Shohei Ohtani First Home Run

Shohei Ohtani First Home Run

On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at Dodgers Stadium, the 3x AL MVP player Shohei Ohtani hit his first home run as an LA Dodgers. During the first inning, the San Francisco Giants scored two runs while the Dodgers also scored two. For the next several innings, each team was able to score a couple of runs but remained in a tie until the sixth inning. By the sixth, the Dodgers took the lead with a score of 5-4. Finally, in the seventh inning, with two outs, Ohtani showed up to the plate. 

When Ohtani appeared, everyone in the stadium was cheering his name and was eager to see him bat. Ohtani was battling with San Francisco Giant pitcher Taylor Roger and the battle was intense. The count was 3-2 with three balls and two strikes then CRACK! He launched the ball to deep right field and the ball went over. With this exciting start, it looks like the season will be fantastic for the Dodgers with Ohtani possibly winning another MVP Award.

    This article was very moving. The writing is very elegant and beautiful. The author must be a top class author and has years of writing. The use of figurative language is excellent. I hope this author signs my passport. I cried while reading this because how first-class this writing is. Writing about the Dodgers was an outstanding choice over the terrible Angels. I think this author is superb, marvelous, magnificent, and exceptional. I hope this author continues writing.
