Shohei Ohtani highlight: Ohtani smashes 17th home run vs. Rangers image

Shohei Ohtani is cooking again. Wednesday night against the Rangers he stepped to the plate with one out and nobody on in the bottom of the first. Rangers starter Jon Gray tried sneaking a slider down to Ohtani, but it caught too much of the zone and allowed Ohtani to drop his bat head on it. The result was a 105.2 MPH line drive that travelled an estimated 424 feet. Ohtani's 17th big fly of the year gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead over Texas.

Aside from writing, Kyle also hosts a radio show, the Insiders, with James Ham on ESPN 1320 in Sacramento. When he’s not being a sports dork, Kyle loves being a normal dork and traveling, visiting museums, diving further into K-Pop fandom (#SKZ) and hanging out with his wife and cats.
