Then what about the jersey that fired the cannon No. 30? … Ohtani aims at Choo Shin-soo and targets the jersey with confidence. Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) away game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois, on the 27th (Korea time) and recorded one hit in two at-bats (one home run), one RBI, two walks and two runs.
In his first at-bat as a leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, Ohtani beat Eric Pedi, a former MVP of the KBO, and hit a solo shot, and became the team’s first RBI in 10 consecutive games. It was his 25th in this season and 196th in his career. If he hits 23 more, he will become the record holder of the most homeruns by an Asian player, surpassing Choo Shin-soo. 안전 슬롯사이트
According to U.S. media, manager Dave Roberts praised Ohtani’s performance after the game, saying, “It’s amazing.” He said, “It feels like energy has been pumped all at once. He’s been swinging the bat really well. He’s hitting the ball hard in the strike zone. He’s the most dangerous hitter on Earth.”
Meanwhile, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees was the first to reach the 30-homer mark this season. Judge hit a two-run shot over the left fence in the sixth inning of an away game against the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York. It was his 30th homer of this season and 10th homerun per month. At the current pace, it is expected to break the record of 62 home runs set by individuals in a single American League season in 2022.
