Shohei Ohtani Blasts First Home Run Of 2024
9 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani belted a 430-foot home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Giants. The blast was a solo shot in the seventh inning off of LHP Taylor Rodgers. Ohtani ended 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, and is now hitting .270 (10-for-37) with three doubles, a home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 3:9 BB:K. It's somewhat of an underwhelming start for the superstar, although with Mookie Betts off to a scorching start and monopolizing many of the RBI opportunities, it seems like there's not much left over for Ohtani batting behind him. Not to worry, however, as the counting stats will come with the ebbs and flows of the long season. The Dodgers get a day off on Thursday before a three-game series with the Cubs in Chicago on Friday.
