⚡Shohei Ohtani’s August Stats⚡: First Dodger win, 1.020 OPS, 7 HRs !! | 大谷翔平ハイライト
Scaled down the line. Good. The Dodger pitcher launches a massive home run. Hit a home run and strike out a show is inevitable. Kissing goodbye. And the home run party continues. I mean, that is insane. So, Tani’s faced the Cardinals once in his career two years ago. Struck out 13, a careerhigh. Strike three. 9891 Hundo. And I get way too close for comfort. Look at Otani’s stuff. He’s down on strikes. One gone in the second. Show is leaning on the fast ball so far and he’s trying to build his pitch count up which was 51 in the last start. Strikes him out. A nose diving breaking pitch right there. Fast balls by Pahz. Man, it’s been live and he’s known it too. He has just leaned on it. He is not needing to set it up. Old-fashioned hard ball. Strikes him out. Gets out of that sun. Otani on the days that he pitches now six for 30. Smacks one in the air deep center field. Scott going back. Forget about it. It’s gone. Halfway up the pavilion. The Dodger pitcher launches a massive home run. His 39th this year. I was there when he pitched. He hit a home run and they gave away his championship rings the same day. He is the Beatles in one body. Another one, two, another strike out. Joe struck him out first time he faced him. He does the same here. Hit a home run and strike out eight in four innings. On a 3-1, Otani hammers the ball straight away center field. It is gone. 40th of the year for Shi Otani. Dodgers up three to nothing. High and deep to right field. Back at the wall. Compro watches it fly. Shi Otani’s 100th career home run in the big A. His 42nd of the season. He has gone deep in three straight games. And that spoils the shut out bit for the Angels. Thigh high off speed on the inner half of the plate. Showy didn’t really get it, but he gets enough of it. I mentioned 42nd of the year. Otani in his career against Kinley is 0 for7 with four strikeouts. The one pitch scalded down the line. Good. Show is inevitable. 65 Dodgers. A go ahead bomb from the reigning MVP. I mean that is insane. Another two two- two pitch. That is a rifle into right field toward the corner. Otani is going to have extra bases. Just depends on how many. He wants three. Here’s the throw. Hits Lee. Lead off triple. Show Otani. How about that? He doesn’t even get out of the box. He hits the ball full rotation. He makes the decision by himself when he’s rounding first base because he just puts his head down, doesn’t look at third base, just looks straight ahead and he knows in his mind he’s getting there. On the mound, making his ninth start of the season. Shi Otani, his first start as a visitor in this ballpark. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Started the game with a leadoff triple. Goes to the mound and begins his outing with a punch out. And now the matchup everyone’s been waiting for since this with the 2023 World Baseball Classic on the line. Then teammates Oltani and Trout clashed just like the WBC. A 32 sweeper. This time he watches strike three. Shi Otani with bookending strikeouts in a one, two, three first. He strikes out Teodosio on three pitches. Now has three Ks. Another two. Got him swinging. 101 freezes Trout. That’s three at bats. Going back to the World Baseball Classic, three strikeouts. He’s done it differently. That’s the thing is Show’s just been one step ahead of him. Connor swings through, gets to the back stop, and he’s going to reach and Reno had no chance. And that’s number seven for Otani. Otani rifles the ball to right field. Does it have the carry? It does. If it that didn’t go over the wall, it would have went through it. Home run number 44 for Otani. The second blast for the Dodgers in this inning. And it’s already 4 nothing. Otani gets into one. Headed out there to right center field. Kissing goodbye. 45th of the season for Otani. First one against San Diego. And the home run party continues. the fourth in the last four innings. There’s a fan sitting right by the Dodger dugout that’s been giving Otani heck all day after he homers. He says, “How you like that?” We’ve been hearing him on the field, Mike, the whole time, too. Sure made his day. Base hit to right for Otani. Here comes Rohos. Here comes Espanol’s throw. Offline six to one. We talking about Rohas hitting hard. Every time Otani gets it, he hits it hard. That was on the ground, but he hit it hard. Otani gave up five runs on a career-high nine hits last week in Colorado. That’s nine runs his last two games after he gave up just five over his first eight. Let’s go a one two and another breaking pitch. Marte offered strike three. Another 3-2. Otani finishes him off backfooting that slider. The way it started out, it looks like a fast ball coming right out of his hand. It has a late break. and where it started. It started in the zone and then falls out. Nasty breaking pitch for a strikeout and already the third for Otani. He threw 18 pitches total in that first inning and he also he threw all seven pitches that he features in that first inning. So maybe he’s probably going like listen I don’t want to be predictable going for a strike out here with a runner third and he gets it by reaching 100 with a perfectly placed elevated fast. 27th pitch of this inning. Otani rocks and fires and gets out of it. Back to the curveball which he’s riding like never before. 2-2 to Dea Cruz. Fast ball gets him looking. And speaking of athletes, that was tremendous pitch on the inter half. Strikes him out. Nasty sweeper right there. Sharp break to it. And Otani’s got seven Ks through three. Here’s his two Deluxe. A curve. Gets a swing and a miss. and he’s got a season high eight strikeouts on a careerhigh 17 curve balls. Good location, just good break. Ever comes to a breaking ball and you’re wondering, is it a late break? How good is it? The opposing team, the opposing hitters will let you know. One, two to Mlan. A swing and a miss in a season high nine strikeouts for Otani. Let me guess. Breaking ball, curve ball. Yep, why not? It’s working great for him. Crowd behind him as he fires. Two-2 ground ball to first. Hernandez takes it himself. Nine Ks over five innings for Show Otani.
Shohei Ohtani crushes seven home runs, puts up an OPS of 1.020, records his first win with the Los Angeles Dodgers and more in the month of August!

W ohtani
Want him to have a great September and dominant last 4 starts on the Mound. Shut down the MVP debate early.
Dude is unreal
MLB helps him and ofc he got caught and got the scapegoats to cover for him
Unanimous MVP, he's on pace for 50 home runs with a thousand OPS and pitching wining games in September, there's no player more valuable in sports than that.
MVP 🐐
