Joe Davis, the in-house announcer of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ home game, made the remarks shouting the name of Shohei Ohtani (30), who achieved the milestone of 50 home runs and 50 steals.
Ohtani started as the No. 1 designated hitter in a visiting game against the Miami Marlins in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 20th (Korea time), and played 6 hits, 10 RBIs and 4 runs in 6 at-bats, including 3 homers and 2 stolen bases.
Ohtani hit a huge double when he hit the fence from his first at-bat, and made his 50th steal of the season by surprise stealing third base. He then drew his 49th arch of the mega season in the sixth inning. The best moment in baseball history came in the seventh inning. Ohtani, who took the fifth batter’s box, pushed the knuckle curve of Miami pitcher Baumann to complete the long-awaited “50 Home Runs – 50 Steals.”
Ohtani ended the day with a three-run home run flying to the top of the pitch against fielder Bruhan, who pitched as a pitcher in the ninth inning.
“A player who cannot come out of reality has made the impossible possible,” ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, said of Ohtani’s 50-50, adding, “It’s the same thing as Roald Amundsen’s conquest of Antarctica, Charles Lindberg’s crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, and Neil Armstrong’s landing on the moon’s surface.”
MLB.COM praised Otani, saying, “Otani proved his level once again. Once a simple superlative expression of Otani is now completely true. He’s in his own league.”
“Some people called Ohtani a unicorn. But Ohtani is better than a unicorn because he exists,” he said. “Ohtani couldn’t be a pitcher this year due to elbow surgery a year ago, which was disappointing for the baseball community. However, it was also an opportunity to see what happens if he fully devotes his plan and preparation to one side.”
The Japanese archipelago was also in turmoil. Some newspapers, including the Yomiuri Shimbun, created extra editions on Sunday morning, which are temporarily distributed to promote important news on the streets.
Japanese government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi also said at a regular briefing, “I know we have achieved an unprecedented milestone,” adding, “I am truly happy and look forward to Otani’s future performance, which has pioneered a new level.”
Broadcasting companies such as NHK also detailed Ohtani’s record achievement in each news program.
After setting a milestone, Ohtani said, “I’m really happy that I won today. I wanted to achieve (50-50) as soon as possible, but today will be an unforgettable day for me.”토토사이트 순위
