‘Otani rips the limits’ and ‘hit king – leadoff is possible’ of 973.7 billion monster… head coach-colleague admired too

The Los Angeles Dodgers awarded Shohei Ohtani (aged 30) an unprecedented amount of 700 million U.S. dollars for 10 years, even though he knew the reason. Ohtani proves the reason every moment.

In 76 games this season, Ohtani has a batting average of 0.321 (97 hits in 302) 23 home runs, 57 RBIs, 61 runs and 16 steals, an on-base percentage of 0.398, an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.632, an on-base plus 1.030 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), 4.2 contribution to victory against substitute players (WAR and FanGraph) and 187 ability to create adjusted goals (wRC+).

He is ranking first in batting average, home run, run scored, slugging percentage, OPS, wRC+ and fWAR in the National League. He is chasing after Marcel Osuna (Atlanta, 64) only in RBIs.

What’s more surprising is that he has displayed overwhelming performance while playing as the first hitter recently. Otani, who has been the second hitter all season, has been playing leadoff for the Dodgers since Mookie Betts’ finger injury. 토토사이트 꽁머니

Considering Ohtani’s productivity, there were disagreements on whether it would be the right choice to use him as No. 1, but as a result, it gives confidence that it is the perfect answer.

Since Betts’ injury, he has been batting hard with a batting average of 0.458 (11 hits in 24 at-bats) and four homers and 11 RBIs in six games as the first hitter. In addition, he has six walks and a on-base percentage of 0.567.

On this day, Ochani also hit a large two-run shot that flew about 140 meters at a batting speed of 115.5 miles (185.9 kilometers) in the bottom of the third inning.

The head coach and his teammates are also impressed. “Otani, who was unanimously named the MVP of the American League twice, has become one of the leading candidates for the first NL MVP in his first season with the Dodgers,” MLB.COM, the official website of MLB, introduced Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

“Otani is leading in batting average, home run and RBIs in the third place. This is very special,” Roberts said. “There has been no better player in the last few weeks.”

It is no longer surprising that he led the race in home runs and RBIs, but his batting average is quite different. He only posted a batting average of 0.257 in 2021 when he won the MVP award, and raised his batting average to .304 last year, which was impressive.

However, he maintained his power and productivity this season, and is ranking No. 1 in batting average. This is why Ohtani is considered the strongest candidate for NL MVP this season, even though he gave up pitching for a while. Ohtani is getting closer to perfection.

Ohsu-na, who is ranked first in RBIs after playing a home run race with Ohtani, is performing well with 16 stolen bases in addition to Ohtani.

As the first hitter, he continues to display strong batting performance. His ratio of hard hits (over 95 miles) is 61.8 percent, and his average batting speed is 95.6 miles, ranking first in both categories. Ohtani is also satisfied with this. “His batting speed is really good. I like this angle from the bat,” he said.

As a result, the Japanese superstar has hit six home runs over 450 feet (137 meters) this season, which is two more than the Dodgers’ (best) record in a single season since Statcast started tracking (distance) in 2015, the media said. “Otani hit four home runs over 450 feet in June alone, becoming the third player since 2015.”

“I’m always surprised,” starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow said of his batting speed. “Everyone seems to be always like, ‘Wow.’ It’s very fun for all of us as well.”

With Ohtani playing as the No. 1 hitter, Roberts was in happy trouble. “Even though Betts is clearly our No. 1 hitter, I feel comfortable knowing that Ohtani can play there,” he said.

Even after Betts’ return, the Dodgers have a choice to decide the first batter depending on the opponent’s starting pitcher and Betts’ condition. This is why Roberts, who has a batter named Ohtani who plays more than his role no matter what the batting order is, has no choice but to smile happily.
