Los Angeles Dodgers Star Shohei Ohtani Swings Way Into Record Books

Let’s break down the sheer absurdity of this moment. The pitch from Arizona’s Nabil Crismatt was a changeup that looked like it was rolling off a table, well below the strike zone. A mere mortal would have swung over it or dribbled a weak grounder to second. But this is Shohei Ohtani we’re talking about. He reached down, flicked his wrist with the grace of a samurai, and sent the ball on a 406-foot journey to a watery grave. The sound off the bat was a thunderclap, a signal to every fish in that pool that an eviction notice was on its way.

A Season For the Ages, Again

With that swing, Ohtani not only boosted the lead to 6-0 but also collected his 100th and 101st RBI. It is his third time hitting the 100-RBI mark, but who’s counting when you’re also a legitimate ace on the mound? Fresh off elbow surgery, he’s casually posted a 2.87 ERA. It just doesn’t make sense.

Freddie Freeman, not to be outdone, also decided to join the home run party, blasting two of his own. But let’s be real, everyone was there to see the Ohtani show. He is now just a couple of homers behind Kyle Schwarber for the league lead. At this rate, he might just pass him by bunting.

The Dodgers locked up their fourth straight division crown, but the real story is Ohtani continuing to redefine what’s possible in baseball. Each at-bat is an event, a chance to witness something that defies logic. We are just lucky to be along for the ride.
