Shohei Ohtani goes 449 feet for 3rd straight game with HR

Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani hit his third homer of the season Friday night in his first at-bat. He crushed a 93 mph, two-seam fastball from Oakland starter Daniel Gossett way out to left-center, 449 feet on to the fake rocks up by the camera well.

That's three straight games with a home run.

Ohtani leads the Angels with a .467 average, with 7 hits in 15 ABs. He leads the Angels with 6 RBI in 5 games played. Ohtani was again batting in the No. 8 spot, as DH.

He'll be on the mound Sunday, getting his first home start of the season against the Athletics.
