Ohtani played as a leadoff designated hitter in an away game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field on the 27th (Korea time) and hit a home run in his first at-bat and added an RBI.
Ohtani, who took the batter’s box in the top of the first inning, pulled the 90.9-mile cutter slightly from the outside to the center after a full-count battle with opposing right-hander Eric Peddy.
It was a big home run with a launch angle of 26 degrees, a batting speed of 113.9 miles and a flying distance of 437 feet. 안전한 카지노사이트
Ohtani, who hit a leadoff homerun in the first inning against the White Sox on the previous day, increased his season home run to 25 by drawing an arch for two consecutive days. The leadoff homerun in the first inning was Ohtani’s third in the season and ninth in his personal tally.
Ohtani continued his RBI parade for 10 consecutive games since the game against the Kansas City Royals on the 17th. This is the longest ever by a Dodgers player. He previously had five RBIs in nine consecutive games. They were Bob Fisher in 1913, Eddie Brown in 1924, Ogi Gallan in 1944, Roy Campanella in 1955, and Matt Kemp in 2011-2012.
In Kemp’s case, it doesn’t mean much because it was a two-season game. In other words, Ohtani set a new record 69 years after Roy Campanella in 1955 on a single-season basis. Campanella set RBIs in nine consecutive games from Game 1.2 of a doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 31 of that year to Game 1 and Game 2 of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 6.
Throughout the entire Major League, the RBI single in consecutive games was set at 17 games by Chicago Cubs first baseman Ray Grimes in 1922. The player who set the latest RBI single in more than 10 consecutive games was Philadelphia Phillies Bobby Abreu in 2005. In May that year, Ohtani had a winning streak of 10 consecutive games. It was his first time in 19 years that he was on par with Abreu. While posting RBIs in 10 consecutive games, Ohtani hit eight home runs.
