It's Shohei Ohtani's world, we're just living in it.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star on Sunday afternoon at Dodgers Stadium launched his second home run in as many days with a two-run blast to straightaway center field in the bottom of the first inning. According to MLB.com the home run had an exit velocity of 104.3 miles per hour, a launch angle of 31 degrees and an estimated distance of 412 feet.
Ohtani's ninth long ball of the season gave his club a 2-0 lead on Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves. It was only his second home run against a left-hander all season, and the second home run allowed by Fried to a left-handed batter.

Ohtani also homered in Saturday's 11-2 drubbing of the Braves. His solo shot in that game, his eighth of the season, gave LA a 3-0 lead and was part of a five-homer night for the Dodgers.
