WATCH Angels Shohei Ohtani extends MLB h

On the second pitch he saw Tuesday night against Cleveland ( ), Los Angeles Angels DH/resting starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani homered for the 14th time this season to extend his major league lead in Tom Glavine Jersey that category. Here's a look: FOUR. FOUR. ZERO. FOR SHOTIME! MLB (@MLB) That's a 94 mph fastball from Zach Plesac turned into a 440 foot home run to center that left the bat at 111.9 mph. At this writing, Ohtani's 14 homers leads by two over a pack of second-placers that Ender Inciarte Jersey includes Freddie Freeman of the Braves, Cleveland's Jose Ramirez, Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Mitch Haniger of the Mariners, and Ronald Acua Jr. of the Braves. Ohtani's now slashing .268/.317/.634 on the season.As you're no doubt aware, Ohtani -- when not cracking homers as the Angels' DH and No. 2 hitter -- doubles as R.A. Dickey Jersey a standout starting pitcher. On that front, consider this relevant statistical content: Shohei Ohtani is second in MLB in slugging percentage, Nick Markakis Jersey among 177 players with 120+ PAShohei Ohtani is first in MLB in slugging percentage allowed, among 144 pitchers with 25+ IP Jeremy Frank (@MLBRandomStats) Heading into his scheduled Wednesday start against Cleveland, Ohtani the moundsman boasts a 2.10 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings. Getting that kind of two-way excellence from a single roster spot is why Ohtani is squarely in the AL MVP discu sion. The Angels may not shine in the standings, but Ohtani's unexampled-since-Babe-Ruth excellence on the mound Brandon McCarthy Jersey and at the plate isn't diminished by that.
