Shohei Ohtani clears seats at Dodger Stadium with 473-foot HR - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani hit his 30th home run in his 100th game for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday — and it was one of the most memorable in franchise history.

Ohtani turned on an 86 mph, down-the-middle cutter from Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford and sent it a whopping 473 feet to right-center field, leaving teammates in awe from the dugout. The baseball cleared the entire section of stands, sailed just below the roof that sits beyond them and bounced into the concourse below.

It was the second-longest Dodger Stadium home run in the Statcast era, which dates back to 2015, just shy of Giancarlo Stanton's 475-foot homer from 2015. Unofficially, Ohtani became the sixth player to hit a ball that essentially left Dodger Stadium, joining Stanton, Fernando Tatis Jr. (2021), Mark McGwire (1999), Mike Piazza (1997) and Willie Stargell (1973 and 1969).

With the homer, Ohtani became just the seventh player to amass both 30 homers and 20 steals within his first 100 games, joining Tatis in 2021, Christian Yelich in 2019, Jose Ramirez in 2018, Alfonso Soriano in 2006, Jeff Bagwell in 1999 and Alex Rodriguez in 1998.

Ohtani has seven homers of 450 feet or more this season, already tied for the second most by a Dodger since home run distance was first tracked in 2006. He also hit a 476-foot home run on June 18, giving him two of the five longest home runs this season.
