Los Angeles Angels’ two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 100th career home run during a game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.
The fifth inning hit made Ohtani the third Japanese-born player to hit 100 or more home runs in MLB history, just behind baseball legends Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki.
The 27-year-old athlete now follows in Babe Ruth’s footsteps as the second player with at least 100 home runs as a hitter and at least 250 strikeouts as a pitcher in MLB history.
Ohtani’s home run also helped the Angels pull off a 9-1 victory over the Athletics.
A day after the milestone, Ohtani hit his 101st career home run and his eighth home run this season in another victory against the Athletics.
