Singlevs New York Yankees· Jake Bird
98.7 mph125 ft8°

Whoa, RBI single coming through! It was a grounder, but he hit it hard enough to find a gap — that makes it 7-1, a huge insurance run! He'd been struggling at the plate all game, but coming up clutch right when it mattered most — that's just what Ohtani does. Absolutely love it!

Doublevs New York Yankees· Cam Schlittler
111.1 mph351 ft20°

OHHHH, he hit it!! That erases the sting from the first-inning strikeout, and he brought that runner home in style! 111.1 mph off the bat—dude was fully locked in on that swing. This is exactly it, an Ohtani double just never gets old!

Home Runvs Colorado Rockies· Michael Lorenzen
112.2 mph409 ft19°

THERE IT IS!! Ohtani leads off the game with THIS?! 112.2 mph off the bat, 409 feet — the sinker caught too much plate and he absolutely crushed it! Unreal way to start things off!

Tue, Jul 7, 2026

Singlevs Colorado Rockies· Kyle Freeland
91.4 mph43 ft0°

There he goes again—following up that 3rd inning at-bat with another clutch moment! Sure, it was just a grounder, but that's exactly what makes Ohtani special: he gets the job done and widens the gap when it matters most. Runner from third scores, that's a huge insurance run right there!

Home Runvs Colorado Rockies· Kyle Freeland
105.9 mph379 ft29°

WHOA, that's OUT OF HERE!! Ohtani didn't hesitate for a second on Freeland's cutter, just crushed it on the first pitch! Doesn't matter if it's 0 outs or 2 outs, this guy swings like he means it every time — that's exactly what you want from your cleanup hitter. He was still fuming over that liner in the first inning, but he flipped the switch immediately, that's our guy!

Singlevs San Diego Padres· Adrian Morejon
75.4 mph208 ft20°

Whoa, Ohtani battled through that at-bat! He fought off a 100+ mph four-seamer and a sinker just to keep the fight alive, and with two outs he came through with pure grit! Didn't need to hit it hard—just placed it in front to bring home the runner from third. Dodgers just cut the deficit to one, and this game is far from over!

OHHH MY GOD!! You throw him five sweepers in a row and THAT'S what happens?! 432 feet with an exit velocity of 112 mph — this man is not human, he literally cannot be human!! And a 3-run blast with 2 outs to blow it open by 5, after going 0-for-3 in his previous at-bats — only Ohtani pulls something like THAT out when it matters most!!

Had me sweating a little after that strikeout in the first, but of course Ohtani came through — because that's just what he does! He took a 95.7 mph sinker and drilled it back as a liner to drive in the run. Honestly, the way this guy flips the switch and bounces back is just on a completely different level.

Singlevs San Diego Padres· Randy Vásquez
112.3 mph189 ft11°

Let's GOOO! I was getting a little antsy watching him go 0-for-3, but he jumped on that fastball and absolutely crushed it — clean line drive, 112 km/h exit velo, this man's swing is just on a different planet. We're up 6-1 so it's basically cruise control, but honestly, every single Ohtani hit never gets old!

Home Runvs Pittsburgh Pirates· Gregory Soto
103.9 mph412 ft30°

WOOOOO!! THERE IT IS!! He was 0-for-4 on the day and I was sweating bullets, but then he jumps all over a first-pitch 99 mph fastball in the 9th — that's Ohtani being Ohtani! 412 feet, and it's a one-run game now! This thing ain't over yet, Dodgers — don't you dare give up!

Doublevs Pittsburgh Pirates· Wilber Dotel
101.5 mph181 ft8°

WOOOO there it is, Ohtani-san delivers! Tied 2-2 in the 7th, hitless in his first three at-bats, and then he comes through with a clutch RBI double in the biggest spot of the game! He turned around a 98.6 mph fastball and smoked it 101.5 mph on a line — this guy is just on another level! That hit puts us ahead, and man, this beer has never tasted better!

Oh yeah, Ohtani's on fire! He ambushed that sinker before getting into a two-strike hole — this is exactly what we want! The exit velocity was 112 mph, an absolute frozen rope as always. We're down 0-2, but once Ohtani gets on base the momentum's coming our way — let's go Dodgers!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Ohtani Highlights

Q1How are highlight at-bats selected?

We automatically surface home runs, run-scoring (clutch) hits, hard-hit balls (110+ mph exit velocity), and long home runs (400+ ft distance). The list updates automatically after each game.

Q2What kind of data does each highlight show?

Every highlight detail page replays the full pitch sequence (type, velocity, location) and batted-ball data (exit velo, launch angle, distance) for that plate appearance, plus a strike-zone chart.

Q3Can I browse past seasons?

Yes. Use the season tabs at the top of the page to travel back through previous seasons (2026 and later).

Q4What is the Highlights page?

This is a curated archive that automatically surfaces Shohei Ohtani's most impressive at-bats — home runs, clutch hits, and barrel contact. Each entry is paired with Statcast data (exit velocity, launch angle, distance) and the full pitch sequence from MLB Stats API and Baseball Savant. The archive updates automatically after every game.

Q5What qualifies as a Barrel hit?

A Barrel is a Statcast-defined quality-of-contact metric: a batted ball with an exit velocity of at least 98 mph and a launch angle in the optimal range (roughly 26–30°, widening as exit velo increases). Balls that meet this threshold yield a batting average of .500 or better and a slugging percentage of 1.500 or better. Ohtani's barrel hits are featured in the Season Best section on this page.
