Dodgers News: Dave Roberts, Max Muncy & James Outman Marvel At Shohei Ohtani's Home Run

Shohei Ohtani set the MLB record for most home runs hit by a Japanese-born player on Sunday and followed that up with another majestic long ball that won't soon be forgotten. With the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a 3-1 lead over the Washington Nationals in the ninth inning of their series opener, Ohtani provided some insurance with a solo home run that traveled 450 feet to the upper deck at Nationals Park. The homer had an exit velocity of 118.7 mph, which is the hardest-hit ball in the Majors this season. It was also the hardest-hit ball of Ohtani's career and the hardest-hit ball by any Dodgers player since Statcast started tracking exit velocity in 2015.
