Shohei Ohtani blasted a solo shot at PNC Park that leapt off the bat at 120 mph, the hardest-hit ball in the Statcast era. Off Bubba Chandler at 99.2 mph, it became the toughest homer off a sub-100 mph pitch in the era and pushed Ohtani’s season total to 46, plus his 100th Dodgers homer. He remains a DH candidate as he builds back toward full mound work, with Teoscar Hernández backing the offense and the Dodgers clinging to a narrow NL West lead.

Ohtani’s feat comes amid a Dodgers- Pirates test, with Teoscar Hernández driving in a run to tighten the score and Rafael Diaz-like power looming on the horizon for fantasy managers. The Dodgers sit at 78-59, entertaining a hopeful finish as Ohtani continues to blend elite power with a recovered mound role, following a five-inning start against the Reds and prepping for another start versus Pittsburgh.
