Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani smashes leadoff homer as pitcher vs. Rockies

[ASFN Admin]

Shohei Ohtani is one of the best in the business and he continues to prove it.

The Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star crushed a leadoff home run in LA's Wednesday meeting with the Colorado Rockies in the bottom first inning, sending it 424 feet over the center field fence.

Ohtani's shot was the third leadoff home run by a pitcher in MLB history. That list includes Ohtani last week, on May 20, and Ohtani in Game 4 of last year's NLCS.

Shohei Ohtani has done it again.

For the second straight week, Ohtani has hit a leadoff home run for the Dodgers on the day of his pitching start.
