Shohei Ohtani has set another record by playing two way at the same time.
On August 17 (local time), Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels recorded his first four-hit game of the season against the Seattle Mariners. In his fifth at-bat, he hit his 27th home run of the season.
By “playing two way,” Ohtani set another record.
As a pitcher, he has pitched five days since the All-Star Game, and has already pitched three times this month. While it is not surprising that his condition has been affected, his batting has been as strong as ever. After this game, his batting average for the month is at a high average of .350.
He was close, but the Mariners were outbid. However, Ohtani’s performance in this game was nothing short of spectacular. In his fourth at-bat, he hit a three-base hit, becoming only the second player in history since 1920 to record 20 wins and 20 triples.
This record-breaking performance in both pitching and hitting has been very well received by the local community. In an article titled “Ohtani Achieves Another Great Achievement,” the U.S. website “THE COLD WIER” praised him as “a human record maker.
First, the media outlet recalled the result against the Mariners as “a day to remember,” noting, “With this triple, he has made history once again. He added, “A triple is very difficult to hit because it requires speed as well as power, and it also requires luck, such as a bounce off the outfield fence or a poor read by the fielder. Hence, sluggers hit a lot of doubles and homers, but not many triples,” he said, explaining the difficulty of recording the record.
The media outlet also noted, “This season, he hit 17 doubles, five triples, and 27 home runs. As a pitcher, he also pitched 117 innings, winning 10 games and posting a 2.69 earned-run average. Otani is the ace and top pitcher for the Angels, but he is also an elite slugger,” he said, emphasizing his stats this season. He also claimed that he won the American League MVP award last year by playing two different sports, and he has great potential to do so again this season.
He also praised Otani, saying, “Otani continues to make the impossible possible. What kind of “showtime” will Otani, who continues to leave behind records that truly transcend the times, provide us with for the rest of the season? There is no end to the fun.
