Ohtani Hits 300th HR, First Japanese Star | Venice Beach News

Shohei Ohtani just smashed his 300th career home run — a 409-foot solo shot that made him the first Japanese-born player in MLB history to reach this milestone. It was his 20th homer of the season and came with an exit velocity of 119 mph, perfectly “squared up” and out of the park in a hurry.

Ohtani continues to rewrite the record books and redefine greatness on the diamond. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
