In the world of baseball, where legends are born from every swing of the bat, there’s one name that has redefined what power hitting means. Shohei Ohtani—once an untouchable force, a titan of the batter’s box—has found himself amid a struggle. His bat, once a hammer of destruction, has been silent this season, as if the baseball gods themselves had momentarily turned their backs.
The Dodgers were in desperate need of a spark, having dropped three straight games. It was also a chance for Ohtani to make a move after staying low-key this year. But the night turned out to be about Teoscar and Enrique Hernandez, with both taking the ball out of the park.
Yes, Ohtani again got no homer in his name, but got a triple, two doubles. Although the number doesn’t reflect someone like Ohtani, but still a roar of defiance against all odds.
“Haven’t been playing well. So, I personally think it’s nice to be able to hit it.”
Ohtani seems to be satisfied with how the night went for him. While no ball went out of the park from his bat, the fans can still sense the impending storm from the 3 hits he took today. Now that he is standing with 6 homers, 25 hits, and 8 RBIs, we might hope for an acceleration here on.
(Keep an eye on this space to know more about how Ohtani faced a different slump compared to his last year, and what’s ahead for him.)
