Shohei Ohtani’s twenty seventh house run of the season — touring at 112 mph — probably injured a younger fan throughout the Dodgers’ 6-5 win in opposition to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
The $700 million celebrity hit a homer within the seventh inning and the ball appeared to hit a younger fan within the stands within the head, as seen in a video on social media.
Ohtani launched a 433-foot, two-run house run to right-center, which put the Dodgers forward, 4-3, within the seventh.
The video confirmed the younger fan, whose hat appeared to fly off, grabbing his head and crouching down within the crowd of clamoring followers.
Ohtani watched the ball fly into the stands as he made his means across the bases to house plate.
It’s unclear if the fan required medical consideration or suffered a critical damage.
The Dodgers didn’t instantly reply to The Publish’s request for remark.
Ohtani is simply hitting for the Dodgers and never pitching as he continues to rehab from a surgical procedure he underwent in September to restore the UCL in his proper elbow.
He beforehand underwent Tommy John surgical procedure on the finish of the 2018 season to restore a tear in that very same UCL — which sidelined him for the 2019 season.
The reigning American League MVP reached a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers in December.
Ohtani, who will flip 30 on July 5, received’t be obtainable to pitch in 2024.
He’s a high contender to win NL MVP, slashing .320/.402/.646 with 27 homers and 64 RBIs.
The Dodgers host the Diamondbacks within the second assembly of their three-game collection Wednesday.
