, and 23 stolen bases through 94 regular-season games, his numbers are outstanding. Despite being unable to throw, these stats make him a frontrunner to win the National League MVP title.
