Shohei Ohtani represented the LA Angels in the Home Run Derby Monday night, and clubbed 28 home runs.
He may not have advanced to the next round, but took Juan Soto to three rounds, forcing a three-swing swing-off to advance.
It was a tremendous round, but it wasn’t just that it was that competitive, or that he hit 28 jacks out of the park. It was that Ohtani made major history in his Home Run Derby outing.
