Full count. A nasty sweeper diving off the plate. Shohei Ohtani said no thanks. 💣

The upper body working back while the lower body is working forward and the hips starting the rotation as the hands are still holding tension back sets up the front half adjustment

And supplies power while doing so…great adjustment here from Shoehei

3-2 count, a sweeper breaking 16 inches away from him — the kind of pitch that buckles most hitters. Ohtani reached out and lined it 391 feet to right-center for HR #13.

📊 The damage:
⚾ Exit velo: 107.7 mph
📐 Launch angle: 21° (pure line drive)
📏 Distance: 391 ft
🔥 Pitch: 82.6 mph sweeper (16.4 in. of horizontal break)
🌀 Spin: 2,744 rpm

Barreling up a full-count breaking ball moving that much is not normal. It’s why he’s Shohei.

👇 107 off the bat on a sweeper away. Is Ohtani the best bad-ball hitter in baseball?
