Digest more
Ahead of his return to the mound, and Dodgers pitching debut, the two-way sensation continues to showcase his unique greatness.
Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, who have combined to win five of the last eight Most Valuable Player awards, are lapping the rest of Major League Baseball in the first batch of All-Star Game balloting.
His first pitch was a 97.6 mph fastball low in the strike zone that Fernando Tatis Jr. fouled off. Ohtani got Tatis to swing and miss at a 98.3 mph fastball before the Padres right fielder hit an inside 99 mph pitch for a single. Tatis advanced to second on a wild pitch, which was clocked at 100.2 mph.
