Shohei Ohtani’s Home Run Reaction Leaves Fans Puzzled and Talking

Social media exploded with reactions when Shohei Ohtani displayed an unusual response following his home run during Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox. In the opening inning of the Los Angeles team’s game in Chicago, Shohei Ohtani sent a ball flying 376 feet off a pitch from Chris Flexen of the White Sox, securing a 1-0 lead for the visiting team.

Footage of Ohtani’s noteworthy home run was captured by the Dodgers’ television broadcast:

 

As captured by the zoomed-in camera shot below, Ohtani’s reaction to the ball sailing over the right field fence was comically priceless. Despite it making it over, there were a few moments where Ohtani was convinced he hadn’t hit a home run.

In a moment of confusion, Shohei Ohtani then had to retreat to first base to confirm he had indeed touched it before continuing his run around the bases:

Shohei Ohtani recently hit his 24th homer of the season, putting him at the top among National League hitters. As of this Tuesday, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees was the only one ahead of Ohtani, boasting 28 home runs.

Notably, Ohtani was recruited by the Dodgers for an astronomical $700 million, setting a new record for the biggest contract ever in professional sports—a notch above Lionel Messi’s $674 million deal with Barcelona.

Despite being sidelined from pitching due to elbow surgery, Ohtani’s performance at the plate has not disappointed. He is currently on track to exceed his personal bests in home runs, RBI, and batting average.

His acquisition has proven to be a boon for the Dodgers, who dream of clinching a World Series title with their stacked lineup.

The Dodgers are set to conclude their three-game series against the White Sox on Monday night before facing their longstanding rivals, the San Francisco Giants, later in the week.

In other news, Ohtan’s former interpreter was recently spotted in an unexpectedly new profession, drawing considerable public attention.

Ohtani’s move to the Dodgers and his subsequent performances have lived up to the fanfare, reaffirming his status as one of baseball’s most exciting talents to watch.
