When his fastball measuring 91.1 miles per hour (146.6 kilometers) rushed to the center at the third ball count 1-1, Ohtani sent the ball over the fence. It was a mega home run with a flying speed of 113.1 miles (182 kilometers) and a flying distance of 455 feet (138.6 meters). Dodgers is leading 2-0, thanks to Ohtani.
Sarah Reims of MLB.com said, "Ohtani has hit more than 450 feet (or 137 meters) this season alone. This is the highest record in Dodgers history since Statcast was created in 2015, and it is only mid-June. Ohtani is also listed as the first player to hit more than two homeruns at Dodger Stadium with a flying distance of 450 feet or more since Statcast was launched. Ohtani has recorded three homeruns at Dodger Stadium this year alone."
