Major League Baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run in the first inning for two consecutive days. He also hit home runs off KBO league pitchers. Ohtani played as the No. 1 designated hitter in the 2024 MLB Chicago White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois, on the 27th and activated his cannon from his first at-bat.
Faced with Chicago starter Eric Peddy, Ohtani hit the cutter at the sixth pitch after a full count match. The ball went over the fence in right-center. It flew 133 meters at the speed of 183 kilometers per hour. His 100th hit for this season was his 25th homer. 토토사이트 추천
Ohtani, who hit a leadoff homer in the first inning against Chris Flexen in the game against the White Sox on the previous day, had a leadoff homer in the first inning for the second consecutive day. He has displayed impressive batting performance, as he has hit eight homeruns in the last 10 games. The home run also marked the 10th consecutive game with RBIs. This is the longest RBI in consecutive games for Dodgers, which has surpassed the previous nine games.
The opposing pitchers who hit consecutive home runs are also attracting attention. Peddy is a pitcher who dominated the KBO League last year by wearing the NC Dinos’ uniform. He won the MVP award of the regular season by achieving the triple crown of pitchers who dominated the most wins (20), earned run average (2.00), and strikeouts (209). He re-entered the MLB based on his stellar performance in the KBO League and is currently playing as an ace for the Chicago White Sox. Pitcher Flexen, who hit a home run the previous day, played for Doosan in 2020 and posted an 8-4 record with a 3.01 ERA.
