Shohei Ohtani's historic 2021 season can be summed up in one home run call from a May night in Anaheim, California.
Sam Hentges, a 198-cm Cleveland Indians left-hander, threw Ohtani a 151 kph (94 mph) fastball that was right down the middle, but far above the strike zone. As Indians catcher Rene Rivera reached up for it, Ohtani swung at a nearly neck-high pitch and somehow sent the ball high into the night sky for a home run to deep right.
In the broadcast booth, Matt Vasgersian made a call that essentially summed up what anyone who watched Ohtani this year has thought at some point or another.
