Shohei Ohtani (LA) Dodgers hit his 26th home run of the season.

Ohtani played as the first designated hitter in an away game against the San Francisco Giants in the U.S. Major League Baseball at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on the 30th (Korea time) and hit a solo shot in the third inning.

Ohtani drew the middle wall arch by hitting a slider at 138 km per hour by right-handed pitcher Spencer Howard after one out in the top of the third inning, when the game was tied 1-1. The flying distance measured 125.5 meters.

He hit nine home runs in the last 12 games.

In the National League home run category, he widened the gap with second-place Marcell Ozuna (21 Atlanta Braves) to five.

As a whole, MLB home runs were followed by Aaron Judge (30 New York Yankees), the No. 1 player.

However, Ohtani's home run pace is slower than last year.

Ohtani hit 29 home runs in 81 games since his opening with the Los Angeles Angels last year. This year, he hit 26 in 81 games.토토사이트넷

The number of homers hit in June stood at 15 last year, but this year the number has remained at 12 through Saturday local time. Even if the number of homers hit again on June 30, the number is smaller than that of last year.

In addition, he played as a pitcher last year. This year, he only plays as a designated hitter. Therefore, it is not certain that Ohtani is performing as well as he did last year.

However, it is unusual that he has been hitting home runs recently.
