The Dodgers brought a sequence of four consecutive defeats in the Tuesday evening match against the Brewers, but it did not take them long to take an early advance. Shohei Ohtani launched the match with a home run and he heard his money.
Statcast fixed this one at 431 feet and that would not bother me a recount. Anyway, the explosion was the 31st of Ohtani’s season and it is a bit of an important step in the illustrious the history of the Dodgers. It was Ohtani’s 31st circuit stroke and it is a club record with the qualification of being a home run “in the first half”.

It should be noted that in the “split” language of baseball, the “first half” is games that occurred before the stars break and it is not necessarily halfway. In fact, these days, it comes a little after the half of the 162 game season. It was the 93rd dodgers match of the season while the 28 SNIDER circuits listed above came in 83 games and that the 28 Hodges circuits arrived in just 77.
We are always before the stars break, so it counts. Ohtani has made the history of dodgers. Again.
