LA Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani hit his 30th home run of the season. Ohtani started as the first-designated hitter in a home game against the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on the 22nd (Korea time) and hit a home run in his third at-bat in the fifth inning.
The Dodgers led 5-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning. Taking the batter's box in the absence of a no-out runner, Ohtani faced Boston's right-hander Cutter Crawford, caught the cutter in the middle of the fourth pitch 85.9 miles (about 139 kilometers) with perfect timing and a perfect full swing to hit the right-center fence.
30th home run of the season. The ball with a launch angle of 28 degrees and a batting speed of 116.7 miles (about 187.8 kilometers) is a Japanese company at the top of the Dodger Stadium's right-center outfieldBeyond the sign of 'Iso', it almost extended out of the way. It was a huge home run with a driving distance of 473 feet and a whopping 144 meters. Ohtani's unique cheerful swing and monstrous home run made by a tremendous bat speed broke out once again.

Kershaw, a teammate, was also speechless when he saw Ohtani's home run. Kershaw happened to be conducting a live interview with a local broadcasting station during the game. Ohtani's home run broke out while watching the game while wearing a headset.
Kershaw also looked speechless for a moment. When the caster asked 'Did you just see that home run?' Kershaw smiled as if he were puzzled "I didn't even see it properly. It's really amazing. `I couldn't stop talking. Then "I'm lost for words. I've never seen anything like that. He even exclaimed, "I can't believe I hit such a ball to the top of the right-center field."
