Shohei Ohtani, The Fastest Since his MLB Debut

Ohtani Hits a 191 km/h Home Run, The Fastest Since his MLB Debut… Season No. 6

Shohei Ohtani (29, Los Angeles Dodgers) set a meaningful milestone with a home run that was literally like a ‘missile’.

Ohtani hit a one-run home run in the 9th inning when the team was ahead 3-1 in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB)

visiting game against the Washington Nationals held at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on the 24th (Korean time).

He swung the bat vigorously without missing Washington pitcher Matt Barnes’ splitter,

and the batted ball disappeared beyond the stands in an instant, leaving behind Ohtani’s signature roar.

The Washington fielders, who sensed a home run the moment it was hit,

had no choice but to watch the hit without moving a single step. 카지노 커뮤니티

This is Ohtani’s sixth home run of the season.

According to MLB Statcast, Ohtani’s home run batting speed was 118.7 miles per hour (about 191 km) and the distance was 450 feet (about 137 m).

In addition to being a home run that flew far, it was also a record-breaking home run.

MLB.com revealed the results, saying, “This hit was the fastest hit by a Dodgers player since 2015,

when Statcast began measuring it.”

Even for Ohtani, who hit 177 home runs in MLB, this is the fastest batted ball.

According to Statcast data, the fastest home run of all time is 121.7 miles per hour (about 196 km),

recorded by Giancarlo Stanton (New York Yankees) against the Texas Rangers on August 10, 2018.

The person with the fastest hit that is not a home run is also Stanton (122.2 miles per hour, approximately 197 km).

Ohtani’s home run on this day is tied for 12th all-time, and the batting speed is the same as Stanton’s home run against the Atlanta Braves on September 29, 2017.

Stanton, a ‘man of great strength,’ ranked alone in five of the top ten in terms of exit speed.

Led by Shohei Ohtani’s wedge home run, the Dodgers won 4-1 over Washington and maintained first place in the National League West Division with 14 wins and 11 losses.

Incheon Airport ‘Abuzz’ at Lee Jung-hoo’s Departure

Incheon Airport ‘Abuzz’ at Lee Jung-hoo’s Departure… An Endless Line of Signs

Incheon International Airport was crowded when Lee Jeong-hoo (25) returned after signing a large contract with the San Francisco Giants of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) last month.

Fans who knew in advance about Lee Jung-hoo’s return to the airport and waited for him,

as well as citizens who came to see the people gathered, cheered and applauded.

On the 1st, more than a month later, a large crowd gathered as Lee Jung-hoo left the country to begin his full-scale challenge to the MLB stage. 카지노사이트킹

Rico Sports, Lee Jeong-hoo’s domestic agent, held a press conference in the far corner of the departure hall of Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 to avoid disturbing passengers visiting the airport,

but baseball fans began to gather one by one to see off Lee Jeong-hoo.

Kim Hee-jin, who visited the airport holding a Kiwoom Heroes uniform with ‘Lee Jung-hoo No. 51’ engraved on it, said,

“I came out with a friend because I thought it would be difficult to see him in person for a while when I leave for the United States.”

While Lee Jeong-hoo’s press conference was in progress, a line naturally formed to get his autograph.

At first, there were about 10 people in line, and after about 10 minutes, there were already close to 100 people.

After Lee Jung-hoo finished her press conference, instead of heading straight to her departure hall,

she headed to where her fans were waiting.

And a surprise autograph session was held for Korean fans in Korea, which ‘will be the last for a while’.

Even though Lee Jeong-hoo kept signing autographs, the line showed no signs of shrinking.

This is because new fans continued to gather.

Lee Jung-hoo, who would have signed autographs for all the fans who visited the airport if he had had time to board the plane,

had no choice but to ask for understanding and leave.

An official from Ricoh Sports said, “Lee Jeong-hoo kept signing autographs for over 10 minutes,

and after signing autographs for about 70% of the fans in line, he entered the departure hall.”

Lee Jeong-hoo, who leaves the country on this day,

will immediately go to Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, where the San Francisco spring camp is held, and begin full-scale training.
