Yesterday I said that Ohtani’s home run mechanism has not returned yet, and today he hit the ball on the first pitch of the game. I want to say three things about this video: First, the data of today’s ball—initial velocity of 111.3mph and swing speed of 75mph—just perfectly meet the home run conditions I mentioned yesterday. This is not to refute yesterday’s analysis, but to verify it. Second, in the same game, his swing speed dropped back below 70mph in the next two batting seats, which shows that one ball does not mean that the mechanism has returned to stability. Third, today is his start with the fewest balls and the fewest innings this season, and it is the only game where he pitches in the same field. This direction is worth continuing to track. Ohtani created the first time in the 126 years of MLB regular season today, and it was also the ball with the highest initial velocity this year. But on the same day, the average speed of the four-seam line dropped to 96.1mph in the fifth inning, indicating a bases-loaded crisis. The conclusion mentioned in the previous episode has not changed: the average swing speed must return to above 74mph before the home run mechanism can be said to be truly stable. 📊 Data used: Baseball Savant / Statcast, Pitch Profiler 📅 Game Date: May 20, 2026, Dodgers @ Padres
