Ohtani's 176th career home run came in the third inning of the Dodgers' 10-0 victory over the Mets at Dodger Stadium. The 423-foot homer off Mets pitcher Adrian Houser gave the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead. Hideki Matsui set the previous record in 2012, and since then, few players have come close to challenging it. Unlike many Japanese players in the MLB who focus on pitching or contact hitting, Ohtani stands out with his exceptional power. He led the American League in home runs last season, becoming the first Japanese-born player to do so.
