For Shohei Ohtani, they can result in home runs. The Japanese star became the third player in Dodgers history to reach 20 homers in the team’s first 55 games with a two-run towering drive during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians.

Now in Year 2 of his 10-year, $700 million deal, he already has an inside track at his third straight MVP.

Shohei Ohtani attacks the first pitch of the game and sends it out of the park to give the Dodgers an immediate lead over the Guardians.
