Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way star Shohei Ohtani added a new record to his outstanding career in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
In Tuesday night’s victory against the Cincinnati Reds, with a score of 5-4, Ohtani struck out in his first four plate appearances, something he had never experienced in his eight MLB seasons.<\/p>\n
This is the sixth time that the Japanese star and current National League MVP has recorded four strikeouts in a game, and the second time this season, the previous one was against San Diego on June 17.<\/p>\n
In a game against the Seattle Mariners on July 17, 2021, playing for the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani failed in his first at-bat and was then struck out in his next four opportunities.<\/p>\n
Nick Lodolo of Cincinnati became the thirteenth pitcher to strike out Ohtani three times in a single game. The Reds’ left-hander got Ohtani to chase a curveball outside the strike zone in the first and fifth innings, and struck him out with a 94.6 mph fastball in the third.<\/p>\n
Later, Graham Ashcraft struck out Ohtani with an inside slider in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
Ohtani was one strike away from his first game with five strikeouts, before hitting a fly ball to right field with a 2-2 count in the ninth inning, with the game tied 4-4.<\/p>\n
Ohtani came into the game with a nine-game hitting streak and leading the majors with 100 runs scored. In addition, he leads the National League in slugging (.620), total bases (254), OPS (1.001), and 38 home runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
