MLB Fans Were in Awe of the Sound Shohei Ohtani’s Bat Made on Monstrous Home Run
Shohei Ohtani added another unforgettable game to his legendary career Tuesday night when he struck out 10 White Sox batters and also hit two home runs in the Angels’ 4–2 win at home.
Ohtani’s first home run came in the bottom of the first inning, and it was an absolute no-doubter that landed deep in the seats in right field. That was his 27th home run of the season and he found a really smart way to celebrate it in the dugout, considering he was pitching in the game.
The most impressive part of this homer wasn’t how far it traveled, but the sound it made when his bat struck the ball.
Just listen to this:

Goodness.
MLB fans were rightfully in awe of that:
The call. The swing. The sound off the bat.

I don’t follow baseball but every single clip of Ohtani I see has him making the platonic ideal of what bat/ball contact should sound like. It’s like SFX https://t.co/ZypAO4WbqR
